The document discusses the creator's approach to designing a pop music magazine, including using elements from other magazines, developing elements in new ways, and challenging conventions. For the cover, the creator used a single artist rather than a boy band. For the contents page, they centered the image and used two columns for information. For the double-page spread, they featured a large image on one page and questions/answers in columns on the facing page. The creator aimed to both replicate conventions and put their own style on standard magazine elements.

1. POP MUSIC MAGAZINE;
USE, DEVELOP OR
CHALLENGE…
By Rebecca Whitehead

2. Front Cover; Use
Publication Line is in a
similar position.
The colour and box the main story is
in is the same. The colour fitted in
with my colour scheme
“free poster” section and barcode

3. Front Cover; Develop
I have used a single male artist
used rather than a boy band
based on my feedback
Used artists names rather than
their poster images

4. Front Cover; Challenge
The masthead – ones I have seen
don’t go all the way across the top of
the magazine cover.

5. Contents Page; Use
I have positioned the image in the
center on the contents page.
I have used two columns for information
about pages and stories, and used little
information to it makes the reader turn
to the page to read the article

6. Contents Page; Develop
Making the mast head go straight
across the contents page
Number of stories that are used
across the bottom of the contents
page

7. Contents Page; Challenge
I have used the image of front cover
on contents page so the audience can
see the cover lines and match them up
with the pages in regulars or features
I have used an image of the editor
on the editors note to make it more
personal, so the audience can relate
to the magazine.

8. Double Page Spread; Use
The use of one large image on
one of the pages is a main feature
in pop music magazines
Use of columns and the
different colours for the
questions and answers
I have also used a second
image of the model

9. Double Page Spread; Develop
Using different colours in the
title and also the length of the
title
The size of the title is smaller to
be able to fit it in the space I
wanted it to go

10. Double Page Spread; Challenge
Using the magazines LOGO in the
corner of the page
The use of a quote next to the
image of the model

 I have used a few things from other pop music magazines that I have looked at
during the making of my own pop music magazine.
 I have also developed a few things that I have seen on other magazines and gave it
a different style to be able to fit in more with my style and colour scheme
 I haven’t challenged many things from pop music magazines, although I have
challenged at least one item on each of my 3 pages.
