A Front Cover Analysed.

The music magazine ‘MOJO’ has a specificied target audience and the cover of the magazine cleverly appeals to it through the use of font, colour palette, images and language which I have analysed above. I researched the demographic information which reveals that the majority of people interested in this magazine are males aged around 40-54 and are Western European.

As well as this, I researched the audiences psychographic information which resulted in many of the readers being individualists and reformers who are grasping onto their youth and still have a young soul. Knowing this, it gives the magazine insights into creating suitably appealing content for it’s viewers, therefore getting most sales for the magazine.

Completing this task made me realise how important your target audience is and how it has a great impact on the work you create as ultimately, these are the people who are giving up their time to view or buy your work. Therefore supplementing their desires in terms of font, colour, images and language is key to success. When creating my own music magazine cover, my target audience will be one of the first things to think about and my choices in design and content will revolve around what is suitable, fulfilling their interests an what will attract them.
