- 7. Analysis of resultsMy responders have shown that by
following the layout ofCountry Weekly as they have explained that
it looksinteresting. I also find that by following this magazine
frontcover the colours will stand out and also the text is
writtenon the sides of the image.Also the artist on the cover of my
magazine is vital as that iswhat mainly appeals to the audience,
this is because they willbe interested in reading about the artists
that they know andthat look beautiful. Meaning that my cover artist
will bebeautiful and in a casual country costume like George
Straiton the cover of Country Weekly, this is so that it
representsthe nature of country music.
