Magazine Project

Task 1: Research and planning

1) Use Google images to research magazines that you could use for this project. Create a shortlist of three potential magazines and write what they are here. Extension task: embed an example front cover from each one. We recommend looking at lifestyle, sport or music magazines as these are easier to re-create.

Match magazine was launched on 6 September 1979, at a   cover price of 25p. The original editor was Mel   Bagnall.

World Soccer is an English-language football magazine, published by Kelsey Media. The magazine was established in 1960 and is the oldest continually published football magazine in the United Kingdom.

    

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for but it somehow worked out.

2) Choose one of the magazines to use for your project e.g GQ or Vogue. Then do a Google image search to find three different front covers for your chosen magazine. Add them to your blogpost to show you have done your research.

 

3) Write a list of things you notice about the magazine covers you have researched e.g. colour scheme, font, writing style, what kind of picture is on the cover, page design etc. What is the language or writing style? How are the cover lines written? What camera shot is generally used for the cover image?

They all use bright colours for their headlines and their colours for the writing so it catches the readers attention.

They have used very famous footballers and put them, on the front in big so the reader recognizes who they are straight away. The font is not san-serif its serif as they are just wanting to show the reader what the magazine is about but not do too much.

4) In your blogpost, write your main cover line - this is the main cover story that links to your central image. It must be 100% original - all your own words. Next, write the rest of the cover lines and any other text you need for your magazine cover.

5) Plan the image you are going to take for the cover - model, costume, make-up etc. At this point, simply describe the image you need to capture.

6) Sketch out your cover on plain A4 paper so you know where the title, image and cover lines are going to go.
