Formalising plans

FRONT COVERS Location Magazine 1  For my first magazine, the photographs will be taken at Tynemouth Priory. The cover image and the contents page image will both be taken at this location. I have chosen this location as it is a respected, old location. By my model posing here, it will symbolise that he should also be respected. The location has been through a lot and so has my model. Due to the location's history, it is now in ruins and this will symbolise that my model feels the same due to the discriminatory actions in which people have shown towards him. It is a natural location and this connotates that my model is also natural and his sexuality is a natural thing. Magazine 2 For my second magazine, the photographs will be taken at a subway/under-passing. I have chosen this location as my model is showing that she doesn't have a lot of wealth or pleasure in life due to the discrimination in which she has had to ensure due to being Asian and living in Britain. Due to ...

Production company name and logo

Image
Production company name: Empower Reason: The reason I have chosen the name Empower for my magazine is because the magazine is from the current affairs genre where I will include stories that feature people talking about issues in which they are facing in current society and how they are trying to empower people to make a difference.  Logo:  https://www.wix.com/logo/maker Reason behind logo: I have designed this logo for my production company which will feature both on the magazine and on the website. I have used the colours black and white as these are the colours in which I intend to have run throughout the products in which I create. The colours black and white also provide an element of professionalism as they are often associated with professional situations such as newspaper traditionally being these colours. I have decided to use a black background with white font to allow for the writing to stand out and appear eye-catching. White has connotations of pur...

Mood board

Image
My mood board collection of images Why I've chosen these images All of the images that I have chosen to add on my mood board relate to elements of the images in which I want to produce for my magazine. I have included two images of magazines which I like the style of. I have also included an image of the Big Issue front cover which I intend on using as my style model. I have included an image of an Asian lady in traditional Hindu dress as I want one of my images to be of an Asian girl in similar attire. I have also included an image of a subway underground path as this is where I want my second magazine front cover to be shot as this location will represent the feelings of being left out of society which my model feels due to being discriminated against in British society. I have included images of Tynemouth priory as I want the image of my first magazine to be located there. I have included an image of a man in blue denim clothing as I liked this style of clothin...

Key conventions of my magazine

Key elements  How I will conform to the current affairs genre: I will use copy to show that my magazine includes high quality stories. I will feature main stories that are relevant to current society. Both stories will be about identity and how society presents stigmas around certain identities. One magazine will feature a model posed as a gay teenager who is talking about the hate he has faced due to being part of the LGBTQ+ community and the challenges he has had to go through and continues to go through everyday. The main story of my second magazine will feature an Asian teenager talking about her fight around racism including how she believes that she has had to hide her true identity to conform to normal British society to fit in and not be discriminated against.  I will use sophisticated images to ensure that the magazine is professional is a very high standard to meet the current affairs genre expectation.  The stories will feature information on social, envi...

My audience

Audience https://www.uktribes.com/ The criteria for the audience is that they are 16-25 years old, socially conscious and middle-upper class. This is an example of the audience of my magazine. Socially conscious - This image represents a socially conscious young adult - which is what the brief specifies for my intended audience. This group isn't afraid to speak their mind and believes in changing the world for the good. They are especially passionate about issues in which are still effecting their generation such as stigma surrounding sexuality, racial issues and gender inequality.

Spare time- In their spare time, this aud...
