Flash button draws the reader into special things the magazine has to offer, which in my case is a competition.

Bright colours draws the reader’s attention to the magazine

Main cover line draws the reader in as it tells them a bit about what they will expect inside the magazine.

Other cover lines also draws the reader in as they tell the reader a little bit of information what’s inside the magazine.

I also used the rule of thirds when positioning my artist on the front of my magazine. I put the artist in the centre of the page to show dominance, The artist is also making direct eye contact so that it looks like he is looking at the reader and it draws you in.
