Planning...

This is my model, Chloe Blagg. She is my sister and I think she is ideal to use as the main artist of my magazine. This is because: 

- She has a natural face meaning you can d o a lot of things with make up and effects
- She has long blonde hair which is wavy, this looks natural and I can work with it in different ways
- She represents the "Pop" genre well
- She has no piercings or tattoos (this is something you would expect to see on a Rock magazine
- And she is tall and stands out
                                    
                     

Planning...

As well as touching up a few of my techniques which I have learned over these past few months, the magazine cover I have made below has made me realize that I want to change the name of my magazine. I don't think "M-You-Sic" although sounds and looks good, I don't think that it really gives the genre away. I like the name I come up with previously which was "Clarity". This is because I think it is striking and looks and sounds different.

Below I have typed up different fonts I am looking to use on my magazine cover and throughout my magazine for titles, subheadings etc...


Planning...

Before I now to start to produce my first draft of my front cover, double page spread and contents I have decided to my practiced techniques to use. Here I have made a random magazine cover where I have tried my best to use all of the codes and conventions I have studied.

This has really helped me gain that last bit of practice I need before I make my official magazine:


I think though, that when I come to make my own, it will look a lot more "chic" and "elegant". I think I will tone down the colours just a little and make them coordinate. I am pleased with this overall though.I particularly like the font and the title "Clarity". I'm thinking about changing my magazine name to this because I think it is striking and the meaning of the word is in fact appropriate to a Pop Music Magazine.
