Overview
My fi rst magazine w ill be promotin g a h ealthy lifesty le
by displaying a cover stor y abou t a girl wh o was
addicted to sw eets. T his idea will cater towards th e 16-
25 demographic as they are por trayed as more ' h ealth
conscious' than other ages. Th is will also lin k towards
my second magazine, wh ich will be abou t h ow a boy
paid off his university tu ition th rou gh selling h is secon d
h and items. These themes are cu rren t as healthy
eating, sustainability an d eco-con sciou sn ess are
considered impor tant valu es towards this demographic.

In my sec on d mag azin e, I will have th e model
holding two h an gers with br ight colour ed
clothing so th e pictu re grasps atten tion with
the c olour palette. Th e mise en scen e will be
the c amera lowe red slightly to con note that th e
model is power fu l an d stron g. As th e colour
Photography palette with th e pu ll qu otes, mas thead etc will
be in the same colou rs to r emain c on sisten t and
be eye-c atch ing. Th e mod el will b e dr essed
Ideas mor e unde rstated as th ey will s tand ou t
comp ared to th e colou r fu l c loth es su rrou ndin g
them. By only us in g two h an gers , th e model will
have one in eac h hand, wh ich allows the
magazine to app ear less clus ter ed an d allow the
focus to be on them.
For my fi rst magazine I will be having a
section for travel on the contents page.
Travel is an important factor for many 16-
25 year olds, which is why I decided to
Contents add it into my contents page. I will have a
sidebar of top 10 destinations to travel to
Pages this summer, which is a light-hear ted way
to infi ltrate this topic into my magazine. I
Ideas will also add a few pull quotes, a mini q&a
and my magazine's website so audiences
are more intrigued to watch the inter view,
which will gain streams for my website.
For my secon d magazin e, I will h ave a min i q&a
from the c over stor y as the stor y c ould be
considered 'in sp irat ion al' as th e target au dience
wants to be su ccess fu l. Also, as some of th e
demog raphi c may be ap plyin g to u niversity or
Contents at university th ey c an u se th is idea of selling
online to make some inc ome. This magazin e
Pages cove r c an h elp in fl u en ce society 's values an d
make the plan et more ec o-fr ien dly whilst
making mon ey. I will also h ave a side bar of th e
Ideas best festivals to g o to and u nd erneath th at a
sidebar below of the best secon d-h an d on line
stories, for in stan ce Depop. I will be doing th is
as it links to th e c on su mer s in terests an d
values.
