Treatment

I will start research on magazines that are already sold in store. I will search for magazines with an interesting layout and hopefully get inspired. I will look at different genres of magazines and see what types of articles are published. I will use a wide range of materials and equipment from high duty paper to Canon cameras and Photoshop. The final look of the magazine will be glossy and will have a very strong, brand and theme that will stand out throughout the whole magazine. All photos in the magazine will be original and also have a theme carried out in the magazine. The planning will be very thorough and it will have everything in of what I need to do and when. The timetable and schedule will be very thorough also. I want to make a mock-up of my planes to show others and myself what my magazine might look like.

When constructing the magazine I will make sure I have had plenty more help and experience on both, Photoshop and InDesign when bringing the magazine together and designing the pages. I want every page to be as strong as the others and I want them all to ‘pop’. Making sure I have detailed sketches and plans will help me further down the line when making my pages.  I want the magazine to look very professional and have a glossy finish to it which will make it look much more up market.

When the construction is complete, I want a very extravagant way of promotion for the product. I would like to make an advertisement which would be played on TV, posters for shop windows and much more small little flyers etc... I will also design the products for a promotional stand which would be in the middle of town, showing off and selling the magazine. The big part of the promoting will be a mini exhibition that will take place in the Hub. The exhibition will be a showing of the magazine which should be a life-sized magazine where you can turn the massive pages and things are coming out of it. The idea of it will be to invite people into the new magazine and explore it. I think this will be a great, original way to show people the new, edgy magazine.
