For my Indie magazine i have chosen to use two images which comply with the stereotypical view of the music genre 'Indie'; shy, vunerable, skinny jeans, preppy, intentionally messy hair etc. My simple magazine title of 'INDIE' is in big, bold, legible font for the audience to see clearly, and is also a bright white colour, to contrast with the darker background of the image behind. The transparency banner with the tilted headline over the top helps the headline to stand out and be more clearly read by the audience. The colour i have chosen for the headline is a pastel, pale green, which is a colour that generally represents this music genre; people who comply with the stereotype of 'indie' tend to wear paler colours instead of bright, bold colours. The font i used to capture the target audience's attention, as i think it represents the very elegant, feminine style of Indie. The vintage style background i have used in the bottom half of the magazine is also used to target the audience of Indie people, as the style of indie is generally associated with vintage. I included a front cover advetisement to show there is 'exclusive posters' inside, to capture the audiences attention; the use of the word exclusive will capture their attention and encourage them to buy the magazine. I have put black, bold borders around the 'posters' to make them stand out more to the audience and to show a clear difference between the main article image and the littler images. The language i have used throughout the front cover is kept very formal to attract the target audience; students and ABC1.
