The document proposes a cycling magazine that will highlight cycling tips and showcase cross-country cycling destinations and bike types. It will include pictures of cyclists on terrain and close-ups of bike parts. The front cover will feature an action shot of a cyclist jumping with the background showing the landscape. The magazine will have a formal tone as it targets mature cycling enthusiasts. It will use vibrant colors and busy layout similar to music magazines.

1. Proposal
The type of magazine that I have chosen to create is a cycling magazine, I
have chosen to do this magazine becauseI can relate to this area the
most and this is most applicable to me. This magazine will highlight on
cycling tips and the to make the viewer have an idea of what cross-
country cycling is like. There will be examples of cross-country
destinations to go cycling in and examples of what suitable cross-country
bikes consistof and look like. There will be many images that I will be
including in my magazine, one of which is pictures of people cycling in
cross-countryvenues. On thefront cover there will be a picture of a
person going down a cross-country terrain and doing a jump. This will be
the subjectof focus and therefore will stand out from the content on the
rest of the frontcover. I will also be including an article upon how to get
the mostout of cross-countrycycling and a question and answer session
with a professionalbiker. Also, on the double page spread I will be using
images of differenttypes of bike parts and different tracks. This is to give
the reader more information about bikes and areas to bike. The
language used will be formal in the magazine. The language will be
formalbecause I will be talking to people who have a hobby in biking
and are a quite mature audience, thereforethe formallanguage will be
most applicable to them. Furthermore, I willbe using a large amount of
colour throughoutmy magazine, both on the frontcover and double
page spread. The magazine will be quite busy and vibrant, like
magazines such as Kerrang.
I will be using a formatsimilar
to this magazine, as there is a
lot of colour, making it vibrant
and the subjectof focus is the
biker, as such as my magazine
will have. This is the type of
magazine I will be aiming to
create, as this is directly
applicable to the audience of
biking fanatics, which is my
chosen audience of my
magazine. As there are
specialised parts shown on the
cover, I will be doing
something similar to this.

2. I will be taking pictures of the cyclist in the country environment, as hey
goes through a terrain. This image will be my subjectof focus and will be
displayed on the frontcover. I will also be taking pictures of bike parts
and various biking areas. These will be displayed on the front cover, but
mainly on the double page spread. The shotof the subjectof focus will
be taken externally, in the biking area, and the other images I will be
taking will be taken in the studio. There will be a combination of these
used. Moreover, the background of the frontcover will be the
environmentof where the picture of the cyclistwill be taken. The
subjectof the magazine will be the only person wearing a costume. The
subjectwill be wearing a biking outfit, also a helmet. They will not be
posing for the picture, as I want to capture them in their natural habitat/
environment. They will be doing a jump when I will take the shot. The
colour of the costumewill be complimented by the colour of the
magazine. The costumeof the person, which is the subject, will not be
wearing branded clouting. This is to avoid ethical and legal issues that
may ariseand permission will be needed to be able to use the costume.
The model will be a male cyclist and will not be under 16 years old,
therefore not needing parental consent. Furthermore, the model will
sign consent to be photographed, so their image can be used in my
magazine. Stereotypes will not be used I my magazine, and the only
purposefor the subject to be male is becauseof the fact that the
audience is mainly male cycling enthusiasts. This audience will be
teenagers and adults, becausethey have the mostinterest in bikes.
