Print brief research and planning

1) Magazine cover key conventions I will be using for my print:

• Masthead
• At least 5 cover lines
• Slogan
• Powerful central image
• House-style/colour scheme
• Target audience

2) 

• I will be using this style of powerful central image and bold masthead.

• I could use the minimalist aesthetic, such as keeping to nude colours, because it will have many cover lines i don't want it to look crowded.

• Various cover lines, all different fonts and sizes. 
• Contains smaller images at the bottom.

• Contains many cover lines
• One stunning image

• Talks about what it contains on the inside, so I can make up cover lines.

3) 

• They have used a mix of word and pictures for their contents.
• Page numbers are in bold and varied size.
• Used columns.
• Organised- colour scheme.

• Their feature is more dominant.
• Used images.

• Used one powerful central image.
• House-style.
• Colour-scheme.
• Organised/linear layout.

4) 

• Used one powerful image and one smaller image which is linked to the feature.
• Columns are used for the text
• I want mine to be linear and simple, but have the house-style.

• Contains many smaller images- I would use this as we need at least 7 images so will come in handy.
• Organised and columned text.

• House-style/colour scheme
• One stunning image
• Bold font title

5) Reading.

Planning, sketching and writing

Rough first ideas of planning.

First sketch of my front cover, it may change depending on where I place my images

My contents page, will upload an updated on once all the features have been decided. 

My double spread page, initial idea. The placement of images may change.

Planning for my article. I will upload my full completed article.

Photoshoot

1) One of my cast members will appear on the front cover, not sure which one out of the three.

2) At the moment I have planned for one image featuring on the contents page, which will be related to my crime drama. However, if I decide to go with having a few pictures I will take pictures in external locations where I have filmed which relate to my contents.

3) I'm planning to use one stunning image on one page and having my article on the other page, with a strip of pictures at the top from shooting behind the scenes. 

4) Shots I will need:

• Mid shots- clothing/facial expression can be seen. (Both topics)
• Full body shots
• Extreme close ups of the face

5) Winter Fashion:

• Hat/scarf/coat/boots

Influence/feminism/make-up

• Trendy clothing
• Bright colours
