Contents Mix Image

Contents page 
Model - Eleanor Gray
Age - 16
I chose Eleanor to be my model for the contents page as I wanted to show in the magazine that this Kpop magazine isn't biased towards races. I wanted to show that Kpop is loved and appreciated by other races apart from Asians. Eleanor was perfect for this as she too loves Kpop so she had ideas how to pose and what to do.

      
 These are edited pictures for my contents page they will be used as mixes. Eleanor will be included in my contents page as a contest winner who got a Kpop make over. These are my most liked photos from the photo shoot which I have edited and I will be picking one for the final magazine. But I will analyse each one in more detail thinking about my audience, genre and what I want my magazine to be portrayed.

In this photo you can see her face behind her hands which denotes shyness. Her face is very relaxed and fresh. It also shows denotes girliness. But her outfit contrasts that as they're quite masculine. This photo is also taken at eye level which may show that she's an average who shouldn't be looked up to.

This pose is very girly and feminine which will work well for my target audience. The boys will find this cute and the girls will find this as an inspirational pose. The lighting is very good as you can see her face and outfit clearly. We can see more of her pink hair here but her hand is still covering it slightly.

This outfit is a lot more dull due to the jacket, however the bold pink highlights balances this out as it's clearly shown here. The cap's lettering also stands out more due to the darkness of the clothes. However against the white wall it's still washed out. Her pose here is very simple but effective. Her smile is very big which will radiate off to the readers.

A very unique pose with a bold facial expression. Her eyes are looking fiercely at the camera which my intimidate the readers. Her facial expressions looks too stiff and serious.

This next pose is very interesting which shows off her new "make over" as a Kpop idol. The lighting is perfect as we can distinctively see her face, make-up, hair and accessories. Her facial expression is very serious which might show the reader that she was serious about winning the contest. This is very appealing to the readers.

This is a very fun and happy image to look at which denotes that she was delighted to have won the contest. Her pose looks very comfortable and carefree. The 'Peace' sign makes her look very Korean and cute. I think I will choose this picture for the magazine.

Planning

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.
