Change of mind


I have chosen to change the front cover by taking off the three bars which used to be located on the very left hand side of the page. Instead I have just left it blank which made it look more professional. I have also re-edited the main image as the colour was too vibrant and it was pixelated.

Changes made on the DPS and contents page


Due to the comment I received, I needed to take advantage of the space within the Double Page Spread. So I have chosen to delete the previous photo and input these 2 other ones. On the other hand I had to delete the main image on my contents page as it's the same one. I am now choosing a different image to put on the contents page.


Here you can see that I have changed the image on my contents page. I chose this image as I thought that it shows Miss A's talent.

After a few hours of looking at it and not being satisfied, I felt that the use of a bright yellow for the editors notes and the subscription box was unattractive. This is where I then decided to use a red box instead which I felt better about it. By doing so, I had to change the text colour from black to white which was very refreshing to the eyes. This means that my readers will be able to read this with no trouble which I hope they will appreciate.

Double page spread


Here you can see I haven't fully finished my DPS because I haven't added the page number, strap-line and photography credit.



Understanding more about being a Kpop Star

1. Look out for videos and reports from music companies scouting new trainees such as this:

2.  Audition by sending a video or going to the scouting centres (Dancing, singing or specializing in an instrument)

Here are some auditions of KPop stars:
Taemin from SHINee (SM Entertainment)
Park Bom from 2NE1 (YG Entertainment)
Min - an new trainee (JYP)

3.  If you get picked, you go through further processes and become what they call a ‘trainee’ this means you move to Korea and go to college there. The recording companies such as YG Entertainment, SM Entertainment or JYP pay for all your needs like food, housing (dorms) and extra classes such as acrobatics.

4.  It takes a few years of training before you debut if you do not debut you pay the company back everything they spent on you.
Here is a video about life being a JYP trainee:

K-Pop Hits America

Here is a video about K-pop dominating the music industry in America. This shows how K-pop is starting to become more popular overseas. It wouldn't be surprised that by late 2013 we start to hear some K-pop songs on our local radio.
