Double Page Article

My article page so far looks like this. I still have images to add and I will most likely re-arrange text to ensure there are no bland looking areas on the page. I chose a gold background to fit with the glittery eye makeup tutorial and kept my text colours quite simple to make it easy to read and to make it look professional and classy.

I have written a step by step tutorial of how to get the desired makeup look and will add images to go alongside each step. All of my photographs will be edited on Photoshop to give them a high quality effect.

Cover Update

I have stuck mainly to white text to contrast against the background. I also think white has quite a professional 'non-tacky' look to it which can reflect my magazine.

At the moment I have gone for a burgandy pink colour for the masthead. This is because the target audience is female and pink automatically relates to females. However, I didn't want it to be a bright, barbie pink as that could give the wrong impression of my magazine. A bright pink would be suited to a young tween audience however as my product is aimed at older teens to 20's so I toned down the colours.

Draft Radio Advertisement Script

This is my first draft of my radio advertisement script.

Cover

My cover so far looks like this. I chose white font as it complimented the background best. I kept it to one colour as it makes the cover look more polished and professional.

Article

The main bulk of my article is done and I just need to present it correctly on my double page spread with photographs 

Billboard

Here is the feedback from my billboard 

The photo I have chosen was specific taken outdoors to emphasise on the theme of Winter. A typical fashion magazine such as Vogue is likely to have a studio based image however as my magazine is regional and based on the Midlands I wanted to create more of an urban feel to my photo so that it fitted with my target audience. I wanted the contrast of a gritty background against my made up model.

First photo shoot done

My first set of photos are complete and I've chosen a specific image to use as my billboard background. I want this image to be a recognisable image for my brand therefore I want to use it on the cover of my magazine as well with some added editing.
