Drafts

First Draft:

This is my first draft i have added the mast head, tagline, date and price. Now I will focus on background colour maybe to change it make it more christmas themed. Also i will add cover-lines and my main image. Changes i may possibly make to what i have done now is adding snow flakes to make it more christmas themed.

My second draft i decided to add snow flakes and a plug and puff to start the contents of my magazine. I used the snowflakes to make my magazine have a christmas feel to it. Next lesson I will begin to add the contents of my front cover by adding cover lines.

This week i added cover lines and a barcode to the left hand side of my magazine following the traditional conventions of a magazine front cover. Next lesson i will be incorporating my main image.

This lesson i basically finished my magazine front cover it changed drastically from my original plan. I done this to aim better to audience and to fit the colour scheme of the colours my model is wearing. I now use a lot of bright colours such as orange and pink to appeal to the girly teenage audience i want to appeal to. My model is positioned centrally which goes against general conventions of a magazine as the model is generally placed to the right however with my image it works best being placed centrally. My model is mid laughing which is effective for my magazine as it may give the impression my magazine is fun and bubbly. Ive also added a picture of my own photography of shoes to add another picture to my front cover, i used this picture because most pop magazines aimed at girls add pictures of make up and clothing to their front cover as its what target audience like. Overall i am happy with my front cover however i will improve certain things to make it look more professional.

My contents page follows the general conventions of a pop magazine contents page. It follows the same colour scheme as my front cover, includes what will be in my magazine and highlights pages of importance to look at. It is not yet finished as i would like to add some photography of clothing to make it more realistic and to fill up more space to make it look packed with information and stuff teenage girls want.

My next draft of my contents page features more original images of shoes and various fashion items teenage girls would be interested in.

My final draft uses a lot of black outlining to really define certain things such as my title i chose to do this because it makes my title stand out more for the reader and audience.

My first double page spread draft includes all the content i chose to write about as well as a pink title of which i just about had time to fit in. I chose my story because it is insightful into Whitney's music and image, it would help boost her career and is the positive lighthearted story my target audience would be interested in reading about.

My second double page spread draft includes more colour and a photo accompanied by a quote. I chose to use the colours of pink and blues because they are stereotypically seen as a teenage girls favourite colour. In addition to this they are colours used through out my magazine contents and front cover. I chose to add a personal funny photo and a quote because it makes my story seem more down to earth and funny, as it comments on the average girly thing to do 'take a selfie'. This is effective because it will appeal to my target audience because they will be able to associate with this and take a chance to read over the story.
