For this task I chosen an existing magazine and created a front cover in the style of my chosen magazine. In this case, I used Top of the Pops and came up with original photography, cover lines, fonts and topics in which i thought would suit the particular magazine. I also annotated my magazine to identify all of the codes and conventions which i have used, and why they are used/why i have used them.
Although this is a different genre of music to what my main task is going to be, this will help me in the future when i come to designing my own magazine. I will be able to refer back to this as a part of my planning to gain ideas and know what my own magazine should include. This has also helped me to practice creating magazines using my own original photography, also benefiting me for future tasks.
This what you would expect to see on the cover of a particular type of magazine.
I have matched the ethos/philosophy of my magazine to my chosen layout, fonts and original photography. I have done this by aiming my main image to young teenage girls (my target audience). This is by having a young face on the magazine and choosing a costume which would also appeal to that age group. I have also used young stars who are recognized by young teenagers and suit the pop genre of music. I have thought about the font i have used carefully so that it seems young, fun and isn't too serious. For these reasons i believe that i have met the ethos/philosophy of my magazine.
