first draft of the front cover

 

Mrs D

All your posts look detailed and you have made a really good start to the process. Make sure your mes of your images match the genre and most mag front covers use mid shots / medium close ups. Keep up the good work.

Genre Indicators

How can I tell my magazine is a pop magazine? • The title of my magazine = Pop talk • The artists I use on the front and within the magazine • Colour scheme is very girly = pinks and blues • I will include make up, beauty tips • Competitions relevant to the genre • My ‘artist’ who’s on the front will attract the female attention

Advertisers To Approach

Regular Ideas

I will be including in every magazine each fortnight a free download of a pop song which is in the charts at the moment, I will also have Exclusive competitions, interviews with celebs and various other atrists, exclusive pictures which have never been seen before, a problem page, in each mag whoever is on the front cover a lucky winner will get to come and meet them as we take the shoot of him or her.

Features Idea

My main feature will be with a new upcoming artsist called Sam Llyod, this will be his first interview ever with a magazine and he will talk about his personal life, what are his dreams and aspirations and his love for music. I will aslo feature competitons, beauty tips, make up, posters of various Artists.

Audeince Feedback From My Pitch

Audience Feedback From My Pitch

I did my pitch and told the class about what my ideas were for my magazine and the response I got was very positive but I did have to go back and think about a few things.

·        “Love the moodboard”

·        “I like the name of your magazine I think its clever”

·        “Your colour scheme fits well with your target audience”

·        “Maybe you should think about your target audience age as it is a big gap so maybe you should make the age a bit younger”

·        “The idea of having an exclusive interview is a good idea”

·        “You need to think how you are going to market you magazine and distribute it”
