Joe Dolan created two hand drawn drafts for the front cover of a soap opera magazine. The first magazine was called "Time for Soap" and included the price of 40p and encouraged audience interaction on social media using hashtags. The second magazine was called "Soap n' Stuff" and repeated the first draft's price and hashtag elements. It also proposed including multiple storylines such as a stalker plotline.

3. Idea 1 Hand drawn drafts
• My idea was to have the magazine name
being called ‘Time for soap’ as I thought it was
catchy and would be suitable in grasping the
audiences attention. I also priced the
magazine at 40p of which I believe is a
reasonable amount a customer would be
willing to spend. I also used synergy with
social media for example “hash tagging”
triangle to try and give the audience a chance
to interact with the latest gossip.

5. Idea 2 Front Cover
• My second idea was called “Soap n Stuff” of
which also is laid out fairly similarly to my first
idea. I “repeated” (Steve Neale) the price and
hash tag idea from my first idea for my magazine
as I thought these elements have to be in my
magazine as they are very effective and match
some of my magazines of inspiration such as
Inside Soap. I thought that the idea of including
multiple story lines such as including a “stalker”
storyline would be effective.
