Chosen Adverts

I would like to put these two adverts into my pop music magazine as I think that they would be suitable for my target audience and mission statement. My mission statement is ‘a magazine that believes in pop women and empowering women,’ my target audience is young and strong women who enjoy becoming reading about independent women. The first advert would appeal to my demographic and reflect my mission statement well as it features a young women who has just brought out a pop music album, looking rather fierce, this will encourage my magazines audience to want to buy and listen to her album. The second advert for my magazine would appeal to my target audience as they are predominantly people who may wear makeup, and it is a makeup brands advert.

These are all three components for my finish music magazine.

I have corrected the positioning of coverlines on my front cover, changed some fonts, changed the background colour, added in some more colours and added in another coverline. In my contents page I have changed the background colour, repositioned my masthead and contents title, and changed some fonts, added in any missed punctuation and included some logos for brands in my contents page. I added in more quotes and graphics, changed up the colour palette and sizing and colours of the article title to make it stand out more on my double page spread.

Second Shoot Contact Sheet

These are the photos for my second photo shoot. This shoot did not go as well as the first as I was not as well prepared and struggled to find good positions for my model. However, I think the costume and hair worked well to convey the pop genre and the star image I wanted to portray to my target audience.

This is my favourite image from the shoot as I feel it portrays the character I wanted it to, the mise en scene of this photo is exactly how I wanted it to be and conveys the genre well. Using her jewellery as a prop in some of the images added something to them and helped to create a story. However the shape and positioning of her wrist means I cant use this image. The image that I use will be featured on my contents page as it links to one of my coverlines.

Draft Feature Article

This is my first draft for my double page spread article:

Chloe Peel is a 17 year old singer songwriter from a tiny island called Guernsey. She first rose to fame a few months ago overnight when a video of her singing an original song went viral on the social media app, TikTok. Her brand new album has now got 1 million spotify streams, in less than a week!

This weekend, I took a trip to Chloe Peels studio apartment in the city centre of london. She invited me in, offered me a coffee, and we began to talk. Peel says that growing up she was always ‘teased and bullied’ for her passion to sing, she felt embarrassed to join her school choir or even sign up to talent shows in fear of getting picked on. However, as soon as she shut her bedroom door, she became the star she dreamed of being. At just 15 years old, Chloe joined the extremely popular short video app; tiktok. In about a year her anonymous account had gained almost 50 thousand followers by posting videos of her original songs, until overnight, one blew up. In a matter of hours Chloe’s tiktok account had two million followers and her emails were filled with music producers and managers wanting to work with her. After a few meetings with said producers and managers, Peel and her team began writing and creating her first ever album. The album is inspired by a recent split from Chloe’s childhood sweetheart that left her ‘heartbroken,’ her method in writing was to ‘put all emotions down on the paper,’ Peel said this helped her create her art as well as get over the sad breakup. Her family and friends were her biggest supporters during her heartbreak and rise to fame, when asked what she will be doing with her new found fortune, Peel replied ‘I will spoil my mum rotten.’ Chloe’s biggest musical inspirations feature artists like Rihanna and SZA as she loves their ‘vibe’ as well as their music. At only 17 years old, Chloe and her music has become a sensation.  After a few months of creating, within a week of the final album dropping on spotify, it had almost a million streams, while Chloe’s instagram page has received over four million followers. Over it! is currently at spot three on the top 40 charts and with no doubt will continue to grow. Chloe’s message to teenagers across the country is ‘to not give up due to embarrassment or other people’s opinions, if you enjoy a hobby, why give it up? It may become more than a hobby one day.’ Us at PopWomen believe that Chloe Peel is going to go a lot further in these next few years or even months. The future is bright for this young pop star and I’m sure she can inspire many more young people to follow their dreams.

In next week’s article, we’ll see how far over it! has gotten in the UK’s charts, and how Chloe is handling her new found popularity. Will she hit number one? Will her name be one of the many released grammy nominees? Has the inspiration of the album been in contact?

This is my recording of my first draft, I recored it so it is easy to see any mistakes that may need changing.

This is my final and edited draft for my double page spread article on my cover star:
