My Mock-Up Front Cover

This was my idea of my mock up front cover, I tried to develop the vintage look on it, but then on reflection I think the conventional bright, busy and fresh idea would be the better option. It not old would keep to the conventions but it would make the image look a great conventional piece that would be appealing to all readers. This image however doesn't abide by all of the usual pop magazine conventions. For example, pop magazines are usually bright, this is more of a neutral based idea that probably wouldn't be a iconic magazine.  The font is swirly and intricate and usually in the magazines the font is bold and has thick lettering to make it easy to read efficiently. The picture of the model isn't what you'd usually have either, she's pale and wearing neutral colours. This would be a good idea for a magazine if it was well established and you could 'get away' with ignoring the usual conventional ideas. It would also however suit the conventions of an indie magazine more. 

The maroon, pale pink and black coloring probably isn't entirely the colours that would suit a tweenage pop magazine for young teenagers because the blandness of the styles and colours probably wouldn't appeal much to them.

Then this is what I came up with as a mock-up that would fit the conventions of a usual pop magazine. For the tween age and fitting the tween usual conventions and what I would have to try and make my mock look like.
