Music Magazine Analysis 2

‘World Exclusive’ acts a sell line which boosts the magazine’s status as the audience believe that they are being let into private and un-leaked information. The use of colour makes it stand out more on the white and black so that the reader is immediately attracted to the slogan. This sell line also targets the audience as they are attracted to this ‘exclusive’ magazine.
 
 
 This slogan attracts fans as they would instantly be interested to hear the comeback story of the band. The image that goes alongside of the slogan backs up this given information as their facial expressions emphasise this ‘story’ is interesting and makes the story seem more exciting.
The continuous use of red makes this entire information eye catching to the audience as it stands out on the white and black. This information is furthermore conveyed as exclusive as it is ‘the story of a lifetime’.
The slogan also backs up the image as it proves that in the time the band were apart, they haven’t changed and are still as they were before. This interests the reader as they want to know what happened in the time they were a broken band.

The free giveaway in this magazine helps to emphasise the target audience. The audience is portrayed through the giveaway by what the item is. A 17-page collection would be more appealing to an older person that it would a young. This suggests that the target audience of this magazine would be aimed at older teens- young adults. Ranging between 17-25. The target audience is also suggested by the giveaway being based on Fleetwood Mac, this is a band better known by an older audience which makes the magazine appear of a civilised nature. I believe this magazine is aimed at both male and females as it has more male associated bands on the front but also includes ‘the original sugababes’ which highlights a potential female interest.
