The font used on the cover line is “script” they have chosen to use this font because this font ties in with Bring Me The Horizon’s Image and music genre. They have used this font because the publisher knows that the audience will know the band when seeing the font. Other types of fonts have been used in different areas on the front cover. They have also use a number of different stories and interviews with other bands in order to attract the target audience. Photography/Imagery: Several different images of different bands have been used on this front cover in order to try and attract the target audience, if the magazine company put interviews with different bands in the magazine this attracts a wider range, for example some people may not listen to Bring Me The Horizon but may listen to OM&M they can read this interview instead.

- 10. Colour schemes used within magazines Having a good colour scheme when producing a magazine is vital to make sure you attract your chosen target audience. Professional magazine company’s use a number of different bright, vibrant colours to attract there chosen target audience. I have researched several different magazines to show how this is done.
- 11. Evaluation of research After looking at all of the research I have gathered I can see a visual pattern with each magazine, they all have bright, vibrant colours used on the front pages and on the double page spreads. When I come to produce my product I will take away certain colour schemes as inspiration that have been used here, on a personal level I like the way that some of these front covers have been produced I think the colour schemes that have been used look very professional. I will also take away elements of the structure and layout of the magazines I have researched when I come to produce my product. Also after analysing all of the magazines I have gathered I have found that all of them are more or less laid out the same way in order to attract the target audience. If I had chance to conduct my research again I’d research a number of different styles of magazines, by doing this I would get a different view on a different structure and layout and see how they attract there target audience.
