I have used an image of the editor on the editors note to make it more personal, so the audience can relate to the magazine.

Use of columns and the different colours for the questions and answers

Using different colours in the title and also the length of the title

The size of the title is smaller to be able to fit it in the space I wanted it to go

I have used a few things from other pop music magazines that I have looked at during the making of my own pop music magazine.

I have also developed a few things that I have seen on other magazines and gave it a different style to be able to fit in more with my style and colour scheme

I haven’t challenged many things from pop music magazines, although I have challenged at least one item on each of my 3 pages.
