2. 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 spark a male interest in
my magazine.
The colours I would like to use are:

3. 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

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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:

7. 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:

8. Headline
Pull out quote

9. 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:

Text
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 my survey.
