Improvements

Due to the feedback that I have received, I chosen to focus mainly on my layout, typography and pictures. Today I have looked at a range of new fonts and have chosen new ones to add into my magazine, I have started on the improvements on my cover by changing my masthead, I have made my masthead look more 3D by putting another masthead behind my other one. I choosen to add another colour to my colour pallette now making my colour palette pink, purple, white and black.

Publishing

I the institution that would publish my magazine would be Prometheus Global Media, I think that my magazine would fit in well at Prometheus Global Media as they also publish Billboard magazine, that is also a pop music magazine and I have also taken lots of inspiration from billboard magazine so this adds to the fact that it would well at Prometheus Global Media. However my magazine is also different to Billboard magazine as it also focuses on fashion and real life and not just music so it would stand out

Pitch Evaluation and Responce to comments

I think my pitch went well and I received some feedback that has helped me develop my ideas for my magazine further. I feel that my magazine was well received and I feel confident with carrying my idea. I received some feedback on my title ideas and someone said that tune would not be a good idea and i have taken this into account and decided to call my magazine Beats.
Colour Palettes: I have decided to use the colour scheme of black, white, pink and purple. I am using these colours as I feel that they were well received in my pitch and they will fit in with the style of my magazine and the colours can also be used to make certain texts stand out.
Cover: I have decided to use the rule of thirds for my cover as this will help draw the audiences eye to certain parts of the cover, on the cover I will be using a female model, and it will be a mid shot,as using this shot I will be able to show the audience the models clothes but without drawing to much attention away from her face.
Cost: I am retailing my magazine at £3.50 as I feel that this is a appropriate price for a monthly music magazine.

After thinking about a range of different names I have decided to call my magazine Beats, this is because it ties in with the beat of the music and people would recognize this and see straight away that this is a music magazine
