Planning my Photoshoot
When taking my pictures for my magazine, I will be using two of my friends, Emma and Jess, as my models. Emma will be on the front cover, as she is the person I intend to use in my featured article. The pictures I take will mainly be in black and white. This will help the text I add to the pages to stand out more, and will also link in with my initial colour scheme.

Planning my Front Cover
When planning my front cover, my main picture will fill the whole page, acting as a background. With the picture being in black and white, the text I add shall be bright and colourful, in order for it to stand out. The title shall be in a larger text than the rest, and run accross the top of the page. Strap lines will be added at the top and bottom of the page, to advertise free posters within the magazine.

Planning my Contents Page
When planning my contents page i will use a range of images, showing what is featuring within my magazine. The colour scheme shall follow the front cover theme and all text shall be bright and bold, in order for it to stand out. The page willcontain a mini version of my front cover, showing where all cover stories can be found. Page references will be used in order for certain pages to be found within the magazine.

Planning my Featured Article
When planning my featured article, I shall create a number of questions in which I can add into my interview story. My article will be about my main cover star. I shall use a large photo of her and a few snappy lines to make the interview fun and exciting.
