Evaluation - Question 7D

When creating a music magazine it is important to get all the conventions of a magazine onto the front cover. One key aspect of a successful magazine would be the sell lines around the photo which lure the audience into buying the magazine.

Even though I have got sell lines on my school magazine, I think that the sell lines are not successful in luring the audience into buying the magazine, also the font they are in along with the colour do not make them stand out when they should stand out to the audience.

However, on my music magazine I carefully thought about what my sell lines could be as I thought my sell lines on my school magazine were unsuccessful. Also I positioned my sell lines in a different way on my music magazine as by putting them layered over the photo the audience would be looking at the sell lines as they are positioned close to the images.

I think my music magazine's sell lines were more successful as I put 'question and answer inside' which will automatically lure people into buying the magazine as they will want to see the questions asked and answers given. Also by putting the name of a band on the front cover, fans of that particular band (Vendetta) would automatically be drawn to the magazine as this certain band have a feature within the magazine.
