A Front Cover Analysed – Attracting ‘That’ Audience

Here we have a cover of billboard magazine with Alicia Keys. Next to it I have annotated some of the key features to analyse and research what kind of people would be interested in this magazine. This was in order to get a better understanding of audience demographics and psychographics and what technical design conventions can suggest about the target audience. For example I came to the conclusion that the primary demographic of billboard magazine were women in their 20’s. In future I will think about how to research my audience when creating my music magazines cover in order to get a better understanding of who they are and what they are interested in.
