Possible Front Cover Images

These are the pictures that i have taken for my front cover of my music magazine using the model Leah Haywood. They were taken in the green room at college against a white wall.

Text Examples

Here are some examples of different types of fonts that have given me ideas and inspiration for my pop music magazine. I got them all from a website called dafont.com that contains hundreds of different types of fonts in various shapes and sizes. I have chosen the ones above because they caught my eye and stood out to me as i was looking for examples. I like all of the texts that i have chosen because they are unique and bold so that they are really noticeable to the audience and memorable. 

Makeup Ideas

These images above are from various different websites that i chose from Google images. I researched makeup thoughts to inspire me and give me ideas for the models i will use throughout my music magazine. Smoky eyes or bright colored eye liners stand out and follow the codes and conventions of a pop music magazines because they are prominent to the audience and noticeable. Red lipstick has different ideologies behind it but i think for a pop  music magazine it is appropriate and features in the majority of the existing magazines that i have studied for influence.

Costume Ideas

The pictures of the clothes that are featured above are all taken from the Topshop online website. They are clothes that appeal to me which is relevant because i fit the reader profile perfectly. The clothes i have chosen are not too inappropriate or revealing, which most of the clothes featured on artists in existing pop music magazines currently are. Clothes featured in pop music magazines aren't dull and boring because they need to stand out and be noticed. The clothes i have chosen above are all unique, different and mostly bright colored.
