Proposal 1• The title of my magazine will be ‘Sound of Pop!’• I will use this font for the Masthead:• The house style of my magazine will consist of the colours: Red

(to signify excitement, energy and love), Pink (to signify love, romance and excitement), Yellow (to represent Joy, happiness, optimism, imagination and hope), Blue (to signify peace, stability, trust and loyalty), Purple (to signify wisdom and enlightenment), Orange (to signify energy, balance, enthusiasm and warmth), White (to signify purity, simplicity, peace, youth, good) and Black (to signify Power, elegance, style and innocence). .

• Most of the colours on my magazine will be bright (especially the front cover) but I will have some pastel shades in the magazine as well so there is more variety and utopian colours.

Proposal 2• The title of my magazine will be The Life Of Pop!• The font this will be presented in is:

• The house style of my magazine will consist of the colours: Red, light blue, light green, light purple and lilac, light pink and light yellow.

• My magazine will be a monthly prescription to get readers waiting for the next issue and to allow for more time to prepare the magazine.

• Most of the colours in my magazine will be light and pastel colours, but will have a few bright colours (mainly on the front page) for puffs and maybe the back ground of the masthead so it will stand out and look interesting.

Summary

• ‘The Sound of Pop!’ is my chosen title and the image above is my chosen font with my title I plan to use as well.

• My magazine will be classed as a new product launch, but after a couple of issues (maybe four or five months) it will hopefully be a market leader.

• ‘Top of the Pops’ (my magazine of inspiration) and ‘We <3 Pop’ will probably be the main competitors as those magazines have been around for longer, so they will have gained more experience of magazine publishing and knowing what kind of things that audience favour. Since they have been around for longer, they will also be more popular as less people by magazine now because it is all on the internet, where as people used to have to by a magazine if they wanted one as you couldn’t get magazines online then.

• My target audience will be young (12+) female aspirers (psychographics) in the ‘E’ group (demographics) who’re caregivers (Maslow) and either build a personal relationship with certain pop stars or bands or inform & educate to learn something new by consuming the magazine (Katz’ uses and gratifications). Because they’re in the ‘E’ group, the readers won’t have much money to spend (only pocket money), so a suitable price for my magazine would probably be £1.99, as typically they will also need money to buy sweets, hair bands and lipglosses etc..

This picture denotes the name of the person company who took a specific photo on a page. I will use this so that I’m not stealing anyone else’s work.

At the bottom of this double page spread (DPS) of Ariana Grande, it gives the reader information on when her newest single is out, her new album that is out now, her website and the radio channel, which says “Listen to The Official Chart, Sundays, 4-7pm, Radio 1”. I will use this for my magazine so that reader’s can get the latest information about their favourite stars or bands.

On the top of each page, the section of the magazine has been named, so it’s easier for the readers to navigate around the magazine.

This is a picture of the page no. located at the bottom of every page. I will also use this for my magazine so that the readers can say what information is on what page. Its also easier to pick up where you left off by having page numbers. And it looks best when they’re at the bottom of the page in the middle.

Test photography

• I could have used the photo on the left for my front cover main image but Harrison and Lizzie’s eyes are closed, so I cant use this photo. I like the photo on the right, but I think the photo would look better if everyone in the photo was looking at the camera.

Test photography

• The photo on the left I really like because it has fun poses which are interesting for the reader to look at and we also can see each of their individual personalities too, so I think I will use this photo for my double page spread. The photo on the right I will use for my front cover because it is fun, friendly and everyone in the photo is looking at the camera.

Test photography

• Overall I have concluded that the band for my main image on my front cover should be an all boy band as Top of the Pops magazine has used an all boy band, so the previous group could be another group who go in the corner of my magazine. The photo displayed on the left will be the new boy band image for my front cover as it is a happy decent and bright photo. The photo on the right will be used for my double page spread as it more fun, enjoyable and shows the different instruments that the boys play in their band which shows their different personalities (because of the fun pose as well).
