2. BREIFING MY IDEA
I have been commissioned by the Northern
Echo to create a newspaper or magazine
product.
• Photography
• Self financed
• 17-24 target audience
3. This will affect my magazine
because
• I will have to use suitable terminology
• Colour scheme will be affected by my
research
• Price (free)
• Imagery
6. CONSTRAINTS
The IPSO is the new independent newspaper and magazine regulator for the
UK. They took over from the PCC on the Monday 8th September 2014. They
hold the highest standards of journalism by monitoring and maintaining the
standards set out in the editor’s code of practice.
The IPSO set out rules and regulations that must be followed by the media
industry. These are the following rules that are going to effect my magazine
making process.
Harassment and Trespass:
Journalists and photographers must not engage in intimidation,
trespass or persistence to find information or take photographs.
Permission must be given from the land holder and models to
ensure that we stick to the codes. If unable to gather information
due to the circumstances new models and locations will be
found. This rule will only apply to the images that I am taking
outside as the rest of my images will be taken in a hired studio
with hired models.
7. constraints
Copyright: gives those who create something the power to
protect there work from being copied or used by other people,
this can turn into a legal matter if the Copyrights, Designs and
Patent act 1998 is breached. I will source all of the information
that will be published in my magazine threw research and
interviews. The ‘up and coming photographer’ will have there
work published in my magazine, in the small print on the entry
form they are required to grant permission for my magazine to
use there images if they are successful.
8. constraints
Children: All of my studio models are over 18. when taking
photographs outside I do not want people in my images
therefore no one under the age of 18 is going to feature in my
magazine. This means that I do not have to get parents
permission to take images as I will already have a written
contract with the models that have been employed to take part in
the shoot.
9. constraints
Discrimination:
When I am taking my images I will be using the
models that I have employed, when choosing
my models I have took into consideration my
target audience.
The location of my images will differ from city’s
to towns and more rural areas.
10. UPS
MY UNIQUE SELLING POINT:
My research has found that generic photography magazines are
aimed at an older and higher socio economic target audience.
This allowed me to find a gap in the market for a less formal,
photography magazine with a younger audience. When carrying
out my research I asked WOULD YOU BUY A PHOTOGRAPHY
MAGAZINE THAT WAS ALREADY AVALIBLE? And why? I
received comments like ‘the technical language is to had to
understand’, ‘it is far to expensive and out of my budget’
This gave me an idea to come up with cheaper more
understandable alternative!
12. GENRE RESEARCH
• Serif and sans serif
font
• White font
• Use of shapes
• Bold fonts
• Variety of fonts
• The face is the main
attraction
• Three main colours
14. Genre research
• Use of black and white
• Small amount of text
• Focused on imagery
• Female
• Simple
I will use some of these
techniques in my
magazine.

22. MAGAZINE NAME
Photogaphie
I decided on this name because I wanted something obvious but
slightly different, the first recorded photograph was taken in
France, hence the reason I have translated ‘photography’ into
French.
23. MY AIMS
• My aim is to make an informative free
magazine that young people will enjoy
reading.
• I want the breakdowns to be easy to
understand and simple to follow
• I want my readers to find my articles and
images interesting
• I want my magazine to appeal to everyone,
not just my primary and secondary target
audience.
