Magazine Flatplan(2)

 Before beginning the photoshoot i created a simple flatplan to outline what the layout will possiply look like so i have that in mind while i take the pictures

preparing front cover photoshoot

As I am not entirely happy with my last cover page of the magazine I have decided to do a photoshoot for a new cover page and slightly revamp the cover page to match the content and double page spread as they feel a little disconnected.

I thought I would document the process of me preparing for this shoot.

I went with the idea of enzi a textile creator and one of his textiles featuring in the cover by a model in a kimono style piece of clothing, so I went out to purchase a fabric to match this feeling.

So after buying the fabric I quickly realized I don't have the materials needed to create my clothing vision so I took the fabric to a Tailor and explained my vision.

• At the tailor to get Enzi's cover feature  textile sewed

the vision was to fuse different cultural elements like a japanese kimono with african silhouttes which i would imagine my made up character Enzi would do in his recent collection which was briefly discussed in my article.

I will show the result in the final photoshoot blog post/evidence post

(Social media Integration for marketing)(1)making a social media account for my blog

To answer one of the questions of how my magazine would perform in the real world I decided to create a social media page for my blog to simulate a more realistic feel and maybe I could even add it into my magazine that there is social media integration with faux interviews as well. The purpose of the page could also be to advertise the magazine similar to some of the magazines I have done research on like vogue,Elle Sunday times etc.
