Style sheet: Colour schemes
My magazine target audience is 16
to 25 year old girls, therefore I’m
going to use colours that will
interest them such as pinks and
purples. Even though my target
audience is mostly female I’d like
to use some colours that would
appeal to the males interested in
my magazine.
The colours I would like to use
are:
This font will be used for headlines and
pull out quotes as it is bold and also
has a handwritten effect which gives it
a more personal touch.
Calibri
I am also going to use this font for the
body of the text as again it’s very simple
and easy to read.
This font will be used for the masthead
as it is bold and stands out but is
also quiet girly which is ideal as my
target audience is young girls.
Style sheet: Fonts
Adobe Devanagari
I am going to use this font for the body of
the text as it’s simple and easy to read.
Letter Gothic STD
I am going to use this font bold for
headlines on the front cover as it
stands out. And use the same font but
not bold for the coverlines
Dummies
I tried lots of different versions of how
I want my cover, contents and double
page spread to look.
In rough sketches I did various different
designs and then further developed the
one I liked the most.
These are the cover, contents and double page spread I have chosen. I
also used examples of the colours I might use on my magazine.
Masthead
For the front cover:
The main image will be a medium shot of
young female artist.
The masthead is aligned with the top left
corner as this will catch the readers eye as
we read from left to right and using a
feminine colour and font.
Along the left side of the page headlines,
cover lines and images are used to give an
insight into the magazine.
On the bottom third of the page the main
headline will be written in a large font and in
a colour that stands out and grabs the
audiences attention.
I have taken inspiration from these covers:

For the contents page:
The images will be:
- A medium shot of a girl group.
- A long shot of the cover star.
- A long shot of a group of people in a
club.
- A concert
I have taken inspiration from these pages:

Headline
Pull out quote
For the double page spread:
A pull out quote will be used at the top of the page in a large font to
give the readers an insight into what they are about to read.
The main image will be a medium shot of a female artist spread across the
right side of the spread.
The page will be divided into three columns.
The questions and the answers from the interview will be in different colours
so the readers know who says what.
The font used in the interview will be Eras Light ITC as its simple and easy
to read.
I have taken inspiration from these double page spreads:

This will be the layout of my monthly magazine. The format changes on each page to give
more variation.
The magazine contains advertisement as this is what funds the magazine but also to interest
the audience into buying what is advertised.
The magazine also contains posters and this will intrigue a younger audience as it is
something they look for in a magazine.
It includes interviews, articles, photos and quizzes as this was the most popular answers from
