POP magazine


POP Magazine

1. POP magazine is a relatively new magazine; 'co-founded in 2000 by Ashley Heath and Katie Grand. The initial creative directors for the magazine were Lee Swillingham and Stuart Spalding. They left in 2008 along with Katie Grand to establish rival magazine LOVE. 

Pop has now relaunched in an online digital format as THEPOP.COM. The first issue under new management was released on 1 September 2009. Dasha Zhukova was hired as editor-in-chief with Ashley Heath as the Editorial Director and David Girhammar as an editor
It is produced bi-annually.' (Wikipedia, 2015).

The reason I like POP magazine is the combination of fashion and art on its pages. They never have a plain photo there's always another element which is something that sets it aside from other magazines.
 I would say its aimed at 20-30 year olds, as it quite funky and out there.

2. Kate Moss on the cover of POP Autumn 2006 issue. I love the styling in this cover, there's the angelic wings teamed with the dark heavy eyes, portraying heaven and hell, along with Kate being topless, but covering her modesty  with her arms as she is praying, once again depicting heaven and hell, it's very cleverly done. I love the bleached brows combined with the gold and jewels.  


3. Britney Spears collaborated with Japanese artist Takashi Murakami on this cover. It's so authentically Japanese and cheesy, and I think the look works really well on her. It's typical manga sort of make-up, pale skin, along with doll like features, with emphasis on the eyes.


4. Sienna miller features on this cover, I lovee the make-up on this cover, the blocked out eyebrows are done so well and I love the new design, its so weird but somehow really suits her, the straight eyeliner also ties in really well. The way she has her hands on the sides of her face looks as though she's stretching her face back adding even more emphasis on the dramatic make-up. The red lips set the whole look off even more I think it needed that pop of colour, and they have cleverly made the font on the cover the same colour.
