Appealing to my Target Audience

In order for my magazine to appeal to the audience I will need to use a model that fits the criteria of a young student who is interested in music, I will use Photoshop in order to produce a defined (blemish free) image and one that stands out above any other student magazine. They will be posed in a strong fun position holding a guitar or with headphones on both will show it is a music magazine. They will also have a happy face which shows interest in the topic. The audience will be interested in the model as they are a likeness of them and the happiness will reflect onto the reader and show that they will be happy too when reading the magazine. It will be a medium close up and this means a very detailed image.
There will be strong colours on the cover such as reds and blues, these will stand out, I will also use white to go with the colour of the models T-shirt. I will use San Serif font which is bold and I will overlap some of the letters to make it more unusual and different. The layout will be very structured and appealing to the eye as you will be able to tell different cover lines from the next and also the picture boost will stand out like a statement for the magazine. My target audience would be fun and I aim to make the cover look as exciting as possible which will connote the audience. 
The Masthead will be in San Serif and bold with overlapped letters to make a statement to the reader and this connotes strong personality, which the audience will be as they have a lot of will power to do well in music and with their careers. The language will be less formal as its aimed for students who will have a sense of humour and be fun as they like to listen to all sorts of music. This connotes a younger audience and people who come from all different backgrounds, as anyone can play music and anyone can listen to music. The puff will show its the BEST music magazine for students.
The cover lines will be about different events that are happening in music and stories about people who have been successful in the industry, this will interest the reader as they will be striving for that success. Will add some quotes from stories that will shock people, ones that will interest the audience and I will put a cover line that is about buying instruments or add in the top 10 songs of the month. All of the cover lines have a uniqueness about them and will capture the audience's attention.
