Costume and prop research for my magazine

2. Model/Style Icons
• For my Indie-Pop magazine I want just one model.
• My style icons and influences are Lana Del Rey in particular,
Florence & The Machine, Kate Nash, Ellie Goulding and Marina &
The Diamonds.
• I want someone with little to know freckles and blemishes, with quite
a plain, simplistic and porcelain complexion so the images need little
to no editing or filters.

3. Theme
• I would like my magazine to have a vintage 1970s/80s retro type
feel to it.
• I want to follow the idea of Film Noir in my magazine, with only
certain things in the magazine which are in red so its attention
grabbing and so the things in red are symbolic as they are the only
colour object on the Front cover and contents page etc.

4. Front Cover
• I’m going to use one close up shot on the front cover for
impact.
• I want my everything on the front cover to be in black
and white (charcoal type colour) with only the models
lips in a vibrant red colour, along with some of the text on
the page.
• Keeping the idea of Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe
in mind in the point above.

6. Contents Page
• I want my contents page to follow the same colour
theme.
• I want Polaroid pictures of my model to run ¾’s of the
way across the page vertically downwards.
• On the left hand side of the Polaroid's I want a charcoal
coloured background where the contents of the page will
be numbered in chronological order.
• On the right hand side of the Polaroid’s I want the
background to be a off white colour, with the information
about exclusives and special features of the magazine
there also.

8. Double Page Spread
• I want to go for a different style on my double page
spread as there is more space to play with and take into
account.
• I want to go for a flowery vintage theme.
• On the left hand page, I want my a medium close up
shot of my model in colour against a distressed white
wall background to take up the entire page, with her
name and a quote that she has said in her interview.
• On the right hand page, I want a completely colourful
vintage floral background. For the article and interview I
want it to be presented in white boxes so they stand out
against the flowers.
