2. The main focus of my front cover, contents page and double page spread is
Leanne Parker, an new upcoming artist. Her debut album has already reached
number one in 37 different countries, including the UK and America. This girl has
raw talent! She is a fun and bubbly girl who’s personality is as big and bright as
her hair! She is naturally pretty with a unique style. With her signature voice and
quirky style there is nothing out there in the pop industry like her. I have chosen
this artist to be the main focus of my magazine as she is the girl everyone is
talking about who suddenly appeared to become famous over night. She will
create an entertaining and interesting article for my readers. She has an
incredibly large fan base for a girl who has only been on the pop scene for a few
weeks. Also, my readers are dying to know her current relationship with badboy Liam Payne from One Direction. She was first signed by Simon Cowell,
which shows she must be good! She is a stunning girl with an amazing voice
who has already began to take over the pop industry! Leanne is a role model to
young girls like the ones who read Ultimately Pop. This is because she has
everything – looks, style, success, the perfect boyfriend who’s in a boy band! At
the same time, she is approachable and seems friendly, someone who could be
a ‘BFF’. This is the perfect combination for the front cover of my magazine.

4. My main artist will be portrayed by my friend Kathryn. She will fit in
with the pop genre as she is bubbly and fun with a naturally pretty look.
I will style her in the unique style of ‘Leanne Parker’, which usually
consists of funky patterned shorts, crop top bralets, skater skirts and
trainers. In the front cover image and the double page spread image,
Kathryn will be dressed in the same costume to maintain the symbiotic
link. However in other images of her she will wear a completely
different costume to show Leanne’s style more to the readers. Her
make up will be natural to show off ‘Leanne’s’ natural beauty, but
teamed with bright and vibrant lipsticks to show her bright and bubbly
personality. This artist will fit in the pop industry as she is young, fun
and lively like the pop genre and pop fans. Also, she is not afraid of
letting her hair down and having fun which is what pop music is all
about. She is a lively and rebellious young girl who is always up for
gossip, and ideal candidate for a pop magazine! However, she also
encourages young girls to embrace their quirks and uniqueness which
makes her a good role model for the young readers of my magazine.

5. My magazine will always feature all the current and popular pop artists. For example,
Justin Bieber, The Wanted, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Conor Maynard and Little Mix. I will
feature these particular artists in my first issue as these were the most popular
suggestions from my focus group. I will have a section on my front cover stating ‘Artists
Inside’, with a list of these particular artists. They will also feature on my contents page on
the section of the articles inside. My contents page will feature 4 images. One main image
of the feature artist, Leanne Parker in this particular issue, that will be larger than the
other 3. The others will be of other featured artists. In the first issue, these 3 artists will
be:
•Rhythmix - a popular female duo that have been in the charts for 2 years.
• Jay Blake - a new teen pop sensation who has been on the scene since the beginning of
2013.
•The Chosen – a popular boy band who were discovered on X Factor in 2011.
The images of these artists will feature on the contents page, and some on the front cover
also. By featuring these images, the pieces will look more visually appealing to the reader.
It will also make my three pieces look more professional as real music magazines feature
multiple artists.
