Magazine Contents mockup & Proposed masthead

My Contents page mock-up

The above image is reflective of the type of look and layout I wish for for my blog. I propose that all of the images I use, which are taken for the purpose of being used upon my contents page are taken against a white background and are presented in a torn fashion. In case this is not clear the type of look I am going for is mirrored in the image below, from a recent music video.

I feel this gives the contents page a contemporary, quirky edge and reflects the kooky, fun nature of pop music (as it was essential upon reflection of the results from my questionnaire, that my magazine maintained this quality). On one hand, choosing to display my contents page in such a fashion will put more pressure upon the amount of photos needed, but I feel this is a small price in order to obtain the look and feel that is needed for this magazine to maintain a consistent approach towards pop throughout.

My logo mock-up

The two images above show the type of look I am hoping to achieve through the masthead of the magazine. The choice for this name and colour scheme, came, following the questionnaire results, in which it was clearly shown that the magazine needed to maintain a teen friendly, bright design. This is when the decision to use a slang term came into my head, in that he phrase "OMG!" is automatically identifiable by a teenage audience and so it is obvious straight away who the magazine's target audience is and the tone of the magazine.
