This document summarizes how the media product uses and develops conventions of real magazines. The title font, colors, layout, and written content are designed to emulate real pop magazines like Top of the Pops. Interviews are formatted with the interviewer in bold and interviewee in regular text. Photos on the cover and inside pages feature smiling models in casual outfits, using natural lighting and poses seen in other magazines. The contents page lists articles and uses images and designs like paperclips and boxes to look like real magazine photos. The genre of pop music is reflected through the bright colors, curvy feminine fonts, and teenage focus of written pieces.

5. People
I decided to use this person
as my main model as she
looks like a pop star. She
has a natural look about
her, which makes you
think that she is a nice
person with a bubbly
personality which fits in
with the pop genre and she
will attract the teen target
audience. The model is
attractive which is
commonly seen on the
front cover of magazines.

6. Title font and style
This is the text I used for my interview. Like interview
in magazines have the interviewer in bold and the
interviewee in normal. I used the text ‘Cooper black’
as it is the same as all my text throughout. Most
magazines use consistency in the text they use. Unlike
other magazines I have used pink text for a large
chunk of writing were usually this would be a more
standard colour, this is because I wanted the page to
be more girly and also to look unique from others.
This is the title for my double page spread. Using the same few
colours on the page. I have a pink background with white text
opposite to the interview. This text is also ‘Cooper black’ I used
this text as it is curvy which gives it a feminine look which will be
appealing to my target audience.
This the name of my magazine and features on the front cover of
my magazine. I decided to use cooper black when I was making the
title as it fit the genre of my magazine. The title is in the style of a
wave as it is referring to the name.

7. Written content
This is the start of the interview that I have
written for my front page. Like most
magazines I have started by explaining
what I will be talking about in the
interview. Theses are standard questions
that would be asked in interviews. I have
my written content set out in the same way
as other magazines with the question in
bold and the answer normal, so readers can
tell who is speaking. The story I choose to
do was about a teenage girl that had a rise
to fame through YouTube videos, I thought
that this story fit in well with the model I
used as she looked like a typical teenager.

8. Music genre
The genre of music I did for my magazine
was ‘Pop’. I showed this through many
aspects of my magazine. For the colours
scheme I used bright and girly colours:
Pink, purple and white, these are typical
colours for a pop magazine such as top of
the pops. The text is a curvy font which
will be attractive to the pop audience.
