1. Looking back I have learned most about the layout of magazines. I learned that different
types and genres of magazines will have different layouts in order to stand out to their target
audience. Looking back at my preliminary task I can see that my layout is poor. I also learned
about conventions, photography, mise-en-scene, image editing, layout, font, colour and
mode of address. For conventions I learned that in a pop magazine everything has to be very
feminine and girl based because that's who the target audience are. For photography I have
learned that in the pop genre the images are all of attractive individuals or the latest most
popular boy bands. Mise-en-scene is once again feminine and included bright lighting to
show innocence. I learned in image editing that I need to remove all the background so that
it looks as professional as possible. The layout needs to be cluttered and cram as much
information on the front cover to appeal to the target audience. The fonts and colours both
need to be feminine and a handwritten font is very often used in a girly colour. Finally the
mode of address is fun and bold with the house colours been whites, pinks and blues.
