Research into similar products: my own We Love Pop Magazine


As I mentioned in the previous post I really wanted to have a go at making something very similar to the 'We love POP' magazine because I felt it differed from the 'Top of the Pop's slightly. I noticed that this magazine always included a fashion advertisement on the front cover, where as Top of the Pops haven't. therefore i included a small fashion section in the corner. I have also included the masthead which was always slightly slanted on each magazine. The masthead is covering my original photography slightly however it's very bold and clear which is important because therefore it stands out much more. The main colour focus was purple because of the masthead i have picked. When everything is matching it all looks very neat. I have also decided to make some of the coverlines, including the date and price in yellow. This is because the dress which i have picked stood out from the rest and i felt that making some other coverlines the same colour as the dress would make it much more interesting. I also got rid of the background because all of the magazines i have looked at, had a plain background. The white background works really well with any dark colour therefore everything looks good together. the original photography which i have used maybe could have been better as the flash covers the features of Fran's face however i thought it was pretty because it really outlined her eyes. Fran is looking straight at the camera therefore it's direct address to the audience making it appeal to them in particular. By using a teenage girl could indicate to readers that is mainly targeted at teenage females. Fran is smiling which makes the audience feel welcomed into the magazine. i have decided to use very popular artists on the front of my magazine because that always grabs attention. Especially using Justin Bieber on the front because he is a teenage pop sensation.
