For the making of the magazine I knew I wanted it to be printed high quality and in glossy stock. I booked myself a digital print slot as I knew it would fill up and I didn't want to be left without anything to hand in.
I decided I wanted glossy stock as this is what magazines such as Vogue look like. Also I wanted this perfect high quality magazine as when looking at beauty ads etc this is what you see.
I asked a friend to model different Vogue covers for me and she took these on a mobile phone camera. This didn't really matter as what I wanted to show this idea of natural beauty.
I used a typeface that was similar to the Vogue typeface. This was called Dubiel and is a serif font which is quite typical of high fashion magazines. I also used times new roman for the body copy.
The colour scheme was basic with the only colour being from the photographs. I then used black and white as I felt this was very classy and would make it look high quality rather than using a mass of colours which in my opinion would make it look messy and less high quality.
I used quite a lot of quotes in my book as I wanted to get this point of natural beauty across instead of this idea of photoshopping models in which people aspire to.
My magazine is called Natural as this was the point of my idea. I want to show people that there is nothing wrong with being natural and people shouldnt be aspiring to look like these models which don't even look like that themselves.
The front page of my magazine is printed on high quality thick gloss stock and the pages are a matte stock which still is high quality. To bind the book together I stapled it as this is typical to most magazines and I felt this was most appropriate for the magazine.
