I appreciate that this isn’t going to be marked but for the purposes of presentation I have chosen to include adverts in my magazine. When my magazine is finished, it will be presented via the Flipsnack platform. So that this works better, I have collected some images that country fans might respond to and that will go well in the magazine. I think that a music advert will work well on the back page and another on the very first page before my contents page.

Doing this has helped me to understand y audience better and research what they will respond to.  For a music advert, I will use either of the Taylor Swift promotions or the Carrie Underwood one as these are both female country legends which are perfect for my feminine issue of the magazine as well as country for the audience.

For the product advert, I thought denim, cowboy hats, boots, equine-related things, outdoor adventure to appeal to my audience. A lot of these ideas are from my research done on YouGov that explores what Dolly Parton fans also enjoy and engage with.

When searching for these my options were slightly limited as it must be A4 and have a high resolution to keep up quality imagery in the magazine.

 

I think that for my music magazine I will use the Taylor Swift album promotion at the back because it will appeal to the audience as Taylor is a well known female country star, especially this particular album.

For the first page, I will use the Levi’s advert because I think that it’s eyecatching, memorable and that my audience will respond to it as country stereotypes dictate that fans of the genre wear denim.
