Finnished pages

These are my final three designs for my magazine. Overall i am very pleased with the outcome. I think my magazine is very girly and therefore could be a neash product and be only attractive to very girly girls. Although all girls are attracted to pink, i may have used too much. I will be doing a full evaluation of my coursework soon therefore im not evaluating these three pieces too much now.

Contents page

I have decided to re-think my contents page due to the musical notes, I have had some peer and teacher feedback and alot of people think they look twee and predictable for a young person to use. What was suggested to me instead was to try a strip of purple the same colour as my purple hair down the side instead, this is the outcome...

Contents page

This is my finished contents page before any peer assessment or anyone else having a judgement about it. I like the colour theme of this page as it still connotes a girly pop theme but more sophisticated than the cover. I used the music notes as bullet points because when they are not there, on its own, the page looks like a normal contents page rather than for a music magazine. They fit well because they look like little doodles and my target audience being teenage girls, like to doodle and draw. Therefore I think this connects with them well. I have also used colloquial language that teenagers will use like 'fave celebs' so it doesn't sound too formal but not over the top trying to be a teenager, as most will find that embarrassing to read and will put them off. 

New contents images


This is the original and edited image I am hoping to use for my contents page, I did dye my hair purple to help show another side of the artist Frankie Jones. I n my edit I also changed the black pupil to a heart, its not very visible but if anyone looks at the image closely, they can see it. I think it adds to the girly pop theme of my magazine. Also the colour purple is introducing another colour my magazine but still keeping to the girly theme. To edit this image with the lighting, I turned the contrast up and also the brightness up a little bit. This made my purple hair less visible and very light, therefore I used a brush and coloured over it on Photoshop with a saturating tool to make it the right colour.
