Sophie Griffiths created a magazine called "Vision" to promote her soap opera "Fresher's". The magazine takes inspiration from "Fabulous" magazine with an elegant font for the masthead placed behind the cover star. The cover features an image of the main character Josh, chosen for his smile and attitude. Inside, the main story is an interview with the main character JP who has revealed he is homosexual. Other stories discuss issues from the show like drugs to relate to audiences.

2. Inspiration for layout of “Vision
Magazine”:
For my ancillary
product, I chose to do
a Television Magazine
named vision, with its
main feature being
“FRESHERS”, I have
chosen a classier
Television magazine as
I feel it relates better
to my soap opera. The
following magazine
below is my
inspiration for how I
aspire Vision to look.

3. Here is a very basic
layout plan of how I
plan on making my
magazine front
cover: it is a
guideline to guide
myself through the
creation of my
magazine and how I
plan on making it
look.

4. This is the image of Josh, one of our main characters on our soap
opera trailer: Fresher's. I chose this image of Josh because I feel
its a “feel good” photo with his smile and good attitude towards
the camera, this is something that reflects his personality of his
character in Fresher's and has been displayed very well through
this photograph. I took this photograph on a green screen back
drop, which I then edited with my partner on photo shop to make
a transparent background.
Here is a photograph to show
the image that I plan on using
with the background, I have
just used a slight creamy
colour for my cover.

5. Above is the masthead of my chosen inspiration “Fabulous” magazine, This
masthead is hidden behind the stars head therefore I decided to do this for my
magazine with my main star for my front cover, bringing my photograph forward
and text backwards. With regards to the font of my masthead I also followed my
inspiration of Fabulous magazine with an elegant font as I feel it fitted in well with
the branding of my Soap Opera and the classy elegant style that I was going for, I
have made the font italic to make a classy statement and to enable there is no
“tackiness” displayed on the cover of my magazine isn't that type of magazine
style.

6. The main feature of the
magazine is meeting
JP, who is the main
character in the show
and has just revealed to
be a homosexual, so that
this would attract the
audience to read the
story.
This feature is in the
bottom corner of the
magazine, it is a gossip
The following features feature in order to keep
on the right are related the audience keen and
to the programme and hooked onto the
issues related within the programme as it is a
programme such as “fresher's” special.
drugs so that this
enables the audience to
relate with the
characters and how
they’re feeling as they
are realistic day-to-day
issues which some
teenagers have to face.
