Model/Style Icons• For my Indie-Pop magazine I want just one model.• My style icons and influences are Lana Del Rey in particular,

Florence & The Machine, Kate Nash, Ellie Goulding and Marina & The Diamonds.

• I want someone with little to no freckles and blemishes, with quite a plain, simplistic and porcelain complexion so the images need hardly any editing or filters on them.

• I chose these particular style icons because they all fit in with my genre. They all are alternative music artists and this is not only portrayed through their melodious music but their vintage classy style of dress as well.

Theme• I would like my magazine to have a vintage 1970s/80s retro type

feel to it hence why I will be choosing to include what is stated below.

• I want to follow the idea of mainly black and white in my magazine, with as splash of gold/yellow throughout the magazine as well, so its attention grabbing, making it symbolic as it represents light, happiness adds a vibrant edge.

• I want to use this theme because it in-keeps with my chosen genre. This is through the timeless and classy theme which will run throughout the magazine, which will link in with the classy, harmonious, chic elements of my chosen genre.

Front Cover• I’m going to use one close up shot on the front cover for impact.• I want everything on the front cover to be in black and white (charcoal type

colour) with only some of the text and other elements of the front over in a golden yellow colour.

• This is because the genre of my magazine is vintage/retro, the shabby grained chic look should be complimented through these attributes.

• Colours will give and then contrast with one another will achieve my theme.• Keeping the idea of Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe in mind in the

point above.• My front cover will follow this genre by having all the elements listed above

included on it. The use of these things will also reinforce my genre because firstly; the close up shot portrays a look of innocence and it makes the magazine instantly personal and relatable because of the intensity of the picture readers feel as if it is directly at them specifically. Going back to the aforementioned look of innocence it relates to the harmonious nature my magazine pertains.

• Furthermore, the monotone colours gives off the idea and impression that quite classy, timeless and melodious music is to be found inside because of its elegant shabby chic look.

Contents Page• I want my contents page to follow the same colour theme.• I want Polaroid pictures of my model to run ¾’s of the way across the page

vertically downwards, so there is more space of the right hand side of the page for text.

• On the left hand side of the Polaroid's I want a charcoal coloured background where the contents of the page will be numbered in chronological order, this is because I want to keep it the same colour scheme as the cover page.

• On the right hand side of the Polaroid’s I want the background to be a off white colour, with the information about exclusives and special features of the magazine there also, this is again because I want to keep it as the same colour scheme as the front cover and the off white colour next to the grainy charcoal colour contrast nicely and vividly.

• My contents page will link in with my genre because the Polaroid picture frames I will be using to show off miniature taster images I have taken of my model before the double page spread. The frames will be mirroring the instant photos Polaroid's usually produce, ones that can't be manipulated. The old fashioned way. These images will also represent my model in an authentic, classic way, as these types of films and frames are occasionally used In the fashion industry, by modelling agencies who use them to realistically and naturally represent the models.

• These representations are all vintage in style and the old fashioned element of the Polaroid cameras images reinforce the fact that my magazine is striving to have that harmoniously, vintage melodic theme running through it, complimenting the genre.

Double Page Spread• I want to again follow the same style as I have done on my cover page and

contents page.• Black, white and golden yellow theme.• On the left hand page, I want my a medium close up shot of my model to

take up the entire page, with her name and a quote that she has said in her interview.

• On the right hand page, I want a completely vintage black and white floral background. For the article and interview I want it to be presented in white boxes so they stand out against the flowers.

• The elements on my double page spread compliment my chosen genre of Indie-pop because again the flowery theme, specially due to the way I intend to edit it will have a vintage look to it, like a grainy, ‘flickery’ old film would have.

• The DPS and this is what I intend to do, it gives me both the ‘Indie’- (independent) and ‘pop’- (eclectic) elements I intended to achieve.

But black and white…
