Whilst making the first draft of my front cover I made sure that my magazine fit the conventions of the genre that my target audience had come to expect from country music magazines. This will help it appeal to the uses and gratifications theory of entertainment, information, social interaction and personal identity.  You also need to make sure that you think about the attention, interest, desire and action process to allow the audience to remain interested with the magazine. I think I did a good job at paying attention to these things in my first draft but some things I would like to improve include: including some form of interaction for the readers and giving them some kind of action to do.

In the future what I have learned will help me by helping me think about my work and make sure that I fit the specific requirements of my genre while also making it appeal to my audience and keep them engaged in the magazine.
