I have found some websites that I could refer back to when I am planning my outfits for my magazine photoshoot:

I have also created a Pinterest board for Ariana Grande's makeup style:

I am updating this board every time I see a new picture I could take inspiration from.
I have also done this for her hairstyles:

Clothing/ Make up Inspiration Mood Board: Female

For my Female clothing and make up inspiration, I looked online at shops like Topshop, Miss Selfridge, and Primark for ASOS. Just like for the male clothing inspiration I have stuck to Highstreet brands and easily accessible shops only, because they are cheaper than the more High end products. I have chose dresses for my inspiration, because they are really feminine, you can get a dress to suit anyone, they are really universal so you can wear them in both the Summer and the Winter and even the months in between. I have also chose dresses, because the magazine pop genre is aimed at girls. The make up I have chose for my inspiration is more on the natural side and less of the big dramatic stage make up, with lots of make up involved. I have chose this, because again the magazine is aimed at a younger audience of girls who may be just learning about make up, and they don't feel comfortable with a lot of make up on just yet. The make up is based on a technique which big fashion companies like Burberry do quite well, it's the 'no make up, make up' or the 'barely there make up', it's used to enhance your features but not look as if you're wearing much make up at all. This would appeal to the reader, because this make up style has been seen on people like YouTube Beauty blogger, Tanya Burr, and Demi Lovato in her 'Made in the USA' music video, who may inspire some readers of different pop magazines.

Clothing Inspiration Mood Board: Male

This is the inspiration moodboard I will reflect on only if I decide to use a male model in my magazine. I have took styling ideas from the likes of One Direction, The Vamps and Conor Maynard. This is because they all have a relaxed, boy next door kind of vibe to their clothing choices, on and off photoshoots and video shoots. The main style I have chose the males of my magazine to wear is more relaxed: jeans, t-shirt and a jacket. I have done this, because it makes the reader think that they are still 'the boys next door' and not the celebrities that they really are. I have also done this, because it will be really easy to recreate these looks at home, because I have chose to put them in Highstreet brands or cheaper brands only, by doing this I have given the reader a more realistic budget option. The clothes I have chosen would be comfier than a suit all of the time, but I have also included suits, because of the press images that you would find in a magazine from a new movie premier of something similar.

Double Page Spread Inspiration Mood Board

On my double page spread inspiration mood board, the images I have mainly included are of interviews of different artists of the pop genre, because that would normally be the feature of the magazine readers normally look for, because they are classed as "exclusive interviews" which would make any fans, of whoever the interviews about, want to read the magazine. I have also done this so I could see the general layout of an interview and see how the interview flowed. I will use these images when creating and writing my own article for my magazine. All of the double page spreads I have taken from pop magazines, because that is the music genre I am basing my own magazine on. When looking at double page spreads out of pop magazines, I am looking closely at the favourite colours to be used in a pop magazine. This would link to the target audience, because the colours that have been used in previous issues are all feminine colours and quite bright colours, apart from the main text which is normally just black.

Contents Page Inspiration Mood Board

On my mood board for the contents page I have included mainly existing contents pages from magazines like We Love Pop, Top of the Pops and Billboard. I added these to my mood board, because it would help me and give me inspiration for the layout and colour scheme I could use for my own magazine. I have also put a Teen Now front cover on my contents page mood board, because the colours used are feminine and would fit in with my intended target audience. Like on the front cover mood board I have put my own version of the 'Inside your mag...' which you would normally get at the top of a contents page, I also got this off a font generator. The already existing contents pages I put on my mood board are there to show me the expected contents page of a pop magazine and the expected layout of it.

My Front Cover Inspiration Mood Board

I have created a mood board full of my front cover inspiration, I have looked closely at existing front covers of different music magazines for my inspiration. My biggest inspiration is the way that the models have been posed, because it gives me an idea of how I could pose my models when I do my own photoshoot to help me create my music magazine. I have also been on a font generator for my Masthead inspiration which is in the top left hand corner, I think this font would appeal to the target audience, because even though it's plain and black, it still has the feminine touch to it, because it has the flicks at the end of the letters I also chose this font, because it reminds me of an autograph that a celebrity would give a fan. I think will add more of a personal touch to the magazine. I will incorporate some of these ideas into my work when creating my own magazine. I dislike how cluttered the 'We Love Pop' front cover is, I will not be using this technique for my magazine. I want my magazine to be able to be read by teenage girls between the ages of 13- 18. The main inspirations for my magazine on this post are the two 'Billboard' front covers, this is because the background is almost the same colour I want my background to be, and the main image is the same, with it being a medium close up of the model.

My Inspiration Mood Board

I have produced a mood board for the music genre I have selected to base my magazine on. I have collected my research and I have found that all magazines of the pop genre involve bright, feminine colours like pink, purple, light blue etc. This would suit the demographic,because for a pop magazine the demographic would generally be a female audience. I have also added pictures of the types of people who would be seen in this genre of magazine, like The Vamps, Demi Lovato and One Direction. For the font, I have chose fonts that would be associated with females, because the magazine is targeted at them. I have also done this because it would be more appealing to the demographic and its what they would expect when buying a pop magazine. I will take in all of these aspects for when I'm ready to produce my own magazine.
