Magazine development

Here is the development process of my magazine where I will compile and reflect on my ideas 

Reflection: Even though this took in my opinion one of the longest one to fully finish its because I have been debating on want I want included in my magazine as I need to consider everything thats going into the magazine itself. Going back and fourth on an idea, as I feel like it can be better also wasted a lot of time in this part of the project yet now I feel happy with the decisions I picked even though it took longer than it should. Now I learned what I like and dislike in a fuller picture not just from research but actually having it in mind already and leaving it be executed during the designing period. 

Genre: fashion & lifestyle 

Sub-genre: young adults/teen fashion & beauty

Name of magazine: 

1. Couture cadence 

2. Constance 

3. Powder & chic 

4. You & me 

5. Spark 

6. Gossip 

7. Noted 

9. Seduction 

10. Enchanted 

11. Chics 

I highlighted the words that I believe will be the most catchy for my magazine and finally decided on "enchanted". As the words means that the audience reading will almost be under a spell due to them being utterly captivated and fascinated to read more of the magazine which is why the title needs to be able to catch the eye of the audience easily. CONNOTATIONS: ALLURING, CHARMING, ATTRACTIVE 

Possible coverlines: 

1. Enhancing your inner beauty 

2. One step to loving yourself more 

3. Beauty within you 

2. Healthy lifestyle 

3. Fashion 101 

4. Met gala's best looks 

4. Best way to dress up 

5. Comfortable with your dress choices 

6. Stay comfy yet on point 

7. Overdress in style 

8. Top 10 Anileve best looks

I choose the coverline "beauty within you" as the main topic for my double page spread as I believe it resonates most with the problems teenagers face in this generation. CONNOTATIONS: SELF LOVE AND CARE

Images: 

1. model posing indoor in a studio 

2. model posing outdoor in a more natural setting 

3. model playing around having fun 

Im still unsure on which concept to follow but as for now I would like my main cover image to be a model posing outdoor in a garden looking straight to the camera (medium shot) or the model walking around the garden but looking away from the camera (cowboy shot). I decided on this idea as I want my magazine concept to look more natural and flowy as its targeted towards a younger audience (teenagers). 

Double page spread: 

From the magazines I researched I envision my double page spread to have 2 or 3 images of my celebrity smiling and posing in a fun way (shows more expression) one image would be of just my celebrities face smiling directly towards the camera while one would be a long shot that shows my celebrity from head to toe. I will also create this page to mostly be white for the background with black texts of my article, however the picture of my celebrity itself will look a bit different as I don't want the image of my celebrity to blend in with the background I prefer it to look different. I will also use a lot more neutral colours such us beige, white, green, blue and black as I want it too look professional yet fit with the main topic of my article which is "enhancing your inner beauty"
