I chose these questions because i want the questions to be quite unique and not boring questions, i wanted them to be something that the readers would want to know about their favorite artists, things they didn't already know..

pop magazine (Fresh) 5 line paragraph.

'Fresh' is a monthly magazine you don't want to miss out on! 'Fresh is aimed at the nesh market of 14-17 year olds that love pop music, it has a constant house style and is loyal to it's readers keeping them updated with upcoming gigs and tours, celeb gossip and interesting articles including questions and answers about all your favorite artists and bands. 'Fresh' is unique, it's not like most typical pop magazines, it has class and isn't tacky, although the name may sound like a typical pop magazine whats inside isn't. We aim to please our readers by including a wide range of artists, older established artists as well as local and current ones, and it doesn't stop there we have many competitions that will interest our readers and free posters inside. Once you buy one copy of 'fresh'  you won't be able to stop.

Pop magazine double page spread photo shoot ideas.

i chose these two pictures as possible double page spread photo shoots because the article is going to be a question and answer so the pictures look like they have been taken when she was answering the questions, the model looks like she is having lots of fun again and is smiling a lot.

pop magazine, contents page possible picture.

Again like the front cover i want the images on the contents page to also be fun, all the models on this picture are smiling and looking like they're close and having fun, they look like good friends as well as a band. This could equally be a picture that i could use in my double page spread too.

Pop magazine front cover photo shoot ideas.

Pop magazine front cover photo shoot ideas.

For my pop magazine i want the model to look like she was having lots of fun because thats how i want my magazine to be portrayed, 'fun and fall of energy' i took pictures of my model doing pop like poses such as spinning, blowing and kiss, hand on hip etc, the pictures are mainly medium close ups with a few that showing slightly more such as maybe a bit of the models legs (below the waist).

Pop magazine name and masthead.

<-- old b masthead.

New masthead--> i chose to change my masthead because i didn't think the above looked good on my front page, contents or double page spread, i personally thought the writing was too rounded and didn't fit it as i hoped it would, so i decided to change it. I changed the name to fresh because i though it looked good on my front page etc and because the writing is more square it fitted in a lot better, i also chose to have my magazine because i though fresh could be a way of saying the magazine is current (fresh music) music that has just come out.. i thought it would be a word that my target audience may either use or can relate too, whereas it wouldn't be suitable for a magazine aimed at an older audience. I kept the glitter and sparkle to make the genre a bit more obvious but not tacky, i also think that the sparkly bits make the title stand out as well as the use of capitals..

Pop magazine name ideas.

i made a mind map of possible ideas of what to call my pop magazine and then i decided to use 'candy' because i think it sounds like a pop magazine . 

Pop magazine double page spread flat plan.

Pop magazine contents page flat plan

Pop magazine front flat plan.

This is how i roughly want the front page of my pop magazine to be laid out, i am sticky to my masthead being in mainly the left third, it may go over slightly and the picture will be cenre of the page so that it's the first thing you noice because it's going to be the main article but a different picture to the article and i want the tagline to be at the top of the page in a colour that matches the house style and picture. 

pop magazine mood board.

my pop mood board. I chose pictures that i thought were associated with the word pop such as the lips and a candy bracelet etc then i got some aritsts which do pop type music  however i chose to say away from typical  artists and with an exception on rihanna and little mix because i want my magazine to be different to most pop magazines, i want it to have artists that aren't generally on pop magazines but are considered pop such as Lana del rey although she fits into other categories as well. I want my magazine to be classy compared to most pop magazine that are aimed at the younger generations such as 13 year olds, i want it to be for much older teens because they listen to this type of music and i don't think a tacky pop magazine would be suitable for my  age range.
