Initial Ideas and Institution

Initial Ideas:
I initially had the masthead name as Vision. However, I have now changed it to Amplify as I feel this better suites the genre style of my magazine. I will have my masthead in a fairly large font to continue to follow typical conventions of other music magazines. The style of font used for my masthead will be a classic san-serif font, which is also the style Billboard use for their masthead.

The content in my pop magazine was also based on the results I got from my Survey Monkey. The most popular subjects out of the four were music articles, American artists and English artists. I believe this content sticks to the typical codes and conventions of other music magazines, including Billboard who regularly feature both trending English and American artists. I will have relevant and trending artists featured throughout my magazine with relating articles explaining their personal life and life as a pop artists.

My DPS topic will ultimately feature the artist shown on my front page. This is a typical convention of a music magazine where they show their main artist featured on their front cover and use their DPS to write more information about them. The page will feature a Q&A, with questions based on their currant song, personal life and how they came to being the pop artist they are now.
The colour palette of this page will stick to the professional, dark secondary colours I will use on my front cover. However, I will use a more bright, primary colour for the colour of some of the text based on a colour from their clothing. I took this idea from one of Billboards DPS featuring Rita Ora. I liked how the colour of the text matched a certain colour which was featured on her, creating a professional style to this page. Also, having a bright colour in front of a dark background will allow the headline and other small text prints to stand-out more effectively to the reader.

Institution:
The publisher of my magazine will be Prometheus Global Media. I have chosen these publishers based on the magazine I am taking inspiration from, Billboard, who also have PGM as their magazine publishers. This allows me to follow Billboards typical conventions, allowing a more professional style to my magazine.
