Typical Reader Profile
My typical reader would be Beth Burrows who is aged 17 and is interested in the latest fashion and pop culture. She lives in middle England and is assertive in gaining information on latest media exclusives, such as interviews with celebrities, mainly pop artists. She prefers mainstream female artists such as Lady Gaga, Christina Aguilera and Beyonce who are independent women who have built a successful career for themselves. As well as mainstream fashion, Beth also takes inspiration from 1940s-60s pin up girls who have a unique sexy style and likes to see it incorporated into modern style, most preferably Christina Aguilera who adds a twist onto the pin up theme. Beth has a disposable income and likes to spend her money on magazines that offer unique information and has a innovative style. She takes inspiration from these artists and likes when they adopt certain themes in their magazine shoots, such as pin up or a candy theme. Beth also likes it when males are featured especially sex symbols such as Zac Efron or Channing Tatum. If a particular article fascinates her, she will also tell her friends or add feedback on the internet about the article. She also would also buy sucscriptions if a magazine appeals to her directly, her main preferences are Billboard and POP magazine; which provide inspiration as well as interesting content.

(a) Different title ideas
- POPHEART - just the idea that pop music is loved by all
- BEATS - Just relates to the music lexis of a beat within a song/normally the key structure in a song
- MM - Stands for 'Marilyn Monroe' who was a symbol of women and a iconic singer of the time/also relates to style that is a 60s modern twist to it
- ROLLER - relates to rollers which were a popular hair platform to style a woman in the past (and still is)/signifies the image of styling yourself and being who you want to be
(b) Variety of fonts you like
2. I chose this font out of my favourites as I admire to Art Deco style to it which relates to the theme of my magazine being inspired from the 1940s-60s. The spacing also gives it a balanced look to the font and would compliment other fonts that have a close kerning.
3. This is one of my favourite Serif fonts as the curved lettering gives it a theatrical look and I think it would look better if it were all in capitals. This is so my magazine can stand out and I also think that there is no other fonts similar to this in the magazine industry at the moment.
4. I chose this sans serif font because I liked the elongated lettering which gives it an American appeal which I would like to be present in the theme of my magazine. It also emits a Western style to it which I like but I am not sure if it would fit the theme of my magazine.
(c) Colour pallettes
- Light blue, red, white
- Pink, red, white
- Military green, red, white
(d) Ideas for content layout
- A long shot image of cover artist/text down the left hand side and smaller images of outtakes on the right
- or either
- A image in the middle of the page with text below in split colums/title above
- Interview with cover artist - Good Girl vs. Bad Girl (Public vs. Private life of the cover artist in the music industry)
- Or an article about how iconic artists and sex symbols have shaped pop culture and pop artists today, such as Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garland, and how they continue to inspire.
(f) Who will be on your front cover? - style, costume etc and why
- A female - an up and coming artist
- A female - an up and coming artist paying tribute to their icon, e.g. Marilyn Monroe
- She will have a pin-up style hair with short a-line dress (a colour that will match my desired 3 colour palette scheme) and heels with bright lipstick. It will be a modern pin-up style to fit in with the young women intended audience.
