In my Education Quarterly magazine article I tried to depict myself as a very educated and intelligent person. I used bright colors to grab the attention of the reader and also used a picture of myself that would show off my education. I felt that if I used a graduation picture I could look more like and "expert" and use this as my persuasion technique. My cover and sell lines are used to make the reader want to read into the stories in the magazine. "Make your classroom classroom Tech Savvy in 5 simple steps!" would be my cover line. This is what I hope grabs the readers attention in order to read more into the story. Since I'm aiming my audience towards teachers, I feel like this could really help sell the magazine. I used alliteration, "Tips and Tricks for an Elementary Teacher" and also used rhymes, "ABC it's easy as 123." This cover is meant to attract the eye and the mind to dig deeper into the articles found inside.
I love your magazine cover. You obviously spent a lot of time in designing it, and the alliteration and catchy phrases are great. The sunny yellow of your cover is good because it says you are a warm person that the reader would want to get to know. The cover makes me feel as though you would know what you are talking about, but would also be relatable because you are young and around my age. You chose a picture where you are smiling and looking like you want to get to know the audience, which is great. I think the message you are sending about teachers is that they are smart, educated, and kind. I also think your use of well-known phrases and exclamations make this a sunny way to introduce "teaching outside the box." I think that phrase itself shows what you hope to send a message about 21st century teaching.
