My front cover has a main image of a close up of Arun. The rock theme is clearly expressed through mise en scene. This entails the elements of the mise en scene, such as the dark- blue bandana with white stylish pattern design. Unconventionally this was worn around Arun's mouth and nose, contributing to the main cover line, 'Arun Unmasked'. Along with the bandana, his messy hair style, bracelet and black jacket also add to the rock style genre.
The typeface of the masthead is Acid label contrasting between the simple Ariel typeface of the anchor credit line. A drop shadow was also used in the button flash to portray a creative feel to the magazine.
The type of media language was also signifiant to attract my target market. Hooks, teasers and freebies were required to lure in the audience, such as 'Behind the scenes', 'Plus' and 'Poster special'. Along with those features, phrases, like 'Anam tells all', 'Zaimar returns', 'the world's biggest supergroup' or 'Burzum back from the brink', all convey the same message and purpose to pull the audience in purchasing the magazine. These hooks are a key attribute, as they allow profits to be made, causing magazine institutions to be successful in business, along with their distributors.
