Research and planning: Production progress 4

 At this point, I have considered layout as the most important aspect. Using language like, "An inside look," instead of simply putting contents engages my intended target audience whilst using stereotypical language associated with teenage gossip.I have re positioned this headline because the layout needed to show that it was neat. I've made it slightly slanted so that it has a 3D effect. The ellipses also assists the gossip ideology due to navigating the audience to the contents of the page. 
          A feature which must be adhered to is the maximum amount of images however, they must be placed in an organised layout. This is why I have clearly aligned the editorial note as much as I could, with the coverline story of "Parisa" Again, both the editorial and the cover line uses stereotypical teenage girl language, in order to appeal to that 11- 16 year old target audience. To assist "Parisa's" coverline, I have used a pull quote. The pull quotes color adheres to the house styles color scheme. The words have directly come from the singer herself so this increases the coverlines interview value as well as increasing "Rising Star"/ the magazine's value. For consistency, I have used the house styles color scheme to insert page numbers in a bold serif typography. The numbers indicate to the pages in which you would find such a coverlines.

In addition, I have created an additional coveline section which will be either regular features or exclusives to the magazine.  From analyzing pop magazine contents page, I have noticed that they don't classify which sections are features or exclusives. Instead, they have a subheading in which it uses language of an informal register to demonstrate navigation of additional contents coverlines.

To increase magazine's value, I have allocated an area in which I can use more of my photographs as posters.




At this moment in time, I have started off my double page spread. The layout is important so this layout may not be permanent. I have used a heading which allows my audience to know that the coverline is an interview. I have included a subheading in which I am going to work on it's wording. This subheading supports the heading. I may use another photograph for my main image. I like the posture and the expression of this main image so I may allocate and area for posters. I am also contemplating changing the band name so that it sounds more pop instead of indie.
