My magazine production so far...

So far we have designed our front covers and double page spread so the audience can identify our magazine from the layout, even though they are going to be 3 different editions.

We decided on our target audience which is going to be 16-19 year old boys. Mainly because if you were to look at adverts in most film magazines these days, they are targeted at males.
The mode of address will be simple, laddish slang that everyone knows. However, i am finding this hard to do right now as i can't help writing in a sophisticated style!

I am doing the 50 best British films edition, the double page spread will be the number 1 British film, which will be Trainspotting.
So far, i'm in the middle of writing my article and i've taken most of my pictures. (thanks to Joshua - he stood out in the freezing cold in just a tank top and jeans with a cigarette and a bucket of water poured over him! And of course Michael and Tim)
The article will include a review, research, the awards the film won and the change it made in cinema amongst other key facts.
A short interview with a member of the public will be shown in a box at the side which agrees with the fact that Trainspotting is one of the best British films for this certain audience.

The mock ups for the double page spread and front cover have been done now and all i am left to do is write the article and start to properly put together my front cover and double page spread on the computer.

Still a lot to do.
