The front cover of my magazine conforms the conventions of most pop magazines' designs. I designed this based on the images of Top of the Pops magazine. The layout is similar and i have done this because it has a very clear but fun layout. I have used different shapes of text box and fonts to attract the readers. The colours on the front cover are going to be bright and vibrant to appeal to the target audience. The main focused colours will be pink and yellow, this is because the magazine is mainly appealing to young girls.
The contents page also conforms the conventions of pop magazines. The
design is similar, it includes photos of what is going to be in the magazine and an editor's letter. Light and dramatic colours are going to be used again as this will express the genre of the magazine throughout. The same font is going to be used for the title so it remains consistent and people don't get confused with lots of different fonts. I have used stars as bullet points because this keeps in the theme of 'stars' and 'celebrities'.
The layout of my double page spread doesn't conform as much to the conventions of other pop magazines. I have chosen to do an interview as the main focus on the pages but then have a third of the page taken up with a shocking gossip story. I have done this so that people will want to read on about the story after they have read the interview. The pages have an equal amount of images and text so that the readers aren't distracted by more of one than the other. Each picture is related to the interview and includes the band and individual photos of each of them. The gutter on the double page spread i
s fairly wide as i wanted to be able to differentiate the two pages clearly and space each of the sections of the design grid out. I think these pages really appeal to my target audience because there isn't too much text that the young audience will be put off by and the images will grab their attention and young girls can be inspired by what the band look like and what they talk about.
