“Underage” magazine appeals to our target audience because of the styling of the letters. The letters are curved so they represent our target audience which are prominently female teenagers. Although the letters our curved it is not entirely feminine as the font is black so it has a certain edge with agrees with what our magazine is trying to represent. The barcode of the magazine is at a bottom right corner of my cover so that it does not distract the viewer and so that content of my front page can entirely be the focus.
The cover lines of the magazine are bright and creative so they can represent the magazine and they can attract the target audience, the font of one particular cover line uses red font that looks very inventive and individual as it looks very playful. The photo of Mila Kunis I have used is her standing in the centre being a brick wall. I have used this photo because it represents edginess and individuality. In this photo she is wearing dramatic makeup to signify her edginess and to look creative and trendy. She is also wearing quirky, trendy clothing to symbolize what the magazine represents as one of the magazine’s primary focuses is fashion and in the shot the clothing represents that.
The pose that Mila has is very chilled out as she is slanted against the wall, she looks cool and collected in this photo also representing the magazine because the magazine is not conventional as it is not similar to most teen magazines because the cover model does not appear to be smiling and active instead she looks edgy and cool. I have used particular colours and graphics because I wanted my magazine to look imaginative and creative so I used a wide-range of fonts to signify that, I wanted to use a wide variety of colours but I then settled on four colours because I did not wanted my magazine to look over done, messy and cheap. I used cool, underrated writing because I did not want my magazine too look cheap and exaggerated. The primary colours I used for my magazine are grey, black, white and red. I used red to attract the readers with large fonts, to make it look more individual. I used black, white and grey to compromise with the photo I have used to the cover can have an overall theme. I think my magazine cover looks similar to Nylon magazine covers because of the overall edginess of both magazine covers as they both are very individual and unconventional.
These adverts i have chosen to feature in my magazine because they represent the readership, the are primarily aimed at teenagers but not in a typical cliche way. I have feautured a keds advert because of the advert presents people looking youthful, fun, you and fresh. Although the people look youthful they do not look cliche youthful, they look cool and modern which is what my magazine is trying to convey. The harajuku lovers perfume advert represents teenagers in a very quirky, creative, original manner it is youthful but it can be individual and creative also.
