Originally, she wanted to feature her main article's artist on the front cover but ultimately chose a high-quality photo that better represented the genre. For the contents page, she experimented with different layouts to appeal to her target audience. Images are a key selling point of the magazine since her audience prefers them to text. The article takes inspiration from a rock magazine but adapts it to her genre, and features images and a pull quote to make the writing easier to read and the magazine look more professional.

3. production experiments4.3
The document describes experiments with a mock magazine front cover and double page spread (DPS) for a class project on women's fashion magazines.
For the front cover, the author used a photo of model Cindy Kimberly and included her name in white text on a blue background. For the DPS, a large photo of Cindy is on the left with her name below, and the page includes substantial explanatory text about fashion and the industry.
The author reflects that for the real magazine, they will include more information and possibly images on the cover, as well as a mixture of topics instead of focusing entirely on one person across the DPS pages. The layout will also be improved compared to the experimental versions.
Presentation1
The document discusses the masthead, cover design, and written content of a pop magazine created by the author. The masthead follows conventions by placing the artist's name prominently and the magazine title. The cover features the subject holding her hair, representing overcoming bullying. Costumes and makeup were chosen to look like everyday outfits for teenage girls. While the font, columns, and size of written content conform to standards, the use of three colors in the magazine title is unconventional.

Introduction To Artists
Hannah Vickers is the artist featured on the front cover of the magazine 'OMGPOP'. She was born in London in 1995 and studied at the BRIT school before signing with record labels. By age 19 she had released her first album and gone on a world tour. She has since sold over 15 million albums and won several awards. Vickers is featured because she is a young, successful pop artist that can inspire the magazine's young audience. She has also done charity work, making her a positive role model. The magazine will also feature the band The Nymphs and artist Taylor Gumbs on the front cover, with articles providing exclusive content on Taylor Swift as well.
Costume Analysis
In this image of Taylor Swift, she is wearing a teal dress and high heels that reflect her image as a young, feminine pop star. The dress style appeals to both young girls and male audiences while still maintaining her modesty. Her red lipstick and makeup suggest femininity and confidence while her natural straight hair emphasizes her youth.
In this image of One Direction, the band members are all wearing black, grey, and red clothing to show they are a band but their individual styles reflect their unique personalities. Items like jeans and blazers suggest they take their careers seriously while still appearing like typical boys. Their haircuts are common high school styles to appear relatable to young fans.

Font Analysis
- 1. Font analysis For my masthead, I need a font that stands out, and immediately attracts the attention of the audience and draws them to the masthead which is ‘OMGPOP’. The first font I looked at using is ‘Aardvark café’. This font adds swirls and curvy lines to it, which would appeal to the young reader, and reflects the fun genre of pop itself. OMGPOP Aardvark café. However, I decided that this was not the right font for my magazine, as when looking at the way it rights ‘OMGPOP’ it doesn’t’ look very feminine, and may put my target audience off. I then looked at using ‘Goudy stout’. This font is good as the letters are bold and would attract the attention of the audience, but the font itself would not look right on my magazine as it’s very ‘serious’ and a more masculine font. OMGPOP Goudy Stout. I then found ‘Valentine’; this font is the one I will use for my masthead as it is bold so it will attract the audience, and it’s simple so they won’t be put off of reading the magazine. I chose this font because it’s quite youthful, and would therefore attract the right target audience. The font is feminine, and would appeal to the young girls, and fans of the pop genre. I will then add a heart to the last ‘P’, to reflect the genre, the target audience and the brand identity of the magazine. This will also be smaller, in the top right hand corner of every page. I will also use this font for writing ‘Inside this issue!’ on the top of the contents page.
- 2. OMGPOP The font for my main sell-line has to be attention grabbing, but can’t draw the attention away from the masthead. For my main sell line, I decided to use ‘Adobe Heiti STD R’, as it is bold and will attract the attention of the audience, whilst showing the importance of it without taking the attention away from the masthead. EXCLUSIVE! INTERVIEW WITH HANNAH ON SHOES, SHOPPING AND SHOCKING HER PARENTS For the editor’s letter on the contents page, I will use the Script MT Bold’ font so it looks hand written: ‘Dear girls… ’ I decided to use this font to show direct address with the audience, and make I feel like it has been personally written for that reader. This would ensure that the readers trust in the magazine, making them want to come back and buy it again.
