Most fashion magazines use very bright colors in their cover lines. I am not aiming to do the same. I will use colors such as gold, beige etc for my magazine. the masthead of the magazine will be a bright color which will look prominent on the magazine. the cover lines will be a mix of red, black and white cover lines. the main image and the background will have colors such as golds and beige. this will help the cover lines and the name of the magazine to stand out on the magazine. An example for such a magazine is give below.

This is the rough idea that I have in mind for my double spread. The double spread will most probably have 3 anchoring images, a heading, sub heading, a by line, a pull quote and the article itself. this draft shows the places of all of these. This is what I am aiming to produce in a double spread.
This is what i aim to produce on my content page it will consist of two anchoring images, a puff, the name of the magazine, the heading 'CONTENTS' and a letter from the editor.
This is the rough draft that i have in mind for my cover page. Thisshows the placing of the heading, the main image, the cover lines, the main cover line, the bar code and the issue date
I plan to do my shoot in an in door place. The background will be a patterned background which i will add later on. The lighting for my shoot will be high key. There would be no such props in my magazine as its a fashion magazine and according to the conventions not many props are used. The model will probably wear some accessories like; rings or a bracelet. The costume of the model will probably be a long, formal dress. Her hair will be loose with some loose curls. the make up wont be very elaborate. It will be a natural look. This is a rough plan of what i want in the model and in the setting.
This is the rough article that i wrote for my double spread.
FEELING THE FEAR... HSY GIVES FASHION A NEW DEFINITION- BUT WILL IT BE THE RIGHT ONE? WE TALK ABOUT HIS NEW FASHION COLLECTION OF 2015. By Neha Saleem Sheikh. The leading designer of pakistan today, Hassan Shehryar Yasin also known as HSY launched his new fashion collection of 2015. These werent the type of designs we usually see in a HSY collection. The colours were really vibrant and the designing was really unique. It gave a new definition to fashion. Many people were intrigued by this new collection of his. The customers responded to it differently, some were so fascinated by it whereas the others were a bit hesitant while buying it. Hassan sheheryar yasin was satisfied by the work he had done. When he was asked about the ideology behind this collection of his he immediately responsed. He said; “I don’t want to follow the mainstream fashion styles. I am interested in creating something new and unique for the buyers. And that’s exactly what i have done with this collection. And by the response of the customers i think i have done justice to all those prints.” HSY is very confident about this new collection and is satisfied by the customer response. We asked one of the customers about this new collection and she said, “It is different. I think the industry needed this. Now other designers will try to bring something new to the market which is great. I really like it.” Another customer said, “This collection is for those who seek adventure. Not everybody can wear such tacky prints. It isn’t bad in any way but i won’t buy such prints to wear on a regular day.” However, on the whole this was a very interesting collection. We were impressed by his courage to launch such a collection. Majority people were impressed by it and appreciated it. HSY gave a new look to fashion and no doubt this new look is fantastic. This collection was all about colours. It is a summer collection and all the colours used in the fabric were vibrant and bright. It is not posibble that one would not feel lively and fresh while wearing such bright colours. My double spread will be a biography of a fashion designer. it will focus on the designer's ideology behind designing his new collection. the title of the double spread will be 'Feeling the Fear'. it will talk about the risks the designer while designing and launching his new collection. The subtitle of the double spread will be 'HSY gives a new definition to fashion- but will it be the right one?' It will consist of 500-600 words. It will have about 3 images. It wont be a picture based article but rather a text based article.
I have looked up a lot of magazines over the internet that inspired me in finalizing the cover lines of my magazine and also the main story line of the magazine. The cover lines that i will be using in my magazine are;
The main cover line of my magazine will be;
my cover story will be featuring a designer who is recognised by majority of my target audience. or maybe it will FEATURE a model or a style icon who would tell the readers about trending FASHION styles. it can also be an interview in which the model or designer will be asked questions related to fashion styles and their journey in the fashion industry.models are used in fashion magazines as tools to sell the magazines. a magazine never features a model that is not attractive. the women in the magazine covers are used to create an erotic impact on the audience. these images of models usually don't represent the real person. they are shot in ways that make them look sensual only to please the readers. models are used entirely as sexual commodities even if the model is nothing like that in her real life.
