Going Gaga!


Remember we talked about persuasion in class and all the different ways humans try to persuade one another to do things? Well, we all agreed that magazine covers have one purpose in mind - make us buy the magazine! Experts are hired to make the covers as appealing as possible to their target audience.

I've scanned in a recent cover of 8 Days and identified one technique that made the cover more interesting and appealing - the use of a creative visual layout to communicate information clearly. Can you identify more features? Explain how the feature works to attract people as well. Best responses have a nice surprise in store!
