Cover lines

My target audience opinion is to include not too many cover lines, 70% of my target audience said they prefer less cover lines and 30% said to include many cover lines.
To know how much is many or few I will first research the average amount of cover lines.

Pop magazines:

                                                                      

 Rock magazines:

 Mean:

From this I know the mean pop magazine and rock magazine together is 5 cover lines, giving me the maximum of having five cover lines for my pop rock magazine as my target audience prefer less than more.

1- I consider that one of them will have to be about my double spread sheet band Princeton.

2- From my questionnaire where I asked 'What articles do you think the magazine should include'.

This can help me to have the ideal cover line, which both genders and my chosen age group would like. They mostly voted for an article about concert information, songs and lyrics, history of the band, posters and lastly fashion article.

From section number 1 the most enthusiastic question would be ' Things you didn't know about Princeton' to develop this cover line I will include a number of amount of things to be more specific;

'10 Things you didn't know about Princeton'. This would attract all of the target audience, those who have no idea who they are and want to know what is contemporary and those that are huge fans and think now everything about them.

Section 2 - 'Where is the Rock around the world'  was the chosen cover line as it can link to a rock song 'We will rock you'. Develop I would have to link to pop as well as rock; ' We will poprock you!',

' Where to get pop rocked'.

Section 3- '10 must have tracks' Was the cover line which I thought it has most expectations of caching peoples attention. Sounds quick and easy to look at, no time wasted. 

Section 4- 'Giant free posters' Who doesn't like free stuff! I will certainly keep the 'FREE' word and probably in capital letters.

Section 5- 'The rock star style' Because it links to my rock genre and at the same time a rock star can also be referred to any singer including pop singers. Referring the cover line to music does not scare men as much of buying a magazine with fashion ideas.
