As feedback, I was told that it would be best to choose cover with the crayon effect as it looked a little more creative and original. I had to tighten the line spacing of the cover line '25 stars who changed the world'. I also had to cut off a curve on the 'C' in 'Christmas Special' as it went off the page. The bar code had to be improved with a price. On the bottom, the 'P' on Plus' had to line up with the 'U' in 'Usher'. I couldn't use the images as 'Free Posters' as they were copyright. Finally, the green can that the model was holding was a bit too casual, meaning I had to get rid of it.
For my second draft, I might just use a different photo. This would mean I'd have to almost everything as a different picture would mean a different colour scheme and structure.

First Draft of Music Magazine
There are two drafts that I made. They are both very similar. The only difference is the font of the title. I didn't know which one to choose yet so I put up both for now.

A Change of Plan...
Unfortunately, I was too sick to come into school so I missed the date for the photo shoot. It was the only date me, Alicia and Polina were free. I tried to find other models but it was not possible. I then looked through pictures that I took at a party a few months ago as I remembered some were quite useful and many people, at the time, were dressed up. Luckily, I found a few... like this one of Polina.
However, it was hard trying to find ones with space around the model and followed the 'rules' of magazine covers. This image and the one on my draft were my last two options.

An Inspirational Video
Here is a video that I thought inspired me to do this genre. It also gave insight to the different artists. It's a mash-up video of the pop songs in 2008...

Pop Genre
After researching both genres, I've decided to choose Pop. It is a lot more recent and a very broad genre. I can do many things with it and there are more artists I know in this genre that I could use as inspiration.

Importance of Fonts
F O N T S
During our media lessons, we learnt about the different types of fonts and their common uses.
ABC
Serif Font
(Times New Roman, Garamond)
Serif fonts have the curve at the end of each letter. This type of font is usually used for large amount of texts as they are easy to read.
ABC
Sans Serif
(Arial, Gill Sans Mt)
Sans serif means without the curve. This is used for more formal writing or bold headings.
ABC
Script style font
(French Script MT, Segoe Script, Freestyle Script)
This font is like handwriting; fluent and quite comfortable. It could bring elegance to the written work, or it could be used for casualness. They are not really easy to read, so preferably used in big sizes.
A Decorative font
(karabineE, Bleeding cowboys)
These types of fonts are used for only a few words to add emphasis on them. Usually used for special headings or captions.
