Change.
After reviewing my front cover of my magazine "Turn It Up" I realised that the eyes of the band on the cover shot dont draw you in therefore I have edited the magazine so that it only has one of the girls in the band as the only person because her eyes are wide and you can see the tones.

Turn It Up Draft 4
During the past hour I have added all the compulsary features and what I think I need so now I need feedback from my fellow peers on how it needs improving because it needs to look proffesional and in keeping with the genre of the magazine and who it's aimed at which is why the use of pink is used because its stereotypical for girls meaning the will know that it's aimed at them.
Turn it up- second draft.
This is the updated version of my magazine cover, it has had the image on of the band "The Sundae's", a lot of text has been added to the front of the magazine however it is still missing elements like a price.

Final Colour Scheme for my Pop Magazine.
Earlier on I looked at several different colour schemes and concluded that I would go with the red and pink tones and I generated these colours for my magazine. This will continue throughout the magazine so it looks more proffesional. These colours represent the fun side of a teenage girl and as I fit into this catogory I know that this is the colour scheme that girls would most relate to. I did ask several girls if they liked this colour scheme and all had positive feedback on it saying that it was bright and fun and suited the genre and style of the magazine well.
Masthead Colour.
I decided that I needed to see which colour looked the best for my masthead and made it stand out the most. The first one would be described as fire truck red and three people choose this one saying that it would stand out well against the background. Colour number two wasn't very liked because it was described by others as being weak and drained meaning that it wouldnt stand out against the background colour. Colour number 3 was liked the most because of all the colours it stands out the most and it follows the stereotype of pink being for girls which is what my magazine is aimed at therefore the message would be passed easily and it would be understood. Number 4 was said to be dull in colour and it wouldn't stand out, it wasnt hated but it wasnt liked either. Finally number five was liked but when put up against number three it didn't stand out as much therefore overall number three was choosen as the best on for my pop magazine.
Front cover Idea's
As my magazine is a pop genre it ultimately means that everything has to compliment that theme so that it all matches which means that every band or singer or producer put on my magazine must be related to the pop genre. Therefore for my main band on the front cover I have decided to use "The Sundae's" they are a girl group with fun and funky songs that are great for teenage girls who want to have fun. There first single shall be called Apples and Pearls because they both have a special meaning to each band memeber.

Colour Schemes for my magazine
I have choosen 4 different colour schemes, I was able to use pinks and purples fcr the magazine because the genre is pop and its aimed at teenage girls. I asked 10 people which one was their favourite and which one went the best with the magazine style, 4 people chose pink, 5chose red, 1 chose purple and 0 chose green. I I shall therefore use the red colour scheme because it best reflects public opinion and my magazine theme.
