Direct Address: Most front covers have the model looking directly into the camera, such as this Vogue cover featuring Beyonce. This attracts the audience by making them feel like the cover star is looking directly at them, therefore the magazine is aimed directly at them. I have used this on my cover, although my cover model is facing a sideways angle to the camera, she is still looking directly at the camera, making the cover seem personal to the reader.

| On my double page spread i have used a pull quote just under the stars name. I have placed it close to the name so that i dont have to refer to her after the quote, and that people know it was her who has said this. This attracts the audience because of the use of name dropping, the readers may recognise who Katherine Jenkins is, and want to read on. There is a high chance that the readers of this article will know who Katherine Jenkins is as she is of the same music genre as my cover star, so readers will be interested in both singers. I have put Katherine Jenkins' name in a bright pink colour to stand out and grab the readers attention. |

I believe the unique selling point of my magazine is the signature of the cover star underneath the picture. This is a personal touch and makes the reader believe that the star has signed the magazine just for them. Furthermore, it shows the stars involvement and that she hasn't just answered some impersonal questions over the phone for example, making the interview even more exclusive and appealing to the reader. Autographs are a popular thing when meeting a 'celebrity', so by adding an autograph to the front of the magazine, it may make the reader believe that they are getting something more, something exclusive for their money.
