I could have this font for my magazine title. It’s bold print, largely spaced out and the style it’s created in is small cubed blocks. Does stand out and if it is the style it is and if some colour is added to it too then it will definitely catch the reader’s attention.

My magazine!!

Target audience: early and late teens
Gender: males
Genre: Political
Title: ‘Vex It Up’
Main cover image: Title maybe down the left hand side of the cover with a few arrows pointing up, linking back to the title meaning turn it up. The image on the front cover will be a medium shot maybe placed towards the top right hand side. Then under the image just little insider details of what else is included inside. A am also going to include a pull quote on the front cover and then on the double page spread include another differnet quote which will be a lot larger and bolder to the rest of the text.

The contents page mainly including what is going to be in the rest of the magazine. Maybe a medium shot and somewhere near the top and then roughly three different smaller images near the bottom of the page. I am going to include a promotion/offer and which will make the viewers subscribe.
Double page spread will have a long shot prefrebly on the left hand side and then three columns towards the right side or near the bottom for the text. I'm going to definately include an interview which will have a range of mixed questions such as: the artists lifestyle, music, career, education etc.
