I am really happy with my final magazine. I have stuck to my flat plans and only changed a few minor details, for example I planned to have the girl group sat down on a bench instead I just have a long shot of the girl group. All the models of the girl band were making full eye contact and smiling to connect with the reader/ buyer. Also pop is a very happy genre that is mirrored in the images. I chose the title 'I ♥ pop' to follow the theme of the popular iconic new york t-shirts that allot of young people will be able to relate to. I used hearts as much as I could in my magazine to elaborate the title of the magazine and add cohesion throughout the magazine, for example the photos in hearts on the contents page and the heart around the text 'contents'. From my feedback the only thing I would change is to add more colour to the backgrounds, possibly add more larger images and if there was possibility's to make more pages to the magazine include some double page spreads on latest pop music releases, other artists as well as pop fashion and celebrities.

This is my evaluation on a power point https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0BxKLKsQUugutYzRhYWY1OWItOWQyZS00MDAwLTk4M2QtNjE5MTljMTllYjRj&hl=en&authkey=CKLL3vQG
