My logo/ Pink Publishings

P ink P ublishings

I have named my company name ‘pink publishing’s’.  I have done this because I think it relates to my target audience.  My target audience is teen girls, and everyone knows that pink is a girly colour.  I have also created a logo for my company which is this picture of a heart with ‘pp’ in the middle. This obviously means ‘Pink Publishing’s’ . I wanted my logo to be simple so that it is easily recognisable, like some big company logos like ‘Facebook’ and ‘Twtitter’.

My Ideas For my Contents Page!

My ideas for my front cover

My second written analysis on a pop magazine's double page spread!

For my second written analysis on a pop magazine’s double page spread, I have chosen this story about famous pop singer and actor ‘Selena Gomez’. This double page spread was written by the well-known pop magazine ‘Top of The Pops’ which target audience is for teen girls.

The first thing that catches my eyes when looking at the pages was the large picture of her which is printed over both pages. The use of camera angle and positioning of image has been well thought of and really makes the page more interesting! Then the uses of text boxes which have been scattered around the picture also add flavour to the page and make it unique. This page layout really stands out and is different than the usual ‘one picture on one page’ layout.

Another element of this page which catches my eye is the bold text. It has been printed in large black font on top of a white background so that it stands out more to the reader.  Each text box has been split into subjects and they have their own information in each separate box. Compared to the other magazine this one really uses the picture well to create layout, for example her body is at the bottom right corner and one of her left is at the top left of the page

I think the magazine uses good colours to show its target audience and really sticks to their genre ‘pop’. It also sticks by the target audience a genre by having the article about this particular celebrity because she is a pop singer and a girl, so the page can be full of girly information about her.

 Just like any other double page spread, this one has images and good use of layout which makes it good to look at. It also has the usual convention which is, having a page number at the bottom of each page.
