Front Cover Mock Up

This is a mock up of my front cover without the photograph. I will add a photograph into the space on my front cover. I have continued to use the same colour scheme as i stated in my planning, and i have used a variety of fonts on my front cover, aswell as my main font 'minipop'.

Price Of Magazine

I have decided to price my magazine at £1.50 as my target market is young girls. Young girls will not have a lot of money to spend on magazines as they will use pocket money, therefore i wanted to set a reasonable price. My magazine will have quite a lot of pages, therefore i didn't want to price it too cheap.

Mock Up Front Cover

This is the basic mock up of my front cover. I will continue to use this theme on both my contents page and double page spread.

Magazine Names

These are my ideas for the name of my magazine. I asked the other students in my class to choose which name they thought would be best for a pop music magazine and most people picked Cindy Pop. As my target market is girls aged around 11 - 15 years old, i think that the name is suitable.

Magazine Layout Idea Plan 1

This is the first draft of my magazine front cover layout. I have included the main features:pug, masthead, photograph and splash.

Colour Schemes

I used a colour schemes website in order to find out which colours i wanted to use for my magazine. I plan to use a red/pink colour scheme as my magazine's target audience/market is young girls as it is a pop magazine.

Pop Music Magazine Font Ideas

These are the fonts that will fit in with the pop theme of my music magazine. I asked the students in my class to choose the font that they thought would be the most effective for a pop music magazine. 6 of the 11 students in my class said that 'minipop' was their favourite. 2 said that 'poprock was their favourite. 2 said that 'cutiepop' was their favourite. 1 student said that '60's pop' was their favourite. Therefore, i will use the font 'minipop' for my magazine cover.
