PLANNING - Important and final changes


The most important factor after reflecting on my drafts and analysing my focus groups feedback is that the name of the magazine SPLASH is better suited to be MISS POP.

Front cover changes
- I added a price, the date and the website link to keep up with the conventions of the magazine.
-I matched up the pink triangle in the corner with the bottom box to make the page look more neat.
-I added more anchorage text to 'Rosa Deane'
-Real images along the bottom, to make the front cover look more realistic
-I changed the font to a more girly style to suit the genre of the magazine, also because it will appeal to the target audience.

Content page changes
-I Added more content, will appeal to the audience as many look at contents page when deciding to buy the magazine
-Editors note was a feature I discovered when doing my research, I thought it was an effective way to give the audience a quick insight in to what's included in the magazine.
-I used a variety of images to make the page more appealing, I tried to include as many real shots taken by either myself or other media students instead of the Internet to make it more realistic.
-I ensured the house style for the final piece was pink and blue to follow the house styles instead of pink and black



Double page spread changes
- to the house style colours of pink and blue
-brightened images, to make them look more high solution and perfect to suit the ideas that all pop stars are constructed and perfect (Richard Dyers theory)
-I added more detail to the double page spread by adding a black and white image to the back of the text of Rosa Deane.
-I decided to choose the page with the 4 images that follow the pop art style which mirrors the iconic pop art images
-added the word exclusive and page numbers to follow the feature of an exclusive feature double page spread on a band or artists typically included a exclusive interview with the star.


The pitch , target audience, audience demographic profile all remain the same.
