This is the front cover for my music magazine. The mast head reads 'Star music' this identifies my magazine as a music magazine it also gives my magazine a brand so if my audience want to buy it again its easily recognisable. The pink and green splash of colour over the black and white background presents the magazine as a pop music magazine, as does the picture  (reasons in the post before). The black and white effect on the picture i believe makes the product look more professional. I have used the typical convention of the left hand side so that when my product is on the shelf it can draw attention without having to be picked up which may be some hassle for the consumer. Rosey is looking at the camera which makes the consumer think they are important which will attract the buyer. As of yet my product doesnt have a bar code however this will be corrected. 

My friend Rosey i feel has quite an edgy rock/pop star look shes always experimenting with different looks/ outfits so i felt she'd be the perfect candidate to be my mock pop star. This is the photograph i have taken of her and plan to use in my magazine. She looks attractive and i feel her hair and makeup is the perfect mise en scene im going for which is a rock/ pop chick. The head and shoulder shot fits nicely too as most of the magazines i have researched use this shoy
