Planning Production

Front cover
For my magazine I have decided to use my friend for the main image. I am going to make sure that she represents the genre of the magazine by making her look like unique and attractive and wear something that will represent music. For the colour scheme I am going to use the following colours: hot pink, electric blue, purple and white. The models makeup is going to be very bright and unusual to catch the buyers eye and make it look different from any other magzine on the market.
