Week Five (17.12.15) - Photo shoot for contents and feature article, Done a big photo shoot on week 2 didn't have to go back as i was happier with my images I took in the studio. However for individual pictures for my contents I looked through pictures that I had previously got on my phone from taking them and searched through those and found some.
Week Six + Seven (8.01.16) - construct contents page; After drawing up a design use it as a guide line to start the design, think about the typical conventions that you would find on a contents page and incorporate them into the design.
Week Eight + Nine (26.01.16) - construct feature article; pick a picture from the photo shoot to put on the spread, make sure its clear and have possible eye contact to the audience but if not thats okay. Write up an interview (made up) as if i was the interviewer and Bekka (my modal) was answering the questions as if she was a famous musician.

Original Idea
My initial idea for my magazine was to create a new fashion,music and lifestyle magazine that would appeal to my target audience aged 17-25 years old. I chose the name PRISM because I thought it was an interesting concept to think that a prism is a transparent optical element with flat surfaces that reflects light, i linked this to music by knowing that the genre of music someone listens to usually reflects their mood, the concept is also very current and new relating to the purpose of my magazine. My magazine is going to be aimed at young adults with an interest in new upcoming,on trend music and clothing. The layout of my magazine is going to be sleek and glossy, the front cover will have an establishing masthead with the same bold font on every cover. My magazine would possibly have a different colour scheme on every issue but always sticking to the masthead and the actual prism behind the masthead will often change colour every month. I will take inspiration from from Q and Billboard magazine i like the way everything is laid so spaced out and not too over crowded. I would like my double page spread to be quite simple with a structured colour scheme and font type.
