Possible front cover shots

The codes and conventions of tween pop magazines is that the background tends to be bright for example pink,blues,purples. Also there tends to be one central image of artist/s and there heads are over the title and there is also anchoring text which is related to the central image and tends to be a banner or in sticker form. In my magazine I intend to follow all the codes and conventions as I believe this is the best way to appeal to my target audience as it is what they are used to.

I realised that the central image tends to be quite what could be considered "cheesy" the artist/s tends to be smiling and standing in a stance that is quite playful and it either a full body shot or a mid shot, this is because the target audience either want a full body where they can see every detail of the artist/s or a mid shot where they can see quite close into the artist/s face so they can see them properly and also this gives them the illusion that the artist/s is looking at them.

Title font

I have chosen this as my title font as I believe that this is a good option as when I asked my target audience about which one they preferred and was most appealing they chose this one so I feel this choice is most appropiate and fitting.

Moodboard analysis

From the information that I gathered for my moodboard I decided that the fonts for the pop tween magazines tend to be bubbly so a Microsoft word I tried to identify some of the fonts that I could use on my magazine title.


Fonts

Now that I have identified some of the fonts that are associated with pop tween magazines I decided to brainstorm some possible name choices. The feedback I got from my classmates was that they al preferred the name "fizz" as they felt that this best suited the type of magazine that I was aiming for. My target demographic said that the name "fizz" is the name of magazine that they are most going to be attracted to when buying a magazine.

Moodboard

I made a moodboard so that I could see the type of iconography that pop tween magazines contain. By doing the moodboard I found that the titles and the colours that the magazine covers generally have are pastels for example pinks,blues and purples. I also found that the type of font that is normally used is quite bubbly and I will further my analysis on this in the next stage. The magazines covers tend to be quite busy and have one large central image and many puffs and images which tend to be in boxes in a similar colour. My moodboard also contains the type of artists that the readers generally are interested in so when choosing a article I will keep this in mind. As I will have to use a primary source image on the front cover I will make sure that my artists is of the same genre "pop".
