Research on Magazines

This magazine has been produced very cleverly as is has put Cheryl Cole on the front which is clever because she is one of the biggest music artists at this moment in time and will entice anybody who enjoys upbeat songs, pop, hip hop and RnB music. As well as being an musical artist, Cheryl Cole is a fashion icon to a lot of people all over the world which will draw in a whole new potential audience to buy the magazine which could then lead on to this potential audience to carry on buying the magazine for years. On the right hand side of the magazine it says 'THE 10 BEST NEW ACTS', if the front cover appeals to them there may be more acts inside that could be like Cheryl Cole which is what first drew them to look at the magazine in the first place. That is just one of the ways the designer and publisher of the magazine are trying to make it appeal to their audience. All of the adverts and appeals round the edge of the magazine cover are all there to engage the reader into buying the magazine and this magazine does that well by also advertising other artists such as 'Vampire Weekend, Musk, Snow Patrol, Midlake, 50 cent and more'. The magazine has tried to put as many different genres and types of artists to attract different types of music lovers and readers to the magazine.
