So in conclusion I've tried to appeal to my target group in a non stereotypical manner, addressing them as sophisticated young adults. I've done this visually, through the design of the magazine and furthermore though non patronizing content.  Also appealing to common interests of creative students, as well as their economic status.

Conventions of My Magazine Cover Vs. Dazed & Confused

Overall my magazine complies to most conventions of magazine covers, I did this to make it accessible to most people, although it is aimed at the specific audience of creative students. This is why I've made the cover fairly sophisticated and minimal. 

To do this I used a banner to separate the cover image from the text and masthead. This also made the text easier to read. D&C placed their text straight onto their cover image, which I find hard to read in some places (particularly in the last lines of the coverlines). The use of the banner would help my coverlines stand out when read from a distance.

How did you attract/address your audience?

I asked Shelly and Daniella a few questions on how they respond to my magazine cover and contents page.
