How I attract audience:
Large and bold font for all elements in the masthead.
A strapline that summarises the contents of the magazine.
Prominent contents in the magazine as cover line - interview with Aishwarya, Around the Island an important segment that resonates with audience and main editorial Another Universe.
In the cover image, one model is making direct mode of address, while the other faces away to make the shot powerful.
Thumbnail of the book being featured so that readers know what the particular issue is about.
Representation on Cover:
I featured two of the main leads in the book on my cover.
I chose this particular picture specially because of the female and male representation. Unlike most fashion magazines, this does not cater to a particular gender. In addition, featuring romantic interests on the cover is the easiest way to attract my target audience, as everyone will want to know the details behind it.
I put the country name as well, to show that this book is placed in a local context and has contents specifically for the local community.
Other elements:
I even used a barcode and dateline on the cover to make the product more realistic.
I used different fonts and styles to make my cover line more attractive and highlight the important facts like the interviewee name, exclusive content etc. I didn't want to use too much colour in the cover as I felt that not only would it clash with my colour palette but also take the focus off my picture.
