Production - Production Log

This week I have finished my first draft of my pop music magazine. I have created a front cover, contents page and double page spread which I feel mirrors the music genre of Pop well. I also feel it appeals to my target audience of young girls as the colour scheme is pink and white and the contents of my magazine is 'gossipy' and girly. I found it difficult editing my photos as it was time consuming and required a lot of patience. I decided against the lipstick background as all of our images have to be original. I also decided to add the apple music/itunes logo onto my double page spread as I feel apple music is a big part of the music 'charts' so it links well with my story of my magazines top 10 review.

Production - Magazine First Draft

I feel my front cover will appeal to my target audience of young girls as it is brightly coloured in pink and is busy and packed with stories on the front of gossip about pop music. I feel as though having an attractive female figure on the front will stand as a role model for young girls.

My contents page also appeals to young females as it follows the girly colour scheme of pink, however it is less cluttered than the front page. I included an editors letter as I feel as though they are a common part of teen pop magazines.
My double page spread appeals to young girls as it also mirrors the colour theme of pink. The content of the story also appeals as it is about pop music which is my chosen music genre.

Production - Production Log

This week I have started creating my contents page and editing the images I took in the studio by editing out the green screen. For my front cover I have decided to experiment with a lipstick mark background as it links in with the fashion element of pop magazines also it appeals to my target audience of young girls.

I also created my contents page and decided on a theme and layout which mirrored my front cover.

Also I began editing out the green screen of my double page spread and contents page images. Next week I intend to experiment with different backgrounds I can use. I also need to create a house style for my magazine.
