Two Types of cover

A common theme in entertainment magazines are a clear ,masthead with the same font each week sometimes changing colour but never changing where it sits as well as this, there is strong celebrity culture in these magazines. They use photos of celebrities who are starring in popular shows and films in order to draw attention from people who enjoy that particular pop culture as well as draw in anyone who is a fan of the actors themselves on top of their traditional readers.

There are two different types of front cover which I am looking at to have as the same style for my front cover; firstly images used showing celebrities in character and costume is one of the styles of front covers I really like because it shows clearly the actor and clearly the reason why they are in the magazine. And secondly the type of front cover which I really like is the men in suits style, for instance still using celebrity idols which are doing something newsworthy however they are seen in suits rather than in character or in the style which there character is in. Either of these styles I would like to do however it is more feasible to get someone in a suit than it would be to sort out a set and costume as well as an actor to frame, rather than just getting someone in a suit to look sharp in front of a camera.

Stories on the cover/ in the contents page:

Podcasts:

These are a rising fashion with many people branching into podcasts in order to breach a larger audience as well as explore their own views with guest, and therefore allow a much more confidential and personal way for them to articulate themselves and what they love.

One podcast that I watch is the Misfits podcast which contains 6 guys from Australia, New Zealand and America and they create content on how their lives have changed and the involvement of life experience which have shaped who they are, they are so relatable in what they talk about, joke about, and do that it breaches the audience of the brief perfectly.

Films:

New films are coming out every year at a faster pace, as technology increases and more money is invested into film companies films come out faster, in order to be noticed in such an oversaturated market, the quality of films often comes up because it takes more than just to be cool looking in order to make a successful films. Therefore I believe I the contents page and on the front page having a link to the different new films coming out and which ones are worth the watch will sit well in a world where currently cinema and film is a growing culture amongst younger audiences.

Example of a new film which will be quite big and hopefully of high production value is Once upon a time in Hollywood.

TV shows:

New TV shows are coming out all the time some good and some bad, there is a tv series for everyone and with so many to choose from people are able to choose the exact type they want to watch, as well with all of the new shows which come out there needs to be someone to inform and allow people to know whether they are even worth 20 minutes into the first episode of the pilot or if they should just be skipped altogether therefore stories like this I believe could work.

Music:
Up and coming music artists, talk about types of music that are going out and types of music which are coming in. This could also link into artists who are making weird and obscure music which is becoming more popular for instance; Billie Eilish or Lil NasX. Therefore with using trendy music as well as trendy artist the magazine with stories about these types of music and artists will be hitting the exact 16-24 age range in the brief therefore hitting the perfect demographic and not just being there because its popular.
