Proposal

 Proposal:

I have chosen for my magazine to be named 'Download' as it links well with the online and social media aspects of the covers and also appeals to the readers demographic and generation of the magazine that it is aimed towards- also images throughout the front cover page and contents page can be used to relate to the magazine title too which this idea can be used again in my Wix website designed for the magazine- almost downloading the online version of download? 

I plan to use many elements of media language within my 2 front cover pages by using bold colours throughout both covers to allow for different elements of the magazine to stand out, along with this the typography for my title 'Download' will contrast with the background in bold lettering to inform the readers and separate each story on the cover. The use of adverts and puffs will also be used on both front covers as this is generally seen on many real life magazines and interests readers further. My main story will be positioned next to my main front cover image that will clearly relate to my main cover star, this main headline/story will be larger in comparison to my other real life stories as it shows its importance to the magazine and separates each to look cleaner on the magazine cover. 

This will be the same style for both of my 2 contents pages as well, going with the same colour scheme seen in the front cover pages so that each magazine flows well, along with similar typography when listing each page for each story and their subheadings, making it easier for readers to find a specific area that they may want to read about (similar to on the website). I will also layer more real life images on these contents pages to surround the pages and also relate them to the stories around them and give further context that might interest more readers. On both contents pages there will as well be adverts for the audience to win competitions, and places where they are able to get involved and submit their own stories- similar to a typical gossip/ real life magazine. 

In an attempt to address the specific target audience (16- 25 year olds) I will be using imagery that is quite exaggerated for my real life stories as in combination with the dramatic headline, will draw their attention over to the story- alongside the use of imagery on my website I will use real life stories of which I think will interest the demographic.
