Dear Blog

I need to update my blog with some multimedia products, for example a video from youtube of a 'pop' music video to help me know what type of things to include. It will help me get a better understanding of the 'pop' generation.

Genre Mood Board

This image show's all sorts of different music bands and soloists that I can take into consideration when deciding what type of magazine I'll be creating. Personally I think the genre that stands out the most is the 'Pop' group 'One Direction'. They're a world wide sell out band that already have over 3 number 1's which puts into prospect how good the Pop genre are doing in the stores.

This is also a mood board/collage of the pop group I was first talking about in the previous paragraph, this show's that the audience of the magazine would be most likely aged between 11-18, depending on my own research of people that enjoy the pop magazines themselves.

Pop Artist Mood Board

This is an image of a Pop Artist Mood Board that I've created to represent all the current pop artists that are about now in the charts. This allows me to get an idea of what the 'pop artists' look like and appear like to the public eye. This also gives me an idea of what I could do to make the best possible outcome of my magazine.

This double page spread is a great example as it has all the features of a proper magazine. The colours link with each other, for example the colours are the same on both pages, the use of pink make the main aspects of the image stand out a lot as it is the only bright colour being used. Also the fact that some of the font is in italic, shows that it is for a more formal audience

This is one of the pages within 'The Lady' that I found really striking and interesting due to the unique layout of the page. The colours around the two main pictures of the women are very calm and relaxed as they aren't that bright, the allow the two pictures of the woman to have full focus. Also I like how the second picture of the blonde woman is overlapping the first picture of the woman in the mirror like design.

I like this front cover because of the contrast of colours, the bright red and bright blue made me notice it immediately... Furthermore I also like the fact that the masthead is lapping over the picture of the woman, it brings more emphasis to the title so the observer can see it clearly
