Evaluation

Creating a questionnaire before and after i had produced my magazine has helped my to analyse how i could have improved where i went wrong and what bits i got right that woudl appeal to the audience.
I first decided that my magazine genre would be pop and would be aimed at younger girls, as i believe there arent many on the market directly aimed at that age focusung on that type of music.
Creating my mood board helped me think about what would be featured in teh magazine and how the artists would look. I decided i would us ethe stereotypical colour that symbloises 'girls' to make the magazine stand out and attract young girls.
My original main artists unfortunately couldnt go through with taking any more pictures for my front cover or article, however i learnt that i would need to make the pictures look more fun and funky for that age group and used this on creating the look for 'HeadCandy'. At first i struggled using photoshop to cut out my pictures and seperate them from the background, i found it hard to be so accurate about minor detail, however after practice it became easier and i was then able to add effect it hope to improve the proffessionalism of the pictures.
I took me quite a while also to create the fading pink effect on the front cover, i felt that teh colour would reflect the feminisim of the magazine. I made a spider diagram for coming up with names for the magazine, and i finally decided on the simple but shortest 'POP!' written in funky writing i think this name clearly gave away what genre the magazine was and was perfect for the age range.
