2. How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?

The front page will engage the audience mainly because of its unusual main image. Unlike other magazines, you cannot see the face of the girl at all, and more audience will be keen on flipping the page. The Masthead "MIXTAPE" is something that we don't often hear nowadays as CDs have replaced them, so again will attract more people. The sell lines which are all puns of movie quotes, famous rock song quotes etc. will not only attract music lovers, but movie lovers as well. 

The contents page will engage the audience because of its unique-ness. You don't often see contents pages with a brick wall background and a masthead repeating twice crossing over like a crossword. This and how the house style of my magazine and the brown colour match very well will engage the audience enough already. The fact that I've added an image of a very well known rock star, Sting also will entertain the buyers. It is full of information so people reading this won't get bored easily. 

The double page spread will engage the audience mainly because I've finally shown the girl's face that people have been wondering about after looking at the front page. People are finally allowed to see who Aggie Pop is, and what she's done. I've also added an image of her new album which will make the audience want to buy it, so again will draw attention.

How will I distribute it?

- By selling it in shops + supermarkets + book shops etc. I want many people both male and female to buy it so I would sell it in places people will go to frequently and expect to see a magazine. 

- Selling it online at our official mixtapemag.com website so it is easier for people to purchase without going anywhere. 

- Handing out the first edition of the magazine to let people know that it exists. In entrances of malls, on the streets, music shops etc.
