Genre Research
By Kate Willis
My chosen genre is pop.The key components of this genre that I will focus on are:
• Colours
• Font
• Content
• Costume
• Colours should be bright and positive. Examples are pinks, blues and yellows as these
correspond with the happy and confident genre of pop.
Colours
Each of the examples I got of pop magazines
contain colours such as the bright pinks, blues, reds
and yellows. Also, I found that the magazines are
usually presented on a white background to help
these colours stand out further.
Each of the colours the magazine uses is used for a reason.The colour pink is used as a common colour
throughout as pink; the softer side of red, signifies harmony, peace and approachability. Another colour
regularly repeated in the genre is yellow.The cheerful colour of yellow is symbolic of joy, happiness and warm
energy. Pop magazines use these bright colour themes to make the reader feel excited and happy and enticed
to buy their magazine.
Font
Throughout the genre of pop there are general styles and themes when it comes to the font. Pop magazines tend to
use fun exciting fonts as these match the magazine content. The titles normally stand out in bright colours like
mentioned in the previous slide, but they also stand out because of their fonts. I found that with a lot of the titles I
looked into, the titles had some from of an effect on them to make them more interesting. An example is the is ’pop
star’ where a fishbowl effect has been used in order to make the title stand out more and to make it ‘pop’. Overall the
actual font used is actually quite simple but the effects used make it a lot more interesting and fun.
In this title the font is bubbly, fun and curly.This shows the fun side of the magazine as the
more relaxed font is less harsh and more laidback, showing the audience that the
magazine is entertaining, just like the font.The ‘s’ on this font particularly stands out to
make the magazine more unique and exciting.
This font, like I mentioned previously, uses an effect to make a usually boring and simple font come
to life.The font is also in white to stand out from the pink background. The exclamation mark used
at the end puts emphasis on the energetic style of pop that this magazine portrays.
Additionally, this font used in this magazine echo's the ideas of the ‘pop star’
magazine in the previous paragraph.This is because the font used is fairly simple but
the slant on the ’W’ and the speech bubble interest the reader that bit more to want to
purchase this magazine in particular.The speech bubble also help the reader to relate
more as if they are thinking of purchasing a pop magazine they can probably relate to
the we love pop title.
The fonts inside and throughout the rest of the magazine are usually quite fun yet fairly basic and
gentle, something along the lines of ‘Monaco’
Lighting
In pop magazines there is a correlated theme in terms of the lighting used. The lighting used is usually bright with
white as a background theme throughout most of the magazine I have looked at. Due to all of the bright colours and
font that are used in pop magazines the background is usually white as to not overwhelm the cover.The lighting is
bright and summery and the genre of pop is all bright and fun also.The bright lighting is happy and cheerful, as is pop,
and as well as this is help the cover stars stand out.This is important to the magazine because these are typically the
main selling point so they need to stand out above everything else.
These magazines all have bright lighting
and white backgrounds to make it fun and
happy like the genre. As well as this it
helps the cover stars to stand out
Costumes
Costumes are an important part in any genre. In pop the genres tend to be fairy simple and not to overly complicated
as to not over do the already full, fun-packed and colorful font cover.The colours of costumes tend to be bright or light
colours to fit with the rest of the theme and the genre. With costume being quite simple it allows the main photo to be
the center of attention and this is rather important to sell the magazine as this photo is a main selling point. It allows
the cover star to be the main focus. Overall, not a lot of props are used in pop magazines but it could still be a
possibilty as shown on the cover of NME with Rihanna.
Overview
• Colours- For my magazine I will my colours bright and use colours such as yellows, pinks and blues to
make sure that it fits with the theme of pop.
• Font-I will keep my font fun and bubbly.
• Lighting- I will have bright high-key lighting on a white background.
• Costume- I will keep costume basic but colourful.
