LO3: Creating production materials

This graphic advertises a chance to win a prize upon getting the magazine, this is to attract the reader the read my magazine as they feel they are getting something back. As my audience is primarily females I wanted to use pink in my housestyle colours as it Is a stereotypically female colour. I used a sans serif font not only to stand out but to also give it a modern feel to attract a slightly younger audience.

This is my masthead. Again  I used a sans serif font not only to stand out but to also give it a modern feel to attract a slightly younger audience. i made the masthead black/white to stick to conventions of an indie magazine as magazines such as NME and Kerrang use black/white mastheads.

I used these banners to make the text standout against the background and create a contrast. I used the colours yellow and pink to stand out, this are almost neon colours which gives connotations of energy and excitement.  The neon colours can relate to the signs/colours the audience may see when they are at gig venues, this reaches to a music based audience.
