Masthead Style

These are my chosen fonts and style for my masthead. I made a few to choose from.

Outfits

These are two of my outfit plans for my cover star model to wear. I will hopefully try to get similar clothes to these as I feel that they're appropriate for the genre of music I have chosen. These clothes connote fierceness and are a bold fashion statement. They also represent an electro feel to the magazine.
These clothes have been inspired from girl groups like 2NE1, Miss A and Girls Generation. 

For my contents page mix image I will be using my friend Eleanor to be a 'contest winner' who recieved a K-pop make over. I want her to wear very simple K-pop clothing.

Questionnaire Results

The questionnaire is out of 20 people between the ages of 16 and 25 as I found out that most Kpop fans and stars are that age.

Location Ideas

My first location I’ve thought about is a white background. I think it’s a good idea as most Kpop Magazine cover backgrounds are white or a plain color which won’t interfere with the main cover star. This means that all the attention will all be on the cover star. However I think it will be quite difficult to find a cheap photography studio on the other hand my bedroom wall has a white background which may be helpful. We have used my white wall for a photo shoot before and the pictures turned out great. I had to be the cover star of her Music magazine. It turned out pretty well. The white background looked exactly like a studio background.

My idea location idea is a brick wall. This is due to the color and the pattern of it as I think it will make the cover star more noticeable and the pattern of the brick wall would give the magazine a “hard and bold” feel to it which is suitable to Kpop fans. There are many brick walls which is very accessible and easy to use.


Another place I think would make a good setting would be a white background which I will then edit to make it have an electro pop feel to it. I will add electric lights which will connote that the cover star is always in the lime light of the media and that they’re the brightest and most known Kpop star.

I think that my cover background will be a popping cherry red colour or white as I've seen that most Kpop magazines are red or white which has influenced me to do the same. On the other hand I want something more unique and interesting which I might do for the background of the double page spread. For my contents background I think that I will keep it a clean white which will make the page very simple but easy to read.

Poll results

This is the result I got from the 10 day poll I've put on my blog.

I sent the link to people aged 16-25.

The result told me that most of the people I sent this poll to prefer K-pop leading at 33%, Pop and R&B tied at 22%. The lowest genre was country recieving 2%. But Hip Hop got 8% and Classic only got 5%. This tells me that they are more interested in looking and buying KPop magazine.
