Introduction

I have been contracted to create a magazine which I have chosen  it to be an exciting new lifestyle magazine. I shall produce a front cover plus a double page spread.  While creating this magazine I will include planning and research. 

My task includes:

- Target audience profile 

- Mission statement 

- Target audince reseach ( questionnaires and focus group) 

- Analysis of results of reseach

- A brainstorm of codes and conventions of lifestyle magazines

- Analysis of existing media texts (for ideas and inspiration - 2 of each)

- A case study of existing magazine 

- Exploring a costume ideas 

- Exploring ideas for mise-en-scene (settings, props, body language, facial expressions)

- Carrying out a reconnaissance and reseach into locations.

- Deciding which ´people´will feature in your magazine and in your three texts.

- A written introduction to the person that will appear in my three pieces.

- Analysis of possible fonts to use on my three pieces and make font choices.

- Choosing appropriate actors.

- Carrying out practise shots.

- Producing mock-ups with explanatory notes. 

- Carry out a post-production questionnaire and research.

By the end of all these tasks, I am hoping to use all this information, and results of research to be able to create my new lifestyle magazine and make it successful.
