Magazine Front Cover Mock-Up

I have drawn what I want my magazine cover to look like. The magazine is called 'valor' which means bravery and courage and it links in with my magazine and the pop genre of my magazine because singers sing about their past experiences and pop music is about being brave enough and to have the courage to come out and have a unique style. The cover image is going to be a female model and the cover image is going to be covering most of the mast head, more focus will be on the cover image's head and shoulders rather than the whole body; this is because when I was doing research of pop magazine's most magazines focused on the head and shoulders rather than all of the body. The colours of the magazine are going to be gold and black, I chose these colours because they stand out and the colours also go well together as well. 

On my magazine there is going to be a kicker, to make my kicker stand out from the rest of the magazine it is going to be bolder and bigger than the strap lines. The kicker is going to be 'princess of pop' and then there is going to be some writing underneath and the kicker is going to be bold and big and it is going to stand out from the rest of the magazine. The kicker contains alliteration with 'princess' and 'pop' this will make the kicker stand out more and it will also be interesting for the audience to read. The strap lines of the magazine are going to be small and they are going to be gold; the strap lines are going to be about some of the stories in the magazine to draw the reader in. I did not include lots of strap lines because I did not want my magazine to be crowded and over the top, I wanted my magazine to be simple but not too simple so it looks like a real magazine. Some of the strap lines include 'chart heat' and 'brit singers going worldwide' these are issues that people are interested in at the moment and they are also up to date issues as well as I found from my research, I have used slang in my strap lines, for example 'brit' this is because most magazine covers contain slang so teenagers will understand it and relate to it as well. I have also included a barcode and the issue date and number which all magazines have; these are some of the things that will make my magazine look real.       

Magazine Contents Page Mock-Up

The magazine contents page is going to be simple yet it will look realistic. This is because my magazine contents page will contain an image of a female model faced on the side and she will be looking towards the camera. This shows that the model will have eye contact with the reader and the audience, the audience will feel comfortable reading the magazine because it shows a sense of communication between the model and the audience.

The numbers on the contents page are gold and the information and the words are black, I have used the same font as a did on the front cover of the magazine because it will look simple and realistic and in my research of magazine contents pages the font usually is the same for the cover and contents page of the magazine. I used simple words and not complicated and long words that teenagers will not understand, this is because my magazine is for 15-23 year olds and if they see long and complicated words they will not understand them and they may not read the magazine if they do not understand the language of the magazine.  

Magazine Double page spread Mock-Up

The magazine double page spread of my magazine is set out in columns, this is because the double page spread will look more organized and it will look realistic like a real double page spread from a magazine. Before I started to plan my mock up double page spread I researched some existing double page spreads and I looked at some of the key features like the writing is in columns and it is usually small and black, and another key feature in magazine double spreads was a gutter. I will then include some of these features in my double page spread, for example I will include a gutter and I will put my writing in columns and I will also make sure that the writing is small and black so it looks realistic.  In most magazine double page spreads there is a quote by the artist and it is bigger than the rest of the text, so I will include the quote in my double page spread as well and I will make it stand out because I will make it bold and black and gold; so when the reader goes on this page the quote will stand out than everything else.

My double page spread is going to be an interview with an artist called 'Eva' and a series of questions are going to be asked to her and she is going to reply to them. I am going to use some slang in the double page spread, for example 'kinda' and 'ya' this is because the magazine is going to be for teenagers and most teenagers will not understand long sophisticated words and if teenagers don't understand the words they may not read the magazine; however if slang is used then they will find it more interesting to read.

On my double page spread there is going to be one big picture covering one half of the page and its going to be of a female model aged 16 years so the model is going to be young just like what I have described her to be in my writing. For my double page spread I am going to take a variety of pictures with the model posing in a variety of ways and then I am going to choose the best one.
