Research and Planning: Contents Page Progress

This is my contents page so far. I like the masterhead as I think the font fits well well this genre and how it is slanted. I also like the right hand coloumn as I think it looks really pop. The picture of Raine is really happy and cheesy and the placing of it I think looks really good.

On the big blank space I'm going to put a image of the cover page and maybe put arrows to different cover lines and show what page they are. I will also change the font of the bottom column to match the first one.

Research and Planning: Cover Page Progress

This is my cover page for my magazine so far. I like the colour scheme to it as I think it looks really pop and good to the genre.

I think that the pictures used are good for pop as the models look happy and are wearing clothing that are accurate to the genre.

I also like the "See our instagram" bit as I think thats the sort of thing that people who are reading my magazine would want to see.

To complete it I need to sort out the white outline of Paige and add one to Raine as well. I'm not sure whether I like it or not so I may take it all out completely.

I also think I need more cover lines but I just need to plan where I'm going to fit them in.

I also need to add pop artists names at the bottom.

Research and Planning: Pictures of Will for the magazine

I chose Will to be the main model for my magazine as I thought he would be good as I think that he looks quite pop and like he is a singer.

I asked him to wear his jacket as I thought as it could help make him look like a typical heartthrob as I had previously  seen pictures of Justin Bieber on a magazine that I got inspiration from.

The first three pictures were used in my double page spread. I chose them as I thought they had  the right amount of pop while still showing Will as a cheeky personality, that I learnt from my research as being what young girls look for in boys in pop magazines.

 I used this imagine for the main picture on my double page spread as I thought it looked extremely pop and would look good in contrast to the other three. I also like the way he is holding his jacket as it makes him look more laid back and shows that the photoshoot may have been fun. He also doesn't look serious which is what girls want to see instead of a picture where the person looks quite bored.

Research + Planning: Audience Feedback of Draft

This is the audience feedback of my magazine and how it's looking at the moment. From it I understood that the pop genre is clear which is good as it helps me keep making the magazine as I know the fonts i'm using are accurate. 

I also got feedback on the layout and how the use of pictures i'm using are good as it helps with the genre.

Differences I made from this and my cover page now is that some of the pictures were altered or moved to make the magazine look more fun and proffesional.
