My Models:

Paige singer, Holly Fraser, Liam Lindsay

For my magazine, I have set myself a target to make my magazine look as realistic and professional as possible.  Because of this I need to make sure I plan what I would like my images to be off. They need to relate to my stories, and need to fit in with my genre ‘pop’.  I will be using different camera angles, to make the image look more professional.

Front cover:

For my front cover, my main image will be of my friend ‘Paige’ She will be pretending to be the new winner of’ X-Factor’. She will be the main image of the page and other text and images will be placed over the top. I want an image of her singing her heart out and singing into a microphone facing up.  She will be dressed in girly, glittery clothes with loads of Jewellery. This will show a clear sign of our music genre (pop).  Another idea I had if that idea didn’t work or look right, would be to have a close up of her putting her finger over her lips (showing the ‘shh’ sign).    Also on the front cover I will have images of some clothes which will be next to the heading   ‘Get the red carpet look this Christmas’ and a image of my friend ‘Liam’ who will be pretending he’s a famous singer posing for a free poster which is inside.

Double page spread:

Because my double page spread is all about the mast head (which is an interview of my made up star) this page will be full of text and images of my star. Once again my model will be my friend Paige because she is pretending to be my star. I will have another large image of her on this page and also a smaller image of her on the ‘X-Factor’ stage. Because this is not real I will have to edit her onto a back ground of her stood on the ‘X-Factor’ stage.  I will do this by using the program ‘Photo Shop’ and will use the ‘magic wand’ tool to cut her out and place her on top of my background image. This image will be small so it won’t matter as much if it’s not perfect because when small, you won’t be able to see that she has been edited in.  I would like to add an effect of an old photo film strip to add silly pictures of her, to give the affect that ‘just because she’s now famous, she’s still an average teenage girl.’ This will help the readers connect to her, because there the same age.

Contents page:

On my contents page I will need to have images of what I’m pretending is inside. So as well as images of my pretend ‘star’ I will need images of other stories which I am pretending to be inside.  For example, I am pretending I am having a free poster inside so this will be shown on the contents page. I will also have images of other ‘fake’ celebrities  on this page, with ‘fake’ stories next to them.
