Ideas for hooks, cover lines and button flashes

Depending on which article I decide to use for my double page spread, I will be using some of the hooks below.

"An interview with rock's next big thing" - This hook will be used if I choose to use my first idea for my double page spread, which will be an article about a new rock artist set to make a splash in to the music industry.

"Is it all over for Cobalt Puzzle?" - This is the hook that I will be using if I decide to use my second idea, in which I will produce an article on a controversial split of an individual from a rock band. The fact that the hook is a question, will make readers want to find out the answer, therefore they will need to read the article and will be urged to do so.

Ideas for cover lines

"How I am going to change the sound of rock" - This is a quote that I plan to use to in conjuction with my first idea. The line comes off as being quite arrogant & this has been done purposely so that the new artist will appear in an arrogant light. This should work well as people will want to read the article and find out what it is that is so special about that artist and why they are saying things such as that.

"Your soundtrack to the summer" - This cover line is about what my magazine feels are perfect tracks to be listening to in the upcoming summer season. It will cover new artists and also new material as well including information on summer tours, gigs etc.

"Exclusive interview with Muse" - This cover line will entice readers and fans of the band Muse to buy the magazine and read the interview. The fact that the word "Exclusive" is used makes it even more appealing as this suggests that exclusive information will be in the article.

Ideas for button flashes

Free poster inside - this will entice the audience as the will get a free poster of a popular rock band that they are likely to be a fan of.

Free CD - this will make my target audience feel as though they are getting something substantial back from the magazine and therefore they will feel appreciated.

Free headphones - these will be appealing to any young teenager as well as rock fans as the younger generation are known for lisuning to music a lot. What will make these headphones special is that they will have a special rock design to them e.g. the head phones having skulls on them etc.
