Planning: Title - Font Decision.

They're many fonts that could of been chosen to be my title for my three pages, the title on each page will be the biggest size text, therefore needs to be easily visible and readable to my audience. 
A list of these fonts consist of:
Arial
Impact
Calibri
Nueva Std Cond
Garamond
Adobe
Myriad Pro
Verdana
Times new roman

I narrowed the list down to the fonts that I felt were most appropriate for my magazine:
Arial
Impact
Calibri
Nueva Std Cond.

I decided to use 'Impact' style font as it is really bold and readible to my audience. It is also very elegant and appealing. This will be good as it will be eye-catching to my audience. It also can contrast with many different types of a designs and animation. Impact font is a capatible font and will go great with the magazine pages design I have planned.

Planning: Cover Story

Planning: Props and Costumes

Due to my genre (rap) there is many different props and costumes that I can use, relating back to the genre. However due to the current century and my target audience my options for props and costume will be limited.
The props and costume predominately used in this generation of rap are:
· Liquor bottles
· Tattoos
· Bling (Jewellery, shiny accessories and material)
· Nice clothes (expensive suits, etc)
· Sophisticated gangster style
· Ghetto gangster style
· Low riding
· Topless
· Money
· Girls
· Sunglasses
· Drugs
· Religious symbols

For my magazine I plan to use go with the sophisticated gangster style, having my models dress up smartly, as if they’re too wealthy to be dressing in the ‘ghetto look’. I have decided to this because the rap artist of today portray themselves this way and by conforming to the typical ‘look’and styles of today’s Rap artist will appeal to my target audience. I will also use some props, such a liquor bottle and a bling. The reason I have chosen this image for my models is because this is what my target audience will be appealed too as this is what they’d expect from a rap image. Using these props and costumes will offer a sense of familiarity to the audience.

Planning: Treatment

My product will promote the rap genre of music. My product will use two different fonts depending on what it is promoting (front cover and context); It will have the font ‘impact’ on the front page and San serif for the context page.  I plan to have a picture (of me) on my front cover, promoting a new rap album releasing soon. Magazines going to show the latest rap news out in the music industry, gossip about rappers/relationships and any new up coming rappers that are upcoming. It will also show interviews from famous rappers. In my magazine I will use Calibri fonts.

Planning: Photoshoot Plans & Contact Sheets

For my magazine pictures, I plan to take a picture with a Nikon D 5200 in a professional studio with my actors & atresses. This camera is a professional camera system, this camera has a high mega-pixle count that will capture all the features of my actors & actresses that are needed. The fact that the photoshoot is taking place in a professional studio, with a professional white back drop, is that so I can edit the pictures easily and that there's no clash with colours, between the back drop and the actors/actresses. Here are the pictures, I have taken and are going to select from to use in my magazine Here are the images I took, I asked my actors and actresses to pose in the 'rich celebrity' image, however also show a hint of rap 'gangster' as that is a typical view of rap groups.
