This is my pinterest mood board it includes the types of things i’d like to include in my magazine, it consists of the styles and different ideas I want my model to convey. The things that will portray my model in a certain way are clothing, hair and makeup. I also added colours and other inspiring magazine covers to help inspire me. I found making a mood board a great help it gave me a different view on my artist and it gave me a front seat view on things I need to keep the same.

This is a magazine cover for Q i have annotated it by identifying who the audience are and who would read it. 

I believe that they have made the cover photo aesthetically pleasing and well presented. They used the main things that people notice when looking at a magazine which includes the masthead, main cover line/star, plug, pug, captions, and so on. 

Their audience is mainly millennials or generation X , the people  that generally read this type of magazine are well educated people that have spear time to read and listen to different types of music, they are also a mid age which isn’t exactly overly old. I can notice that Q magazine use a very little amount of colour for example there main colours are red,white,black and a little yellow. I think that they’ve done well in making the contrast of these colours fit into the theme of the magazine. They’ve made sure that there is enough information on the front cover and it looks as if it’s going to entice the audience to read it. I believe that because it’s got a very busy front cover it will gain more people’s opportunities to buy it.  

In this exact poster I believe that it’s aimed at young teenage girls. The colours represent a very stereo typical image for a young girl, for example the pink blush effect and the purple flowers show a very elegant appearance, I also think the image of Ariana shows her natural beauty and shows the sweet side. The fact that the background is light and sugary states how girly this is.

I personally think that this poster really relates to teenage girls as it creates a really girly theme for example the pink represents sweetness and innocence. The flowers create prettiness, and the fact that she is positioned centre shows that she is centre of attention and she can relate to girls with her make up in a stereotypical view.
