Production Values

Quality of images : I want it to have a grainy, low quality 90s/2000s camera quality style to create authenticity

Price : Cheap (£2.50?)

Glossy/matt - matte (historical authenticity)

CGI/SFX- Lots of colourful, poppy overlays/graphics around the models

Clothing, hair and makeup - Professionally done, fully done-up (complete glam makeup, styled hair), emphasises femininity and shows the high budget since that had a styling team hired.        Positioning/expression/body language - Positioning and expression should be outward, enthusiastic, and high-energy. Smiling, arms out, flattering poses

Setting/background - solid block colour

Fonts - BOLD, cartoonish/fun/bubbly

Colours - Very vibrant, warm colours. Pink, orange, purple

Ideology : POWERFUL FEMININITY!!!

Product 2

There were very few examples of pop-mag websites from the decades that I have chosen, so I will be combining the generic layout of the menu and content on a music-mag website with the style of girly 2000s flashgames, using vibrant colours and lots of flashy graphics, in order to keep the feel of the website similar to the magazine. I will use the logo of the publishing house/record label, links that allow the viewer to "purchase" issues of the magazine, and use images that show behind-the-scenes shots of the photoshoots, and potentially clips that introduce the band. I will also use links to social media, as many mags do to promote their material.
