Drafting and planning and potential target audience

This is one of my favourite bands the 1975. I really like the style of this band and I think they fit in with the pop/rock genre of my magazine and would fit perfectly with the theme of my magazine overall and also the main cover star.

Drafting and planning

The name of my magazine is connect. I chose this name because when I was researching different words such as link on visual thesaurus I came across the word 'connect' which I felt was appropriate for a music magazine. I have previously tried out various different fonts however I came to the conclusion that I prefered the simple serif fonts rather than the retro and decorative fonts. I like the simpler fonts as the present the minimalistic theme I am aiming for. 

Drafting and planning and organisation

I have settled on the name 'Cobra Lily' for my artist. This is going to be my main cover star and there is going to be very similar styling. 

Drafting and planning

I have created this as a brief layout for my cover. This will give me some guidelines of where I want to place everything. 

Drafting and planning and potential target audience

In this photo the olsen twins are not in a particularly special location however the photographs are really effective. They achieve the look that I am aiming for so I am going to take this into consideration.

Organisation

I have been thinking about the location in which i am going to take my photographs I have researched 'bokeh' photography as I really like the effect. 

Potential target audience and organisation

Whilst I have been thinking about the styling of my artist, I have come across a few inspirational pictures of things which are similar to my aim. 

Drafting and planning

The name of my artist is Cobra Lily. I have been looking to develop the artists character. I came across this which represents a cobra. 

Organisation

I have been thinking about how I am going to style my model for my cover. I have decided this is the look I am aiming to go for and I have arranged to take photographs on Sunday the 19th of January so that I can begin to compose a draft version of my magazine cover.  This will enable me to materialise my ideas and allow me to see which parts of my cover and double page spread is going to work well and which parts will need to be altered. 

Drafting and planning and organisation

I have decided that this is the artist I am going to use. This is a photo which attempts to show the style I am aiming for with my magazine cover.
