Front page magazine cover

Draft front page

This is my draft front page and also my plan. This is how I want my front page to look like with similar colours shown on the page. Where the purple boxes are places that is where I want my pictures to go along with small taglines like shown in the draft. From looking at my draft front page I know exactly what to change and how I should make it better, for example the title will have to be changed in many ways such as the colour because its not eye catching as the yellow colour looks faded away and dull, another reason is the name it does not suit the main image as the model is not a girl but a teenager and the last thing with the title is the position. Changing all of these factors will ensure that the colour would be more eye catching and visible and it would fit all the age group appropriately. I am going to change the name of my magazine to `Pop chart' this is because the name has to be suitable for the age group and also the magazine.

From looking at this draft I can tell that the taglines look dull and not exciting at all this is why I will have more exciting stories taglines and also pictures of the hottest new boy bands which from my questioner I found that One Direction is more popular among teenagers.
The colour of the coverlines will also have to change into more exciting bold colours like the colours in my colour palette, this will make it easier for my target audience to  read and understand.

Photoshoot

Final image

This the final image that I have decided to use for my teen pop music magazine cover. This fits my genre of music very well as the costume, makeup, hair and lighting is done on a appropriate level and also the model herself is the right age group. As you can see the eye makeup on the model is very light smokey eye and also the hair is left natural with a bit of teasing to create extra volume, this has been done to show the natural young side    
rather than using heavy makeup and costumes if it was a different genre magazine for example rock. 

On top of this picture there will be different coloured texts and pictures but to not blend away the main image the eyes are in clear focus this is to attract the audience and will be made even brighter and edited with effects to enhance the image and the background colour will be changed into the colour palate of my choice to fit my genre of music magazine.

Creating the front cover

Title

Pop Girl

   -This is one of the possible name for my own pop magazine cover,  I think this would be a possible title as 

 its a catchy phrase and would be able to attract audience more effectively. The name `pop' would of course show the genre of the music magazine and `girl' would be the targeted audience.

Pop Chart

  - This would be a good name for my music magazine as it does not separate the girl and boys audience as not all the hole of my targeted audience is all girls. Th name pop again shows the genre of the music magazine.

Pop Heart 

  - This is the last possible name for my music magazine, I  have chosen this because of the the girly sound to it as it has pop `heart' word which you would probably find in a girls magazine for example 'We heart Pop'. 

Coverline

`Boy secrets'

  - This would be a good coverline for my magazine as it would attract the main targeted female audience.

`Gossips' 

  - This would interest all my male and female audience because and as it's catchy and they would want to read more about it. 

`Exclusive pictures of destination'

  - This would grasp the attention of my audience as it's not just a topic to read but to see pictures of a new popular band

Main coverline

`Change is better'

  -This coverline would make readers want to read more bout it as it would be placed right in front of a attractive picture of my model. 

`In my life'

  -This could be a main coverline for my own music magazine, it could interest the audience wanting to know more about a celebrities life style. 

Price

£1.00

- This price would be a good price for my targeted audience as they are all unemployed students, but to be fair for my own good of the magazine the price would have to go up to gain a certain amount of profit as well. 

£2.99 

- This is the original price for my researched teen magazine `Top of the Pops' This would be a suitable price as its not too high and not too low. 

Images

 This image could be suitable for my teen pop magazine because the  

 model is a young teen herself, but the picture does look very dark
 which could be a problem because teen pop stars are always 
 shown to be have the most flawless  bright young skin. The make up 
 on this picture also looks a bit dramatic in the eye area which may be     
 a problem because it would make young teenagers want to wear  
 heavy makeup. 

 This image is a good contrast of the all the important things needed for  
 teen pop magazine as it has a young attractive model who looks very  
 natural and the lighting is also a lot better but the most important thing 
 in this photograph is that the eyes are very in focus this is to attract the  
 audience. 

 This picture is could be a possible front cover for my magazine as it looks interactive but could may be a problem as the eyes are looking somewhere else and not catching the attention of the audience.

This is the last picture and is also my favorite because everything in this photograph is perfect for a teen magazine for example the light makeup, the natural hair, the young attractive model, lighting, clothing and also the eyes that are in focus, These factors would bring in the audience and would give my magazine a teen pop feel to it.
