drafting and planning- first draft

Although this is my first draft i know there is room for improvement and there are things i will need to improve to make sure my final magazine is attractive and professional. i looked into similar loking content pages located in similar posts, this http://snoweasmedia.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/organisation-content-page.html this has helped me organise what my magazine contents page could look like. Here i have created a contents page, in which i have used my images from my photography from the 7th of January http://snoweasmedia.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/photography.html. i have used a 'cosmic' background as used the image of space because I believe it looks very appealing and eye catching, this was also used because i wanted bright and illuminating colours that would grab the reader attention, the different colours used such as green, white, purple, blue, red ,pink and turquoise from this image of space has allowed me to experiment and show that my contents page will be colourful as i am relating this to pop on a whole, i am relating this to pop because the pop industry is not a very dark place, it is colourful and vibrant and the music they present is very much given off as positive vibes, therefore i use the different vibrant colours to relate to pop music. I have organised where i would like my contents to be and to tell the audience what pages to go to. the images chosen are very specific because i wanted him to look natural therefore i have chosen 2/3 smiling pictures this is what a typical pose of pop artists use, i have chosen a serious picture in the top right because i wanted the audeocne to be drawn in to think why is he looking so long-faced? is there something wrong? all these questions bring attention as he gives off another vibe that he wants to focus on re-establishing himself. i would like to relate this single image out of the three to Justin Bieber as he gives a similar vibe in his attitude and photo shoots.

for the front cover page i have used the image from the photo shoot, i have chosen this specific image because it has shown clear direct address which creates a relationship between star and target audience. i used the prop of the earphones to relate to my target audience because alot of teens carry round ear phones. my double page spread i have created to inform the reader about the star which will be used in my final magazine double page spread.
