Front Cover Feedback

These are some of the comments I got back from my target audience about my front cover:




Contents Page Features (So far)

These images show my contents page features so far:



Contents Page Colour Choices

These are my colour choices and why I choose them:


Contents Page Layout

This post is about my contents page layout so far:




From both images, you can see that I have made quite a few changes to how my contents page was laid out and looked.

Firstly, I changed the title of the contents page. I have put 'INSIDE THIS MAG' Instead of Pop Up. I did this because when I researched Pop magazines, none of them had their masthead or contents on as the title.

The layout of my contents page is very similar to my flatplan. I have moved and got rid of some of the features. For example, I have not put the picture in the left bottom corner in on my contents page as I didn't think it would look good there in the end. 

The layout of my contents is that the pink boxes will be text and most probably be a different colour and the blue boxes are images. I have done this because I am not exactly sure of the text or pictures that are going to go there and they are just helping with spacing.




This is my finished contents page. I changed the layout of my contents page because before it looked too childish. 

I changed my magazine to look more mature by having a recurring space between each box. This made it more neat.

I also changed the font and colour of the writing to make it more mature and stand out more.I have added less images than I originally wanted to because I didn't want it to be too crowded.

DPS Stand First

This is my DPS stand first research:



I look at these two stand firsts.

The conventions I found:
  • Two lines as they are only brief descriptions of what the article is about
  • The Jessie J one doesn't include her name whereas the Cher Lloyd one does. This tells me that the stand first most probably does include the artists name but most probably doesn't
  • Cher Lloyd one uses a commanding tone. For example, 'Forget everything' or 'Read this interview now!'
  • Jessie J uses facts to start their start first.
I will aim to use theses when I write my own stand first.

My Stand First:

You think you know Ruby Rae? Well... Think again! With the release her killer new album and new relationships on the arise, Ruby Rae is full of surprises this 2016!

DPS Market Research

This is a prezi about the research I did into 2 paper interviews and 2 video interviews:
