Main task: Planning: Locations & Health and Safety

Locations & Health and Safety

Front Cover:

For my location I am going to use as my background either a brick wall or a plain background, I want to use the brick wall because it can be used as a different sort of background or the plain wall because this will give off a more professional photo shoot.  I will get my models to come to wear I have decided to take the pictures and also use the props. I am going for the model to look like she has a slight attitude and also a nice side to her so she will go well with my target audience.

Double Page Spread:

For my double page I have decided on having the two models I picked on this, the background I want to have the models in a woody area, I have decided this because I want it to look different from other music magazines and hopefully this will attract my target audience to the magazine. 

Because these have been taken around my land I don't need permission for these pictures to be taken or for any of the pictures I use in my magazine.

Main task: Planning: Background, Font and Names

Background, Font and Names
Background: 
For my background on the front cover I have decided to either use a brick wall or a blank background. The blank background would let the model to stand out from the rest, the brick wall will give off a slight attitude and also a different sort of background compared to other magazines. 



Magazine Names: 
My name for my magazine I want it to appeal to my target audience and also something that would attract them if they saw it in a shop. I want it to also show that the magazine is based on music and the genre pop, so then the readers know straight away what the magazine is all about. 



Fonts: 
For the font I want it to stand out when you first pick up the magazine one of the things you notice is the title, because of the style of font I have used.

For the other pages of my magazine I want the text to still be the same but stand out less, the text will be simple so people can read it easy and don't have a hard time reading it

Main Task - Costumes And Props

Front Cover
On the front cover I will use Beckie and make the picture look like a proffessional photo-shoot. I like the way Beckie was dressed for when I was deciding which model to use, I think her quirky fashion should be kept on the proper front cover. I have decided that Beckie will wear slightly formal outfit that shows off her style, she will wear black high waisted shorts or I might use leggings, a button up top, a blazer and to make the whole outfit look a little bit casual a pair of black pumps. I have decided to base it on one of my favourite aritsts front cover, Cher Lloyd. I will be using a prop on the front cover of my magazine the prop will be Beckie holding a camera. 

Double Page Spread

For my double page spread I will use Beckie and this time add Chloe into the magazine. This time they will be stood in the middle of a group of trees, the trees will be used as props for the picture. For what they will be wearing will be related to my target audience, I want my target audience to see what their wearing and go out and buy some of the items. The clothing idea is basically what my target audience will buy if they saw it in their favourite shop. I have decided to keep what Beckie is wearing the same, Chloe I am going to create what she wears. 

For what Chloe wears I am going to use some of her fashion sense in this photo. I hve decided that she will wear an oversized jumper, a shirt underneath and leggings, all of this will be completed with a pair of converses. I have decided to use two different looks to show what two different individuals fashion sense. This will go well with my target audience because some of them may choose this casual look and then make it more interesting by adding a twist

 I created a plan of the costumes and props in Microsoft word, this show what the costume/prop is, where the source is from, the potential cost and the person in charge.

    

Main Task - Planning - Performers And Casting

For my front cover of my magazine I want to create a proffessional photoshoot feel of a typical popular music magazine. I casted two models for the role of the artist. I have casted Beckie Price and Chloe Stokes as my models. I have chosen these two because I think they will be suitable for my target audience, they are the type people would use as a role model and look up to them. 

The model above Beckie Price I have decided to use because she shows her individual style that people would use for inspiration. I think she also fits in with the genre conventions in the audience profile. Her fashion sense shows that she is a radical and that she likes to stand out with what she wears, I think she gives off the look and would be suitable for my target audience and magazine. 

We these two models I have decided to only use one in my magazine. To decide on which model I will use I looked at: 

• Which one my target audience will look up to. 
• Which one my target audience would use for inspiration in what they wear.
• Which one my target audience would like to know if they could.

Taking all this into account I have decided to use Beckie as my model for my front cover of my magazine. Chloe I may use on my double page spread because I think she would fit well. I will arrange a meeting with the models to discuss what they need to wear for and what props to bring for when I need the proper pictures.

Main Task - Audience Profile

Audience Profile

For my final magazine I have decided to make a music magazine about pop music, my target audience will be for achievers, the people who want to achieve a lot in life and also radicals that like to stand out from everything. Because my magazine is targeted at young people they would hedonists, to play and enjoy life now. These are in the B-C section in the Jicnars scale. 

My target audience will: 

• Socialise with their friends.
• Prefer going out and having fun. 
• Make their own trends.
• Creative

The pop artist that my target audience are more tend to listen to is Bruno Mars, Cher Lloyd, One Direction and much more. Their fashion style would take inspiration from their favourite singer or band. They like to have the similarities to the artist but also add their own twist to it. They do try and put make up on the same way, they want to show off what they can do and also stand out in the process. Their style icons would be Cher Lloyd, Taylor Swift, The Saturdays, Jessie J and others. They tend to shop in New Look, River Island and Topshop these are the places they would more likely to shop at.

My target audience would also like to go to some festivals, they would go to the Itunes Festival, V Festival and Party in The Park and T4 on the Beach. They would go to a festival with their friends and stay over night. They would also be the type to try and meet their favourite artists so would stay anywhere to try and meet them. They would buy their music off Itunes but also maybe go and buy the Cd instead.
