This is my finished project. The cover page has dramatic lighting to try and emphasise the dramatic information about the coming weeks, and about how there is going to be a drastic change in the artists out career. We find this out later in the magazine when we look at the article on the double page spread.
The house style is a red masthead located at the top of the page on each front cover of the magazine and I use page numbers are the bottom corners (furthest from the centre) of each page, there is also a barcode & the other main things needed for a magazine.
The cover lines are located either side of the model as it will not cover him up & lose emphasis on the image and the editing to the photography. The model is also looking into the camera, and his eyes are the brightest thing on the page after the text.
My contents page has faded lines in each corner to indicate that it is the contents page, this would be the same for each of my magazines, and is a main component to my house style. The contents page will always be in black and white minus a few photos 'in front' of the model as this draws emphasis to them, I would use these areas to advertise special articles and 'one offs'
I sectioned each of the categories and clearly labelled the page 'Contents' to prevent confusion. I had to drastically change this page as there were several things wrong with it, however the changes make the page look a lot more professional, however keeping my slightly more alternative, and hipster look.
The double page spread use minimal images and has one model in the background, as the article is very much so textually based, and should not orientate around a photograph. However I have used anchorage as the two previous photo's have been quite serious & I have not made the model to look as energetic previously. In this image there is a change, as the article is about change. People would be shocked to see my model like this if they had any prior knowledge to his personality & this is my reasoning for making the model (representing G-Eazy) behave so unusually.

Almsot finished
This is what I have at this current moment, I have the elements of the article together, it is just a matter of combining them.
I think that it would have been nicer if i had made the cover page have reached the edges of the page instead of having it separated.
I also think that the contents page could have had some more sections for me to write about
I liked the sizing on the cover page as it used size, touch ups, and cover lines well.
Here is the before and after of the touching up i did for my model. I changed the saturation on the image for my house style as well as removed sports & other imperfections on my models face.

Design Of Cover Page
I ahev started the design of the cover page so that I can be prepared to simply add the images after the photoshoot takes place. I can not make any more progress until my model has done all the things they need to do in preperation to take the photo's at this time. So i am doing all i can do for now.

PRMNT Magazine Proposal
This is my proposal to the magazine itself. I was given some feedback, and people asked questions about my magazine.
(Sorry for the video being cut short, I was not editing the video, as it was all one long clip)
I was told that I should think more about specific things that I want to happen in my magazine. I have thought about running regular Q&A's, and also spotlight pages for a 'who to watch' area. This would suite my audience as they are quite adventurous, and would like to find upcoming stars.
They also told me that I should think if greyscale images is the best idea, it was simply a question. I have come to conclusion that this will work, the whole page will not be black & white, there will be colour on some of the text, and also part of my house style is going to be strips of colour around the edges of the pages.

London Bridge
My cover star is likely to fit the persona of one of two people, depending on which model I can get in for my photo-shoot. I would prefer to get someone that is likely to fit the persona of 'G-Eazy' however I do not think that this is going to be viable as his clothing choice is very unique and would cost a lot to buy in just for my photo-shoot.
Whereas my other possible persona is more a casual stereotypical American as he is trying to not seem out of the ordinary, and relatable, so he should be easy to replicate. He wears normal clothes and is called Witt Lowry.
