The document provides an analysis of the stylistic considerations used in a fashion magazine for teenage girls, noting that bright colors, consistent branding, youthful fonts, inspirational stories and advertisements are used to create an image of trendiness and aspiration. The layout employs lined paper and creative white space to seem fun yet mature, while the tone encourages independence through authoritative subheadings. Graphics depict models smiling and shopping to portray those acts positively.

10. 3. Research into target audience
Regarding the demographics of my survey population, their ages ranged from 12-20 years: most of the respondents were in the
age group 15-17, (7) which is appropriate for my target audience.
The great majority of my respondents described their fashion style as from the 90’s, with the second major group being in the
‘noughtie’s. This is interesting as it shows that most current teenagers look back 20-30 years for fashion ideas.
There was a range of different answers for “who is your style icon”, yet the two celebrities that occurred more than once were
“Alexa Chung”, “Kate Moss and “Eliza Doolittle”, all outside the teenage range. This is interesting in relations to the answers from
the previous question, as again current teenagers seem to be looking to an earlier generation for fashion, styles and ideas; indeed,
“Kate Moss” is in her 40’s.
To the fourth question “How would you describe your style?” all respondents put down a different description of their personal
style, this showing to me, that for the second decade of the 21st century, there is not one single dominant style which attract
teenagers. Again, they appear to look to previous generations for their fashion sense. As all described styles were taken from all
different era. For example, “gothic” was from the 70’s to 80’s,and I one reported “I take my fashion style from all different eras”.
All respondents put down “high street shops” when asked where do they purchase their clothes, as it was a multiple choice
questions the second majority put down “vintage shops”; this suggests that wehb[n not using high-street shops current teenagers
look back to earlier times as they purchase clothing from vintage, second-hand shops. As all respondents put down “High street
shops as their first answer, if I was to put advertisement in to my magazine spread, I advertise clothes/accessories from high-
street shops, as teenagers shop mostly at high-street shops.
The majority (7/13) put “yes” to the question “Would you describe yourself as a follower of fashion”, 4/13 saying “no” they are
not a follower of fashion, and 3/13 putting “other”. I can conclude that the majority of respondents in this small scale study
believed they do follow fashion. I can take from this that that my audience will aspire to assess what are current trends, and will
tend to follow them when possible.

11. SURVEY CONCLUSIONS
• My survey was directed at the desired demographic, and suggested
that teens will mostly shop at high-street shops and follow fashion
trends. However, possibly surprisingly, they do look to earlier times
and older icons to establish their own style, which is relevant when
choosing feature articles and attracting advertising. This supports
the concept of the magazine which matches my concept.

Brainstorm of own ideas for
media production

15. 5. Technical programmes and equipment
• Survey monkey- I used ‘Survey Monkey’ to distribute my survey and to gain
research into my target audience in order to: obtain a better understanding of
what my target audience will be looking for in a fashion magazine, to apply those
aspects to mine, and to engage and attract them to my magazine. I also wished to
gain information of young people’s fashion styles, inspirations and fashion icons.
• Word-I used Microsoft Word to gain ideas and templates for my mock-ups for my
media products, also for the brainstorm of my ideas.
• I will use a Canon single lens reflex camera
• Photoshop- I will use Photoshop for editing my double page spread

16. 6. Production costing
• To hire photo editor-adobe/Photoshop for 6 hours it will cost
£112.32
• To hire editor and writer-for 6 hours it will cost £133.32
• To hire hair and makeup artists for 6 hours it will cost £390
• To hire out a studio and a photographer for 6 hours it will cost £570
• To produce 1 issue of 100 page magazine in full colour, it will cost
£38
• To hire 3 models for 6 hours it will cost £540

The total cost of everything will be £1849.14

17. 8. Checklist of planning timeline
I have 5 photo shoots to complete.
This week I will organize all outfits, plan the location of the
shoot, and complete two shoots.
Next week, I will complete the rest of the 3 shoots.
The week after I will start writing my articles, as I will be able to
base them on the fashion shoots I had previously completed the
week before.
After writing my articles I will be able to start editing. Editing will
take a few weeks as I will have to go through various drafts due
to the fact that s I am inexperienced in this area and will need
some practice.
