My article presents the model on the front cover but in a different pose and choice of costume to create variation for the reader. I have included writing that involves trivia about a band member that would be conventional for a music magazine because readers want to know details about their favourite bands and members. I adapted the logo for the magazine into the name of the article so the layout is similar but with slight variations.

My contents page focuses on the idea of simplicity because the target audience for my magazine is teenagers and young adults therefore they want to be able to access the information they want easily.

The images offer a different form of context from the front cover so there is variation for the reader.

I have included captions on the two images and titles on the contents information for an organised structure.

This is my final front cover for my magazine.  I have included influences from my chosen style model but at the same time challenged conventions and adapted my own original style in terms of layout and colour scheme.

The reason I chose this colour scheme to work with was because I have never seen these colours in a music magazine of this genre so I wanted to break away from existing work in order to make mine original and interesting.

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Distribution is an important stage in selling my magazine therefore I think that I need to identify a publishing company that is suited for my magazine. I think Bauer media will be the best option because it has rights to over 80 media brands, which include magazines like Kerrang that are in a similar music genre to my magazine. It has also appealed to celebrities in the industry and this could be profitable exposure for publishing my magazine. The media company would be able to present my magazine to over 19 million customers in the UK alone and the idea that readers are involved with the company to project their own ideas and opinions on existing and future products could be beneficial if I were to use this publishing company.
