What is Pop?

Pop music (abbreviation of "popular") is a genre of popular music which started in the 1950s, deriving from rock and roll. As a genre, pop music is very eclectic, often borrowing elements from other styles including urban, dance, rock, Latin and country.
The definition of pop music is purposefully flexible as the music that is identified as pop is constantly changing. At any particular point in time it may be easiest to identify pop music as that which is successful on the pop music charts. For the past 50 years the most successful musical styles on the pop charts have continually changed and evolved.

Mock-up 1

This is my first mock-up for my front cover. I chos ethis font because it is bold which makes it clear and easy to read. The font looks slightly like graffitti which reflects my genre of 'Funkyhouse' to a certain extent. My front image will be a boy smiling to reflect the happy lifestyle usually conveyed through funkyhouse music. The character will be wearing headphones in relation to music. I have planned to align my cover lines to the left of the magazine, to create organisation.
