New Final Products

These are my final products for my Pop Music Magazine; I have recreated what I had originally made last year whilst making changes and improvements throughout. I have made a magazine cover, contents page and double page spread and have also created an additional logo.

Pop Magazine Logo:

Pop Magazine Front Cover:

 I have made a cover for my pop magazine cover using PicMonkey. During the process of creating the cover I preferred a simple and clean layout that I had early on when making the cover. Because of this I have decided to create two versions of the cover; the first would be an in store cover that contains cover lines and retail information such as the price and the second is a subscriber  addition therefore it is a classier and more simple version of the retail cover.

Resubmitting Coursework

I have decided to resubmit my coursework from last year as I am not happy with my end result. I am going to be re-making each part of the magazine in order to improve what I had originally created.

POP Magazine Facebook Page- Feedback

I posted the pictures of my final magazine cover, contents page and double page spread to get feedback from a few people.

"The writing is clear and easy to see which will catch people's eye and invite them to read it. The model draw focus to teenage girls which I am assuming is your target audience. It look like a typical magazine and the picture is very good quality. Maybe add a patterned background instead of the block colour as it looks a bit plain. But other than that I think it's a really good cover." Amy Woodhams

"The bar code really makes the front cover for the magazine look realistic. It portrays a real life magazine and in addition the date and issue number add to this effect. The colour choices of pastel pink purple and soft greys really highlight your target audience which is clearly teenage girls. The model wears girly clothing and this draws attention to the fact it is aimed at teenage girls. The names articles on the side add to the fact it is a realistic magazine but also attracts the reader to the writing inside. The font adds to the typical teenage era and is clear and presentable. To improve I would say to add more colour to the backgrounds" Millie Johns

"I like the colour scheme because it fits in with the target audience, it is very clear that the magazine is for teenage girls from the pink colours and the models. The contents looks very professional and easy to see. I also like the contact us bit at the bottom as it makes it look more convincing." Amy Woodhams

"I think that the fact that you have used commonly used social network logos really draws the readers attention to this page and gives the magazine that realistic feel. The colours are matching those of the title page which shows consistency and also shows the teenage girl target audience you are aiming for. The language used for the magazine has a consistent 'pop' theme to link to the title of the magazine. The layout is nice and clearly displayed. The models indicate fashion is the main focus of this magazine as they all wear bright clothing which draws the attention to them. To improve I would keep the backgrounds of the models photos the same to make the page look even neater." Millie Johns

"I really like this, it looks very professional and the layout with the pictures is a lot like most magazines around at the moment. The photos look very professional too and the colour scheme is really pretty and inviting to the teenage audience." Amy Woodhams

"The top left corner shows the specific article in the magazine and the specific person the reader will be reading about. This is typically found in magazines and the fact that you have added this shows you have really gone to the highest extent to makeyour magazine realistic. The pictures are placed perfectly and the layout looks extremely professional. The fact the pages are numbered adds to the effect. The font, like on the title page is easy to read and clear. The colour is girly portraying your target audience and the pages are numbered in addition to all of this. Adding again to the realism of this magazine. To improve I would move the 'e' in the' Eden' title headline a little to the left to prevent the line from running through it." Millie Johns

From my feedback of my magazine I can see that I have used magazine conventions well as my magazine looks real and professional. I have used high quality photos throughout my magazine that show both the pop and fashion aspects of my magazine. The font I have used is suitable and easy to read. The colours, pictures and content is suitable for my target audience. I have been given a few improvements to help me in the future if I was going to do a project similar to this. Overall my feedback has shown me that I have created a professional magazine suitable for my music genre and target audience.
