Cover Lines.

My cover lines are similar to those seen mainly in 'Rock Sound', however apply to a much wider range  in audience by my use of different music genres.


I decided to use album reviews and fake 'scandal' stories in order to draw my audience into what they may be expecting; as well as enticing them, this method is seen primarily within 'Kerrang!', however they use extremes of this to exaggerate and gain more attention from their target audience.


Usually, music magazines are very busy with cove lines and tend to maybe 'overcrowd' with stories and possibly make the front cover look to busy. I decided to try and challenge this by having few, but important and current cover lines; only including 3. My aim here was to try and use my front cover as a 'teaser trailer' almost or my entire magazine. By giving only a few bits of information in order to make the reader want to continue reading.


The reason for my choice in genre for my cover lines came from the results o my audience questionnaire, as seen here: 
This allowed for me to see that a majority of young people have a very fluid preference in music, never really set into only listening to one genre of music.
