Photographs

Some of the photographs I have taken:

google mock ups

This is my favourite mock up design and is the one i'm going to base my actual magazine on, this is because I think that it looks the most visually attractive, and it looks like the one I, personally, would be most likely to purchase myself. Although i have used the same colour schemes throughout them all i think that the colours look best in this order and the content is the best.

Masthead Design Ideas

I created a few masthead designs but ruled them all out for being either too plain or thinking they wouldn't stand out well enough on the photographs. So i decided to create another masthead idea.

This was the masthead I designed last, I had to think about the colours being bright so that it would appeal to a pop magazine but it also needing to stand out, I really like the outcome.

The Name Of My Magazine.

Out of all of my ideas I decided to use POP as my magazine name, I decided to use this because its short, snappy and to the point. Everyone could really easily tell what the magazine is about whereas if i used the name Glam buyers may think that its about fashion.

The Price Of My Magazine

I have decided to price my monthly pop magazine at £3.50 a month, I have priced it at this as the audience are mainly younger which means they will not be able to afford it if it was any more expensive. However this does mean that I have had to ignore the amount people said they would be willing to pay for the magazine - on the survey on survey monkey - as what people said they would pay was too low and I wouldn't be able to actually afford to produce it selling it at that price. I am going to price it £1 cheaper for the first magazine, as it is the opening one, to encourage people to buy it.

Magazine audience and research data.

I have created a survey about pop music using the website Survey Monkey as research for my magazine, to get the survey out I posted the link ( https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/D5QDR85) to some social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter asking POP music fans to carry it out.

From doing this survey I found out that the majority of my audience are females aged around 13-16 who are students at school or college. I gave a list of POP artists and bands and i asked which one they preferred and the most people who took the survey liked the bands particularly 5 seconds of summer. I found out that most of my audience listen to music through MP3 downloads, this means that I should probably include a free music download in my magazine however most of my audience would rather have a free CD with their magazine rather than make up or a cute pen and notebook. I also found out that ....50% of the people who took my survey said that they sometimes read about music online so I should probably include a website so that I could include somewhere that my audience can read about music online.
