My finished Magazine Cover.

This is my finished Magazine Cover, i took inspiration from other Pop magazines whilst designing and creating my own magazine. Other Pop magazines like 'Top Of The Pops' or 'Pop magazine'. My magazine is very vibrant and funky. I used the same house style throughout the magazine which consists of the colors Yellow,Pink and Blue. I chose these colors as they are very youthful and fit the theme amazingly.

Acting on feedback from my target audience.

After talking to members of my target audience, they didn't like the title of my magazine.They thought it looked too much and didn't look very 'POP'. Acting on this, i found a new font to replace my old title with and asked members of my target audience if they preferred it to the old title and they said yes.

Adding shapes onto my images

To make my magazine fit the pop theme more, i added some animated shapes onto them. I think this gives a funky vibe and makes the images more fun.

Editing one of my contents page images.

Some of my images were too dark to use on my contents page. To edit this i used the adjustment tool 'Brightness and Contrast' and i raised the brightness. This is the before and after of one of my images.

Before and After:


Contents page images

I used four images on my contents page of different models that are featured in the magazine. I applied a white box behind all images to give a Polaroid effect to them which i thought looked good. I also later applied some pop art like shapes such as a animated crown. These are the original images used on my contents page which i later edited.

Contents page style

When designing my contents page, i wanted to use my house style colors i used for my cover. I looked at a few Pop magazines and got some ideas, one magazine was the Top of the Pops contents page. I loved the full page and the messy vibrant look. I decided to use the some of the contents headings and the way the contents was organised.


Changing my Magazine title.

I decided i wanted to change my Title 'POP' on my front cover to make it more dramatic and eye catching so i duplicated the layer and changed the color of the drop shadow to a lighter color.

choosing my front cover image

choosing my front cover photo

Choosing my front cover main image was time consuming this is because I found faults with all of the images I took the previous day. I wanted a image of Chanel and Chad on my front cover, however, all but four images had faults. When I finally chose out of the four images, I had to edit my main image using the colour picker tool and the colour replacement tool. Using these tools I replaced the green cast on Chads grey jumper by recoloring the full jumper a lighter grey. This worked well as Chads jumper was originally a dark charcoal colour as you would've seen on my previous post. I thought the lighter grey fitted my POP genre as the colour was lighter. The two other images which I could've used didn't work as well because they almost looked forced and I wanted the imagine to look as natural and real as possible.

Choosing my title colour

I chose a new title font from 1001 fonts. I played around with the colour and chose between two bright colours.


 






My colour theme is very vibrant and bright which fits in with the pop theme. My target audience is age 12-17 females. This colour scheme fits with my target audience because young teenage girls are associated with pink and purple and other girly colours. I chose the purple title as it looked better used with the blue and yellow and looked more visually appealing.

What products may be associated with my target audience

My target audience is females age 10-15 and these are some of the products that may be associated with them. By researching this and finding out what products my target audience are associated with, gives me an idea of what products to feature in my magazine to intrigue my audience.

 









Replacing the green glare

I changed the colour of the jumper to get rid of the green glare as it was very noticeable. I used the colour picker tool to choose the colour grey then I used the colour replacement tool to replace the green glare.
