2. Pictures: I used seventeen magazine to help me with my magazine.
Firstly the pictures
used on the ‘seventeen’ magazine cover gave me inspiration of where to
position my pictures also. I’ve noticed that on many pop magazines the
pictures are positioned in a similar way. This makes the pictures stand
out as they are all positioned together.
Font: The font on the ‘seventeen’ magazine are all different fonts so I
used that as inspiration for my magazine. I’ve also seen this being used

3. My magazine. Music Magazine.
Background- I used ‘We Love Pop’ magazine contents to help me
with mine. My background on my contents was looking plain and I
wasn’t sure what to do with it, and I really liked the look on this so
I thought I would use a similar design on mine too.
Header- I used a similar header as the ‘We Love Pop’ magazine
contents. This makes it easier to inform my reader of what they are
reading.
Pictures- The ‘We Love Pop’ magazine also inspired me with the
positions of my pictures and page numbers on my contents. I like
4. Quote-The quote on the ‘We Love Pop’ magazine gave me
inspiration to use one on my contents page too. I liked the idea of
it giving an insight into the interview and making the read want to
read the interview.
Layout- I took inspiration from the ‘We Love Pop’ magazine to
make the questions and answers in a different colour to make it
stand out more and so it is easier to indicate which is the question
and which one was the answer.

6. Name- The name of the artist on my magazine is bigger than the
name of the artist on the ‘seventeen’ magazine. I think this is
important as it’s the main model on the front cover.
Name of the magazine- My magazine title is bolder than the
‘seventeen’ magazine. I think making it bolder is important as it
makes it stand out.
Images-I’ve used a variety of pictures instead of just pictures of
stars like the ‘seventeen’ magazine has. I’ve used make-up items as

7. Images-I’ve used a drop shadow on the pictures unlike the ‘We
Love Pop’ magazine. The drop shadow makes the pictures stand
out more.
Colours-I’ve used more feminine colours unlike ‘We Love Pop’,
which will target my female audience.
Writing- My writing is more spaced out than the ‘We Love Pop’
magazine which I think makes it more appealing to read and
easier to read as there isn’t so much and isn’t so cramped

Image-I liked the idea of an item in the picture, I think it made
it look more sophisticated and the item I used (make-up)
makes it more appealing to the female audience I’m aiming
towards.
Questions-We both did an interview/asked questions for the
story instead of just an article but I added more questions in
than the ‘We Love Pop’ magazine which is better because the
there is more to read and find out about which I think would
attract the female audience.
10. Background-I decided to stick with just a two coloured
background. I think colour is more appealing to the female
audience and I feel like the colour purple is a better colour
choice than the blue used on the ‘seventeen’ magazine.
Clothes-I used very feminine colours to appeal to my
female audience more and to attract them whereas the
‘seventeen’ magazine don’t use as feminine colours in their
clothes.
Colours-Overall I use a lot more feminine colours than the
My Magazine Music Magazine.
11. Writing- My writing font, position and colours for what is inside
the magazine is very different from the ‘we love pop’ magazine.
My writing is more spaced out and nearly covers the page
whereas the ‘we love pop’ magazine’s is all together in one box.
Colours-I’ve used more feminine colours whereas they have
added more masculine colours like the blue. I think my
magazine would attract the female audience more.
Font- My font is slightly bigger in places, making it easier to

Background-My colour is more sophisticated than the ‘We Love Pop’
magazine. I have three colours, blending in together in the background,
whereas the ‘We Love Pop’ magazine has two colours which are quite plain.
Images- I’ve included more images in my contents than the ‘We Love Pop’
magazine has used. Also they’re sophisticated and feminine which targets my
female audience.
Model-I’ve used more feminine clothes as the colours are more feminine.
Also I have included a drop shadow which makes the model stand out.
