MAKING MY ANCILLARY PRODUCT:

MAGAZINE.

ANCILLARY MAGAZINE PLANNING:“VISION”Inspiration for layout of

“Vision Magazine”:

For my ancillary product, I chose to do a Television Magazine named vision, with its main feature being “FRESHERS”, I have chosen a classier Television magazine as I feel it relates better to my soap opera. The following magazine below is my inspiration for how I aspire Vision to look.

Here is a very basic layout plan of how I plan on making my magazine front cover: it is a guideline to guide myself through the creation of my magazine and how I plan on making it look.

MAGAZINE LAYOUT:

IMAGES AND BACKGROUND:

Here is a photograph to show the image that I plan on using with the background, I have just used a slight creamy colour for my cover.

This is the image of Josh, one of our main characters on our soap opera trailer: Fresher's. I chose this image of Josh because I feel its a “feel good” photo with his smile and good attitude towards the camera, this is something that reflects his personality of his character in Fresher's and has been displayed very well through this photograph. I took this photograph on a green screen back drop, which I then edited with my partner on photo shop to make a transparent background.

MASTHEAD OF THE FRONT COVER:

Above is the masthead of my chosen inspiration “Fabulous” magazine, This masthead is hidden behind the stars head therefore I decided to do this for my magazine with my main star for my front cover, bringing my photograph forward and text backwards. With regards to the font of my masthead I also followed my inspiration of Fabulous magazine with an elegant font as I feel it fitted in well with the branding of my Soap Opera and the classy elegant style that I was going for, I have made the font italic to make a classy statement and to enable there is no “tackiness” displayed on the cover of my magazine isn't that type of magazine style.

FEATURES ON THE COVER OF VISION:The main feature of

the magazine is meeting JP, who is the main character in the show and has just revealed to be a homosexual, so that this would attract the audience to read the story.

This feature is in the bottom corner of the magazine, it is a gossip feature in order to keep the audience keen and hooked onto the programme as it is a “fresher's” special.

The following features on the right are related to the programme and issues related within the programme such as drugs so that this enables the audience to relate with the characters and how they’re feeling as they are realistic day-to-day issues which some teenagers have to face.
