my work

1. Master head
The master head is in the font
serif it takes up a big part of the
front making sure the reader
knows what company the
magazine is from.
Main sell line
The main sell line is the name of
the popstar featured on the
magazine so it will attract people
who are fans of Taylor Swift
because she is in it.
Sell line
The sell line is used to
show different topics in
the magazine
San serif
font
Barcode
A barcode is used for
buying the magazine

2. Many pop magazines are shown to have male models on the front of the magazine cover. They tend to be young and
fashionable in modern day clothing. This is used to attract woman and teenage girls to read the magazine because an
popular and fashionable male is on the front cover.
Both magazines have a lot of pink colours that are very light and eye catching. They both also shown a lot of yellow colours
to again catch the readers eye.
A lot of the writing is in a serif font this creates the sense that the magazine is for a a teenage girl audience.
Both magazines also have tags to attract the audience, some also come with freebies like makeup to again attract female
readers. Tags are used to make the reader believe they are getting something exclusive in the magazine that others will not
have. The seventeen magazine has also pull quotes on the front cover to interest the target audience to want to read the
magazine.
The genre of music that they are going to be talking about is very obvious on
this magazine as states ‘we love pop’ indicating what type of music magazine it
is.
The tag word ‘exclusive’ is in bold pink writing so it is able to stand out and
catch the reads eye. On the other magazine it uses the word ‘special edition’
which would make the reader believe its a one time thing so you have to buy
it.
The magazine also has other photos of other celebrities that could attract a
different target audience aswell.

3. On this magazine cover the photo of Florence is a close up where as normally a
medium shot is used. Her hair is used to cover the rest of the page. There are
only two main colours for text used which is white and a navy blue. The target
audience for this magazine could be both male and female as it does not use
any pink or purple colours that you would associate a magazine for females to
be.
The target audience for this magazine is
teenage girls this is represented by the pink
and purple colours used. At the top of the page
it gives a clear indication to the type of
magazine it is i.e pop. The magazine uses tags
like ‘Free’ and ‘Plus’ to make someone want to
buy it because you are getting something for
free and more than what you'd normally get
The main image is a medium shot many of the
medium shots of the woman pose for the
camera. The magazine has 3 main colour
scheme pink, purple and yellow.

4. Summary
From this work i now know i need to use at least 2 or 3 main colours in my magazine article with a
medium close up of who i would like to be on my front cover. When taking a shot for the front
cover i need to be aware that i cant have writing going over the front of the persons face as that
would not look professional i need to be aware of the clothing they wear so that it fits the music
type magazine well. When choosing the 3 or 2 different colours i will need to think about who my
target audience would be and what colours would look best all together. I need to pick
appropriate topics to put into my magazine front cover in the sell lines to do with pop music. I
also need to decide if i want to use more of san serif or serif font in my work. I also need to be
careful to not put to much text of the front cover as it will look like there is too much writing and
maybe stop someone from wanting to read and buy the magazine.
