Research conclusion

My sub genre for my magazine is fashion, which is most likely to appeal to 16-24 year olds because it is a large topic across social media and fashion trends are usually aimed at teens or young adults.

my target audience is 16-24 year old females who are particularly interested in fashion.

my name for my magazine will be 'showcase' because it is related too modelling outfits and showcasing them.

my tagline will be 'the fashion of a new generation' because it specifies that the magazine is for the younger generation and its not to long.

for my front cover i will use a long shot with a plain block colour back round ,and with use one of my friends as models.the typography will be very elegant and classy.

im thinking of using light colours like grey,white and black and maybe include some deeper colours like a deep red.

i will use a long shot for my cover with one of my friends as models and i think this is a good choice because it will show of the chosen outfits.

my cover lines will consist of specific fashion trends and viral social media trends.

on my contents page the subjects will include fashion trends, outfits, individual clothes and little bit of beauty that matches the outfits.the style of it will be elegant maybe black and white colour theme.

The main image i will have on my contents page will be a medium long shot and may be black and white. there also may be some smaller images included on the page.

The style on my article page will be very put together and clean, everything will be related in terms of colour and text style.

My article will be about outfits and how to nstyle and pair them with different accessories and hairstyles etc.

The images on my article page will be a mix of full body shots and close ups that fit into my colour scheme.

I will show that the three pages are from the same magazine because the contents will be similar across all pages and the colour scheme will be the same.

The typography across all three pages will be classy and sleek such as a serif.

The representation throughout the pages will be stylish women that are tall and intelligent.
