For her final project, the author has decided to create a celebrity gossip and fashion magazine targeted at older teenage females. She chose this topic because she is within the target audience and wants to design a magazine she personally finds interesting. Through a questionnaire of 30 teenage girls, the author identified popular elements to include like a celebrity interview, contents page, and double page spread. She has gathered 6 models and plans a pink, green, lilac or blue color scheme for the magazine, drawing inspiration from Teen Vogue and Glamour magazines.

1. For my final major project I have decided to create a Celebrity gossip and High Street Fashion
magazine for older teenage females, I have chosen to target an audience that includes me as I think
this will able me to make a better magazine as I will there for have a good knowledge and feel for
what they would want from a magazine and what they will like. I have also picked to base it on
genres that I am interested in which has made me really enjoy this project altogether.
After sending out a questionnaire to thirty older teenage females I managed to come up with what
to fill the magazine that I am doing with, I will be doing a front cover, contents page and double page
spread that includes a celebrity interview with a model. I also asked on the questionnaire
I have gathered together 6 models for my magazine, the person on my front cover will be the same
as the double page spread interview and then as I have pictures on my contents page to show who
will be featured in the magazine. I will have about four cover lines on the front and one main cover
line. For my colour scheme I have chosen to use Pink, Green, Lilac and Blue and I will pick just two of
them as my masthead colours and I will try to use some of these colours in my main image, this will
probably work in the background of my image as I don’t want a plain background, I want something
that will stand out and attract my audience without being too much at the same time, so even
though I have chosen to use what sound like quite bright colours I am planning on using darker
shades of them.
My main influences for my magazine have been Teen Vogue and Glamour magazine.
