flat plans

This is my flat plan for my front cover of my magazine. As you can see the title of my magazine is called 'Pop Me'. I chose this as my title because it's different to what other pop magazines are called but it still gives off the friendly and fun vibe to the magazine. I chose this title as well because I wanted to make it personal to the reader, this magazine will give off all information about pop music and the title gives a sense of that. As it's 'Pop Me' it's kind of giving the information to the reader so they just got 'popped' basically. My front cover will have one big picture of a new singer called Jenny Love, I chose this name and singer because female singers are dominating the charts at the moment especially in the dance-pop genre for example Lady Gaga. I also gave an exclusive part to her interview stating that "She is ready to take on Blu and Lady BlahBlah", I chose these names because I wanted
it to be similar to the stars of today e.g. P!nk and Lady Gaga it. I also put the "She is ready to take on Blu and Lady Blah Blah" because it would make an interesting sub-caption and it would make people want to read about this new singer, and to see what she has to offer.

My sub-captions are all about music as well on the right hand side there is a caption saying "The top 10 tunes on ITunes", I chose this because at the moment ITunes is taking over from actual CD buying, so I tought that people would be interested in what tunes they could find on ITunes and it would also promote ITunes.

On the left hand side there is a caption saying "The future for Pop music in 2010" I put this in to make readers want to read the magazine more. This is because fans of pop music might think is this about new pop artists? or new songs from current pop artists. So I wanted it to come across as exciting and fresh for fans of pop music.





This is my contents page, the main thing you notice about the contents page is the big picture at the right hand side. I chose this as a design because my main selling point is Jenny Love and I wanted her to be on the contents page because I want people to notice her and want to read about her.

I have nine main points to my magazine, all about music . I didn't put any points in about accesories or fashion because I wanted this magazine to be like how all music magazines should be.

My first point is about celebrities and their secrets, I put this in because everybody wants to know the gossip on celebrities and it hits the atrget audience I am aiming for. This will hit the target audience because they would want to know what their favourite celebrities are up to. My second point is "X Factor...Will it come back?"
I done this because I think it would be an interesting story to have, as X Factor is the most popular show on British TV at the moment, I think that this story would really appeal to the readers and it would make the magazine a bit more interesting. There are 7 more points to this contents page, the 9th point is the main selling point as well which is Jenny Love. I decided to put her as my last point because I wanted the readers to read it last, and Jenny Love would be the one they remember from the contents page. This is good because it will make the reader want to read about Jenny Love more then any other article, as well as having her picture as my main picture on both the front cover and the contents page, she really stands out compared to any of the other articles.














This is my double page spread. My main title to this is "THE GIRL THAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT......JENNY LOVE" I put this is in because I think it's a good way to persuade people to read this article, because if they think that everybody is talking about Jenny Love, then they will want to find out more about her.

The design of this is double page is very simple, there is a big title and a big picture. I designed the picture to interact with the title. I am going to get Jenny arm around the word 'LOVE' this will be quite effective as it looks like the writing and the picture were done at the same time. on the left hand side of this double page is a section where there will be the interview section, this will be in two columns. The information will be about her debut single and album. And as the front cover said her taking on the big singers 'Blu' and 'Lady Blah-Blah'. This will interest readers because they will want t know about her single and album and what you can expect from her.

The colours to my magazine will be a range of different shades of blue, red, yellow, green, purple. I'm choosing these colours because they go well with each other and I think they will work well with the genre of my magazine.
