Here are some images that I collected from Pinterest. They are a very good representation of the sort or themes and layouts I would like to include in my own magazine. Doing this really inspired me and gave me ideas of how my magazine could look and what it could include. I found images from brands with different  features. Whilst looking through Pinterest I noticed that there are a lot Indie related images and a lot of them are of younger generations, this shows us that Indie is becoming more popular again. This also helped me get a better understanding of the audience. I noticed quite a few different layouts that I would like to try out and pick one to use in my magazine. I’ve also noticed the bright colour theme and after looking at each image it is clear how important colour is to connote different meanings.

On the first slide, there is some research I did on Billie Eilish. I was finding what aspects of her life ‘ordinary’ people have been able to relate to and what part of her life make her ‘extraordinary’. Therefore, the paradox of the start was whether they were ‘ordinary’ or ‘extraordinary’. I would say that Billie is an artist that most people can relate to in some way. She is very inspirational, especially to teenagers as Billie Eilish is 18 years old herself and is already a big success. I looked at quotes she made, new articles, headlines, awards, song lyrics and things she had participated in. Each one of these denotes and connotes different meanings to shows what she is like as a person. Looking at this information has really helped me gain knowledge on what I need to do to make my star come across the correct way. I has also helped me with the conventions of my magazine.

The second slide shows some of the ideas I have got from doing this research and would like to therefore include in my magazine.
