2. For my music magazine ‘Ultimately Pop’, I have chosen to use a
plain background for my front cover, rather than a location. By
taking my image on a plain background, the image will look more
professional. It will also allow the FAPs and sell-lines that feature
on the Front Cover to be more eye-catching and easier to see on
the page. Whereas if I chose a rural background such as a park,
the background would make the less visible and harder to read.
My front cover would be much more effective by featuring a
plain background. My front cover to be more eye-catching and
vibrant. It will also allow me to edit the background to a bright
and vibrant colour to make it stand out from other pop
magazines. This is because a plain background is common in pop
front covers, as shown on the previous examples. This will allow
my magazines to follow the general conventions of pop music
magazines, but still stand out on the shelves, and look like a
professional music magazine.

4. The images used on my contents page will be set in
indoor locations, such as in front of coloured walls or
just inside a house. This is because most images in pop
contents pages feature on bright backgrounds that
make them stand out. Any images that are taken with
items in the background, will be blurred. This allows
the image to more attention grabbing and the artist
will instantly grab the audiences eye. It will instantly
force the audience to focus on the artist in the image.
Whereas, the main image on the contents page will be
taken on a plain background as it will feature the same
artist as the front cover. The background will create a
look of being taken inside a studio. This will make the
images and the magazine as a whole look professional.

6. My double page spread will feature different locations. This is very
common in pop magazine double page spreads. Like all the main
images in my magazine, they main image of the double page spread
will be on a plain background. This will allow me to edit the
background and add the appropriate effects. It will also make the
image look professional. This will also allow me to maintain the
symbiotic link between the three pieces as the images will be in
similar locations. Usually in double page spread articles, there are
multiple images and my piece shall be no different. The smaller
images will be taken in outdoor locations, creating the idea of the
artist at concerts and meet and greets with her fans. I will also
feature a smaller image of the artist in the ‘studio’ doing a fun pose
looking happy and as if she is having the time of her life. This is
because this is a common feature of pop double page spreads and
will allow my magazine to look professional and like a real pop
music magazine.

8. •The images on the previous slides show similar locations to the ones I am planning to use
for my music magazine. The majority of the images will be taken on plain backgrounds, like
the image of Little Mix. This makes the image look as if it has been taken in a professional
studio. This creates a very high standard look to the magazine and makes the images pop. It
will also give the overall magazine a more professional feel. The plain white background also
allows the whole focus to be on the artists themselves. It makes the artists stand out against
the plain background and makes the image more effective.
•The smaller feature images on the contents page and the double page spread will be taken
in outdoor locations. For example, one of the images will be taken in a park, like the image of
Taylor Swift. This will allow the image and the artist to relate to the target audience. This is
because the target audience would be likely to go to the park to hang out with their friends.
It also will make the double page spread look more professional as it is a common feature to
have smaller related images of the artist in different locations, and a caption to explain why
they are there.
•I am also planning to have an image on the double page spread of a ‘meet and greet’ with
the artists fans. This image will also be taken in an outdoor location, such as a car park, as
this is a common place for artists to meet their fans. For example, many ‘directioners’ wait
outside studios that One Direction are in so that they can meet them.. This will also show the
target audience that the artist likes to stop and see meet their fans, which will make the TA
like them even more.
•Another location that could be used is any indoor location that looks as if it has a stage. This
will create the look of the artist performing at a concert for their fans. Also, an indoor sofa
area could be used to look like the artist is on a chat show. This will show that the artist is
laidback and likes to go on shows to further reach out to their fans.

9. • The main location that I will use for the images across my three
pieces is a white background. This allows the artist to be the
focus of the image and creates a high-standard and professional
feel to my magazine.
• For the FAPs on my Front Cover and Contents Page, I will use a
plain coloured wall inside my house to take the images. This
ensures that there are no unwanted objects in the frame and
allows me to control the lighting used. It also allows the costume
of the artist to contrast with the plain colour of the wall and
makes the overall image very vibrant. I will also use the white
screen for some of the images
• The final location that I will definitely be using is a Car Park
setting. This will be for the smaller image that breaks up the text
on the Double Page Spread and accompanies the main image. I
chose this location as it informs the reader that the Leanne
makes time to meet her fans. It will also link in with a section of
the content in the article that features how Leanne always makes
time for them. This will allow the audience to relate to her more
and respect her.
