7. 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.
