Front page - How it meets the audience needs and how I designed it

My front page meets the audience needs as all the text differs and looks interesting. Also the use of different colours to create more emphasis on different parts of text so they stand out. Further more, the choice of sticking to red, white and black colours, which all stand out on which ever one is the background at the time. The information meets the audience' needs as the puffs are clearly understandable and entice the audience to want to buy the magazine and read the articles which are advertised on the front cover. The main image also meets the audience' needs as the poses the models are doing are more directed to females as of the fashion, make up etc. Also by having one of the models using direct eye contact with the audience, it makes it more likely for it to draw the audiences attention to read the font cover. By using different selection of text font, colour and size makes it a lot more interesting to look at meaning that it's more likely to be read. Also making the issue number, date and price big enough for the audience to clearly find and understand as this needs to be seen to inform the audience about this information. 

I designed it by taking the front cover image and placing the masthead over the top as it shows that the models in the image are a big part of the magazine. I made sure not to cover the faces of the models. I kept the puffs to each side of the image and placed a pull quote from the main article inside the magazine nearer the centre as it's the main part of information. More over, i choose the most interesting pull quote from the article, as it would make the audience want to read about what the quote is about, proving it must be important if it's the biggest puff on the page. I also placed some of the text into a box, to make it different to every other bit of text that is just placed simply onto the page. In the box i then again changed the font throughout the piece of text. I choose to make the main part bigger and more eye catching, that part being 'same love'. Also by keeping the same house style throughout, keeping it looking professional and organised, as it wouldn't appeal to people if the page looked too busy and messy so it wasn't understandable.
