1. I used this swirly writing for my front cover because I thought
it looked slightly more sophisticated which is one of the
Front cover mock up! qualities that my target audience possess’. I also felt the name
of the magazine La Pop, made the magazine seem more
classy, therefore I felt the font would suit the name and feel
of the magazine.
I choose too box my sell lines to make them stand out more,
therefore grabbing the readers attention as, they will stand out
and catch the readers eye drawing them into buying the
magazine to find out more.
I used this costume on my model and front cover because I felt it
connoted the genre of pop and fitted in with the type of clothing
that a pop artist would wear. Its also very elegant but edgy at the
same time, which attracts the reader to the magazine as they liked
to see what the celebrities are wearing so they can too keep up with
their fashion.
Sapphire is written across the page diagonally as I felt it stood
out, I have also seen it positioned like this on current pop
magazines and wanted to use some typical conventions of pop
throughout my 3 pieces. Therefore it is easy for the readership to
see that my magazine is a pop magazine.
I felt that using a fashion section on my front cover would appeal to a
wider range of the readership. This is because my target audience is
very keen on fashion and new clothing. By also using a season, keeps
the reader up to date with what’s hot and what’s not each year round
so they are always able to get the latest trends. Making my pop
magazine seem more controversial and edgy.
The banner at the bottom of the page which includes posters and the
bar code is used because it was a good way to attract my target
audience to buying the magazine, as these are a type of freebie that
come with the magazine, that the readership is able to pull out and
stick on their wall’s etc.. Women also like to see topless men with
nice bodies as this gives of this type of sex appeal.

2. Front cover mock up colour! I used the red lips behind the masthead, as it
makes the name of my magazine stand out
more, it also carries on the symbiotic link, as
I use this lips imagery throughout my three
pieces.
Her hair has been clipped back out of her face, this is to
show her beauty and her fresh faced. What all of my
target audience aspire to look like, this young, fresh faced
and beautiful young woman.
I choose to have my writing underneath the sell line
black because, I did not want to use another colour and
make my front cover look too taking or too eye sore. I
felt that by using the black colour it would tone down
the magazine slightly making it edgy but also subtle at
the same time appealing to all of my target audience.
I used a balloon to carry on the symbiotic link
throughout my three pieces, it is also a pun to
the sell line which is “I just keep rising up” and
her pose shows her pushing the balloon down as
if the balloon is trying to rise up.
I used the colour blue for my sell lines because it is a bright
colour that is used a lot on pop magazines. It also stands out
against the yellow box that is around the lettering or against
the background on my front cover.
This star shape on the front cover, brings more
attention to the banner and the posters it includes to
draw the reader in. The use of this hot pink connotes
the pop genre, it is also a running colour theme
through my three pieces which carries a symbiotic
link. The black then makes the writing stand out.

3. This is a speech bubble with the worlds “Ooo La La”
inside of it, this is a type of pun as it links in with the
Contents page! name of the magazine which is “La Pop” is also adds a
sense of classiness to the magazine, which ties in with
my target audience personalities.
My model is posing laying down in the balloons, this is to
carry on a symbiotic link through my three pieces. The
colourful background of balloons also connotes the genre
of pop and again is a pun because balloons make the sound
pop when they are burst. She is also wearing a tight dress
to show of her amazing figure. The curly hair is a suggestion
towards her personality, as she is very quirky and fun.
I choose to use “What's popula” as my title for my
contents page as it is a play on words, and also links into
to the name of my magazine; it also suggests that in this
magazine the reader is able to get all the latest and
most popular gossip and music updates.
I have decided to use a strip that looks like a photograph
strip, because I felt it was a good idea and affect, and I have
placed pictures of all of the celebs that will feature in my
magazine.
The numbers on each page have been written in this nice swirly
font, this is to add to the classiness and the idea of ooo la la .
At the bottom of every page in my magazine there is a
status update, where we give our readers short and
snappy bits of information about celebs and their untold
secrets.

4. Here is a pull out quote from my artists interview in the
magazine, it also relates to the whole balloon theme as it
Contents page colour! says “no one can bust my bubble” as if she is a balloon and
she has worked hard to get to where she is and no one can
bust that or change her .
I choose to feature a editors letter, as it made my magazine
seem more professional, and in a lot of current pop music
magazines there are editors letters. This way the reader is
able to get an overview of what the whole magazine is
about and can get a feel of the magazine and its qualities.
This also makes the magazine more friendly for the TA as
its as if me the editor is talking to each one of the women
in my TA personally.
Here is all of my sell lines, these tell the reader what
new stories, interviews, gigs and gossip is going to be
included in this months issue of La Pop. Drawing the
reader into buying the magazine even more as they
want to read on and find out more about these celebs
and stories that are to be included in the magazine,
I have included an image of myself so my TA are able to see
who I am and what I look like, so they can put a face to the
name, again making the magazine more friendly.
This puff draws the reader into buying the magazine
because they like to see hot bodies of male celebs, the
bright yellow also makes it stand out so it grabs the
readers eye.
At the bottom of the page I have include the number
of the page so the reader can refer to it if they want to
go back to a certain page they can find it, also the e-
mail address in case they want to subscribe online.

5. The name of the article is
Double page spread mock up! here in bold! It is also a pull
out quote from the interview
between the editor and the
new up and coming artist
featured “Sapphire”.
I have chosen to write my
interview in columns to make it
look more like a professional
interview in a magazine. Giving
the editors questions and
Sapphires responses make it
seem more fun and interesting
rather than making it too text
heavy and making the reader
loose interest in the article.
Here I have added pull out
quote in puffs to make the
article seem more fun and
also to make sure these
points stick in the readers
mind. Also makes it less
text heavy.
Again I have used the same hot
bods idea as it attracts my TA as this
is what they like to see. The arrow
also dirrects them to turn to the
next page to see these images and
posters and if they don’t read on
On every other page or every page I use this status update I make sure that every page has a then they will miss out. Again this
because it attracts the reader and they want to know these page number and the e-,ail address bright yellow is used to draw
secrets about all of the different celebs. to draw them into signing up onling. attention to it.

6. Double page spread colour!
Sapphire, my new up and
coming artist has her name
above all of the images of her
and bold so the reader is able
to recognise her and know her
name so it stays in their minds.
Here are a lot of small feature
images of Sapphire, these all
carry on the imagery of
balloons and keep a symbiotic
link running through all three
of my pieces.
I have positioned my main
image directly in the middle
of the page so the reader is
instantly drawn to her. This
is also a good image for my
balloon imagery with all of
the balloons falling around
her.
Under some of the images there
are small captions to explain the
image or add a pun.
I have consistently used the colours, blue, pink, black These feature images help to draw attention to specific points in the article, it
and yellow through my three pieces to carry a symbiotic also helps to make the article less text heavy which is what you would usually
link, so there is a clear resemblance between the three. expect to see in a pop magazine a lot of images mixed in with the text.
