PLANNING STAGES

1. PLANNING STAGES MUNIRAH ISLAM

2. PROPOSAL

3. CONTENTS PAGE USING THE SAME FONT THOUGHOUT, WEARED OUT LETTERS, LOOKS AS IF IT IS DISINTERGRATING AWAY. A TITLE OF THE CONTEXT GIVING A GENERAL OUTLINE OF WHAT IS IN THE MAGAZINE A TASTER OF WHATS INSIDE THE MAGAZINE, SO THE AUDIENCE WILL BE MOTIVATED TO READ IT. IMAGES, ONCE AGAIN GIVING A TASTER OF WHAT CONSISTS INSIDE THE MAGAZINE.

4. DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

5. TITLE THE TITLE OF MY DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD WITH A FONT WHICH LOOKS LIKE THE LETTETS ARE WEARING AWAY. THIS IS MY ATTEMPT ON BEING MORE EDGY AND DARING, THE COMBINATION OF THE COLOURS RED BLACK AND WHITE COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER AND IS NOT GENDER BIASED. THE TITLE’S CONTEXT ‘HAS SHE GOT WHAT IT TAKES?’ ALSO QUESTIONS WHETHER SHE MEETS THE EXPECTATIONS OF SHOWBIZZNESS AND THE MUSIC INDUSTRY, ALMOST IMPYING THAT IT IS A BRUTAL BATTLE TO GET TO THE TOP. MOREOVER, THE COLOURS MAKE THE WEARED OUT LETTERS STAND OUT.

6. SUB-HEADING MY SUB-HEADING LOOKS SLIGHTLY LIKE CALIGRAPHY, I CHOSE THIS FONT DELIBBERATELY IN ORDER TO MAKE IT LOOK REALISTIC AND ALMOST LIKE IT WAS WRITTEN AS OPPOSED TO ARTIFICAL TEXT(PERSONAL FEEL)THE CONTEXT OF MY WIRTING REFERS TO A UPCOMING FRESH ARTIST- ‘CHERRY LETO’, AS MENTIONED IN MY PROPOSAL I ATTEMPT TO BE SLIGHTLY MORE EDGY ON MY APPROACH AND THEREFORE DID NOT CHOOSE A COMMON NAME. THE FIRST NAME SLIGHLTY REMINDS ME OF THE FAMOUS FIRST ROCK GIRL BAND ‘THE RUNAWAYS’, WHERE ONE MEMBER WENT BY THE NAME ‘CHERRY BOMB’. IN A WAY, I’M TRYING TO MAKE MY ARTIST VINTAGE/INDIE AND MORE ROCK N ROLL AS OPPOSED TO CONTEMPORAY AND MODERN.

7. CONTEXT We are at her Posh London hotel, her laid back and care-free style is clearly reflected by the state of her room- clothes scattered everywhere . various fashion magazines accompanying her bowl of haribos on her king size bed.However, we feel welcome as she greets us with a warm hug.... THIS IS A EXTRACT FROM MY ARTICLE. A INTERVIEW WITH ‘CHERRY LETO’. AS MY MAGAZINE IS BASED AROUND EDGY POP, I DIDN’T WANT TO MAKE HER APPEAR SQUEAKY CLEAN, OR PRIM AND PERFECT WHICH WE ARE SO USED TO SEEING IN THE TEEN POP GENRE. THERFORE, I TRIED TO MAKE HER RELATABLE BY MAKING HER APPEAR LIKE A NORMAL TEENAGER, HENCE THE CARE-FREE ATTITUDE WITH A MESSY ROOM ETC. POP ARTISTS ARE USUALLY BRAINWASHED BY THE MEDIA AND ACT IN A CERTAIN WAY, I TRIED TO GET AWAY FROM ALL THAT AND MAKE HER SEEM NORMAL AND IDENTIFIABLE WITH MY TARGET AUDIENCE. ‘ALL THE FANS screaming your name gives you such a rush and the drive to own the stage’ THIS IS ONE OF TWO QUOTES WHICH I USED ON MY DOUBLE SPREAD, I DIDN’T USE TOO MANY QUOTES AS USING A LIMTED AMOUNT FOCUSES THE AUDIENCE’S ATTENTION ON IT MORE AND THERFORE HAS MORE OF A IMPACT. I USED A SIMPLE LINE SAID BY THE ATRIST. A EXTRACT FROM MY INTERVIEW. I CHOSE LADY GAGA AS HER INSPIRATION AS THIS IS A ARTIST WHICH IS REFLECTIVE OF MY MAGAZINE- SOMEONE WHO IS DIFFERENT, CONTROVERSIAL YET STILL POPULAR. You look up to Lady Gaga? She is my idol and inspiration. I love her style, what she does. She’s not afraid to be different and daring, and at the end of the day that is why she has become so successful and such a hit.

8. IMAGE AND COLOUR SCHEME ONE OF THE IMAGES WHICH I USED IN MY ARTICLE, HOWVER I ATTEMPT TO CHANGE THIS AS IT DOES NOT FOCUS ON THE ARTIST TOO MUCH. HOWVER, I AIM TO USE DIFFERENT ANGLES. MY COLOUR SCHEME IS RED, BLACK, WHITE. I CHOSE THESE COLOURS AS THEY ARE EDGY AND NOT GENDER BIASED. THEREFORE IT CAN BE READ BY BOTH BOYS AND GIRLS. IT ALSO SLIGHTLY MORE DARING AND ROCK.
