Magazine Cover

My initial ideas for my design brief:

- Fashion magazine - About the latest fashions, where to get them, what looks good, celebrity sightings of what they are wearing, latest trends, bargains, competitions to go shopping in London, New York. Targeted at women between the ages of 16-30. It would be of similar specification to magazines such as "Vogue, Marie Claire". Colour scheme ideas would be related to the fashion colour or print that is in at the time that the magazine would be made and published.

- Male fashion magazine - to make this more challenging, another idea would be to do exactly the same but targeted at males.
This would be more challenging because it would require more research into what males like rather than creating a magazine of what i would like to see.

-Home and Living magazine - About houses, interior, decorations, how to get the modern look in your house/vintage look/country look, etc. This magazine would be targeted at adults between the ages of 30-40 looking to re-decorate their house or find another house and move away. Eco-friendly tips and places to shop (Ikea) would also be mentioned and advertised throughout the magazine. This would be similar to a magazine such as "Homes and Gardens". Colour schemes such as green, white, brown, pink because they are typical colours that would be found in the garden, because it would be hard to make a colour scheme based on inside interior to suit the magazine, and greens are neutral.

-Car magazineMore likely to be aimed at men but this could be aimed at women, older adults, about sports cars, or vintage cars. For example magazines such as "Classic Ford" or "Maxpower". Colour schemes for this magazine would be black, blue, white silver if it was aimed at males and classic cars, but for sports cars aimed at men i would use more of a brighter range of colours because they would naturally be aimed at the younger generation or younger adults and for women i would use subltle girly colours but not too bright for classic cars for women, but for sports cars i would use brighter colours because again it would then be aimed at the younger generation.

- Film magazine - A magazine listing the latest films and their ratings and what people thought about them. Reviews on the films that are currently in the cinema and information and a bit of gossip about the relevant actors. Colour schemes for this magazine would have to fit both sexes because films aren't just male/female and i wouldn't want to do a magazine based on either films that are targeted more at males or films targeted more at females because most films are more mixed gender that are released into cinemas and that would be what everybody would be wanting to hear and read about.
