FINAL magazine pitch:

Front Cover

• One main image of one of the subjects that I interviewed in my documentary, composed in the centre of my magazine to make it bold and intrigue readers to find out the story behind the main image
• GY, is a two letter title therefore with the research I have done I have noticed that short titles are generally placed on the top left of the magazine. I will keep with this convention as I believe readers will like the familiarity of a new lifestyle magazine and feel comfortable to pick it up and buy it
• The colour of the front page will link to the fact that the target audience are millennials. Millennials are known for their high technology, modern vibe and stylistically simple appearance. Therefore, using a modern theme and the idea that technology is involved I will use a greyscale colour theme however with the analysis I have done on a front cover I realise I will need to place a bolder or slightly out of theme colour that will attract readers
• The font I will be using will be serif typeface, this is a typical convention that magazines use. I will specifically be using Sans Serif on my front cover in bold. I have decided to do this because I feel millennials will be more attracted to modern text and not Serif which has the element that the magazine is targeted to older band of millennials. I believe my magazine is targeted to the newer band of millennials and more into their technology. I have not decided if I will have all my texts in capital and therefore I will test this when I start creating my magazine.

I still have a couple elements I want to test out, for example deciding whether the title is in the foreground or the model. Above are the factors of the magazine I want to generally use as it uses conventions of magazines however still has elements of 'new lifestyle' magazine that I will create that will also differentiate to other magazines.


Double Page Spread

• For my title I will leak the title over the two pages. The reason for this is that I can make it clear to readers the articles are related to each other
• The main image of my double spread will be of the people I have used in my documentary, therefore it keeps a sense of relation between magazine and audio visual to readers so that they are interested in the peoples lives and watch the show to find out; this will be my main image. Following from this I will has smaller images (max 3 more) to fill out the page and because it is also a convention of a magazine
• Carrying on from the above point, in my articles I will use an interview style transcript so readers can get a flavour of the show. The questions I use in my show will be from my documentary, it teases the readers as the questions will be on the controversial side and what other millennials want to know about themselves they will be willing to watch the show
• As my documentary is based on an interview/quiz-like theme I have decided to add rhetorical questions where it questions my millennial readers about themselves, therefore I will address my readers and make them feel like they are part of the show and its context
• Like my front cover, the colour used will be associated with its readers; modern, high-quality, sophisticated. Millennials are known to be the most highly skilled in technology and I believe colours like, gold, silver, white and black associate with this. 

As my audience will be 18-35 years olds I also have no gender or ethnic specific audiences as I want to target the cohort of millennials as a whole rather than marginalise other groups.
