Audience feedback for cover lines

As we are getting closer to making our own music magazine, I thought it would be a good idea to get audience feedback on some cover lines for the front cover in which I made up. As I hadn't had any experience before in magazines, I decided to research to find out what would normally go on the front page of a music magazine. After this I asked 20 people in total to pick a cover line in which they liked most and what would look better on a front cover of a magazine. This was the result:



I based my decision of what I wanted to appear on my front cover with the amount of votes that each feature got. With this on mind, I decided to choose numbers 4,5,7,8 and 9. Although other features got some votes, I went with the numbers that had the most votes. From doing this task, I have learnt that consumers who would purchase a music magazine want to see features that stand out. This includes using the word "Exclusive" and "Embarks on world tour," for example. I now know that cover lines are a big part of magazines in general as it contributes to making a sale. I will remember this when coming to make my front cover of the magazine so that it will look realistic.
