TITLE
I wanted the genre and the theme of the magazine to come across in the title, so that customers would be able to make an assumption of what the magazine would include before even opening it. As my magazine is based on 'pop' music with sidelines of art and fashion, i thought that putting the words 'pop' and 'art' together to make an already well known neologism would attract customers who are fans of music, fashion or both.
MISE-EN-SCENE
For my double page photoshoot, i took the photos on a vintage, covered sofa, with the model surrounded by rose petals in a backdrop of flowers and antique ornaments. This gives the images romantic and girly connotations, appealing to the female audience. Differing from the cover, the model also wears pink lipstick which again links in with the pink colour scheme of the magazine. The model is also wearing plain clothes which are classy and cover her up.
CONTENTS PAGE
After analysing previous magazine contents pages, i found all the necessary information to put on my own, and made sure i included all of this. My contents page includes the title of the magazine in the same font as on the cover, and this is on the top left as this is where the eye is drawn to first. The list of pages and page numbers are down the left, which is neat and clear and includes all necessary information for the reader. I have only put four pictures on this page but made them large so they are easy to see, and the reader can see that these are important parts of the magazine. These visual aids are used to draw the reader in. The page numbers are added to the photos for an easy guide through the magazine for the reader. I have written an editors note and put this at the bottom, as it is important but not the most important part. Similar to the signature on the cover, i have added a hand written signature to my note to make it more persoanl and seem hand written, directly for the reader.
MASTHEAD
As my audience is female, i chose to make the masthead a lipstick pink colour to connote femininity and girliness. Furthermore, this is a bright and bold colour which will stand out on the shop shelves and attract the customers eyes towards my magazine. The font i chose to use is a very bold, clear font which again helps the magazine to stand out amongst other magazines. As the words in this font are made up of little circles, my first thought was that it looks like the bright bulbs that surround a glamorous dressing room mirror, or are the type used when a movie stars name is 'up in lights', giving my magazine glamorous connotations and a seemingly high status.
