Research Task 4 : How Does 'RnR' Magazine's Front Cover Appeal To Audiences?

 

This reseach task has taught me that RnR uses contrasts of colour frequently on their front covers to make them vibrant and appealing to the audience. It also serves to attract potential buyers from long distances away and, when surrounded by many other magazines on a news stand, makes them stand out to passers-by. 

The contrast of colours are also utilised by RnR to draw the audience's attention to specific page furniture, for example, the puffs promote the free CD that is attached which appeals to readers more because, compared to RnR's competitors, they are getting more for their money. RnR uses colour tactically to make the best parts of the magazine, which are designed to attract and appeal to readers, stand out.
