Main Task - Action Plan

What I plan to call the magazine: Acoustic Unplugged
I have chosen this name because my magazine is an acoustic magazine and I do not like the single word on it’s own therefore I will include another word. I thought Unplugged would be an appropriate word.

Ideas for the front cover image (remember that this is what makes or breaks the magazine sales) :  Model in woods? Or in a place but several poses taken then merged into one (guitar on close up looking into camera then several positions cropped in to it below). Could be used for double page spread. Could do a close up?

What do I need to do to achieve this?
  1.  Use a friend as a model.                                         
  2.  Practise on photoshop
  3. Use a public location (woods or beach)                    
  4. Consider what clothes
  5.  Find a camera with good quality.                             
  6. Think up poses
Ideas for the main cover line and other sell lines( and tag line):
EXCLUSIVE Brooke Jones tells us about what her lyrics really mean! (include pull quote)
Tagline: Passion strikes back.

Ideas for the contents page:
Have it quite sophisticated and clear. Have one side listing and the other with boxes – half picture half quote. Very similar to preliminary task mock up.

What do I need to do to achieve this?
  1. Decide who will be featured in the boxes     
  2. Decide what will be included in magazines
  3.  Think of a number of pages to have 
  4.  Make a mock up and consider several different designs
  5.  Look into typeface’s to use                                                               

Ideas for the double page spread – type of feature.
Have an interview with one image enlarged on one side and a pullquote and on the other side have simply text (question and answer). Quite informal.

What do I need to do to achieve this?
  1.  Think of questions - list them.
  2. Consider the style of image
  3.  Think of the layout style (slightly discussed above)
  4. Consider colours - decide when I've had feedback.
