Inspirational Magazines

I googled some teen pop magazines to look at the layouts. I did this to get ideas for my magazine and to help me decide on my layout and colours. Here are some magazines that I found helpful.

I found this magazine helpful because it is very colourful and bright which draws the audience in. There is a lot of pink which I think is a perfect colour for a teen pop magazine. The main image is of a popular band which would make the audience want to buy the magazine. The whole cover is very bright and fun which is important for a teen pop magazine. This magazine was helpful to me because I now have a clear idea of what colours I want to use in my magazine. I has also helped me have an idea about sub-headings and how I want them to look and where I want them positioned.

This magazine isn't strictly a music magazine but the colour palette and layout is perfect for my magazine. The colours are very fun and girly. The layout is quite simple but it looks very interesting. I would like the layout of my magazine to be like this. However, I may add a few secondary images because teen pop music magazines are usually quite cluttered. This magazine has also used a very popular celebrity. This magazine has helped me decide on what type of image I want on my front cover. It has also helped me decide on colours for the background and how I want it to look.

Once again, this magazine has used a popular celebrity for the main image. I like how the main image looks like its coming out towards you. I like the layout of this magazine because it is quite simple but effective. It looks like it has a lot inside and it is very interesting. The colour palette isn't appropriate for my magazine, although I like how the background goes from being quite light at the top to being dark at the bottom. This magazine has helped me think about the layout and where I want things to be placed.


All of the main images on these magazine have been taken my professional cameras. They are all photo shoots and that makes the magazine look more professional. All of the backgrounds are just plain colours, although the last one uses a light colour and a dark colour and they gradually mix together. This makes the main image stand out more and also makes the magazine look more professional. All of these things has helped me decide on what I waznt my magazine to look like and where I want everything positioned.
