Development of double page spread.


The double page spread once again has the consistent house style colours running through, I have also used the same font styles aswell to help group together the house style of the magazine as a hole. This double page spread has been influenced by exsisting spreads in music magazines I found these ideas and have created them into my own by adjusting some aspects as I feel they made the double page spread look much more professional and unique.

Development of contents page.


Here is im initial submission of my contents page. It follows the same house style as my front cover therefore it is very consistant. I have gained many aspiring ideas from previous exsisting contents pages, for example the top banner 'Inside this issue'. I got this similar idea from a well known pop magazine 'Top Of The Pops' as I feel it really draws attention into the page, it also makes it more interesting as it does not state 'Contents' as it has a unique twist to the main masthead.

Development of front cover.


Here is my development of my front cover for my magazine. As you can see I have gone with the house style colours; baby blue, baby pink and black. I have used my initial ideas from my final front cover draft therefore the layout of the cover is the exact same. I have gained many ideas from looking back at my research as it has all helped me gain an understanding of what a front cover should look like for my chosen genre in this case the pop genre.

Name Ideas.

 

Genre.

The genre that my magazine is aimed around is the pop genre this therefore reflects on the target audience. As this specific magazine is based around the genre pop this therefore leads the iconography to be very precise as it would be shown through the style of the artists either through there clothing, music videos and song lyrics. I will make sure that the genre is clearly represented as if I was to show another genre in my magazine it would present it to be very missleading, for example if I was to have an article on a rapper which fits with the genre rap this is inappropriate for my genre as it does not fit therefore I will make sure that I include all elements to do with the pop genre being correct articles, images and housestyle.

The institution that my magazine belongs to is POP, this genre is very mainstream there are many famous artists that pop music focuses on, for example Kylie Minogue is a unique icon to the pop industry as she has been around for many years she has now grown to be an idol to the target audience. The way Kylie has been represented through the media either it being through music magazines or her music videos, the audience has developed a bond towards her wanting to be her friend as such, so therefore the audience tends to buy music magazines to follow the life of the famous artist that they look up to.

Below are some images of Kylie, they show how she fits in with the genre POP.
