This is the final copy of my tv listings magazine front cover. I have used a lot of the conventions that appear in other t.v listings magazines, as well as making it original. For example:
- I used a blue background. This is because it is eye-catching but not too bright
- I used red for my title. This will catch the reader's attention, and makes the white 'TV' stand out
- I only used 3 characters for the main photograph. This is because more than three would have made the magazine cover look too 'busy'. The characters are also all from the same storyline
- I used yellow text with a pink outer glow for the strapline. This is because both of the colours contrast each other, and by putting them together it makes it stand out even more.
- I used bold text for the strapline and name of my soap. This is so that the reader can clearly see what the soap is called, and what might be happening in it.
- I've included the price twice. This is mainly for emphasis of how cheap it is, and just in case the readers don't see the first time I've mentioned it. I've also included one in a star shape for even further emphasis.
- I used a lot of primary colours so that the magazine is eye catching without being too bright
- I have included promotion of other programs. The target audience for these programs vary from children to teenagers to older adults. I have done this because I want the magazine to appeal to a large audience so that my soap promotion will reach a lot of people.
- I have included the logos of the programs I have advertised. This is so that the readers will know immediately what channels to watch
- I have included a barcode to emphasise the realism
- I have included the date and country, so that the readers know that the information that they are provided with is relevant and up to date
- I have included the website address, so that the readers can access further information if they wish
