Planning editions 1 and 2

above I have attached an initial mind map for the front cover and contents page for the first 2 editions of my fashion magazine 'Kaleidoscope' I am aiming to do a summer and autumn edition for each cover surrounding a variety of themes. For my summer edition my theme is going to be colours and expression. I am going to do this through having a brightly, coloured background with a model being in an unconventional pose seen on magazine front covers such as smiling or sticking their tongue out to express their individuality, I am also going to reinforce this idea through the feature lines on my cover. My autumn edition  is going to be focused on, feminism and street wear, I am going to show this through having a model wearing clothing associated with street wear brands and trends seen in the industry and popular urban magazines such as i-d and dazed. To project my feminist theme my model with have a serious facial expression and political topics will be in my feature lines.

To make sure my house style is the same I will follow the same layout for both editions of my magazine front cover:

• the masthead will be at the top of the page in the same glitch  font for both editions
• the image will be central with the model's angle of gaze directly towards the camera
• the model's name along with a pull quote will be central at the bottom of the page in the same Gothic font for both editions
• there will be a short summary sentence at the bottom of the page in bold sans serif font

I will also ensure the layout of my contents page will remain the same by having:

• 3 main images at the top of the page above different divided sections
•  the masthead will be at the top of the page above the contents typography
• The colour of the contents page typography will be the same colour  as the model's name on the front cover. 

I will ensure my theme will be different for both issues through the use of colour, images, font and feature lines. For my  summer edition my colour scheme will be yellow,orange, blue and pink whereas my autumn edition will contain red, green and different tones of orange and brown. 

For my images  I will use a range of close-up and medium long shots to add variation go my front covers and ensure my theming will be different.

Despite the tone of my feature lines remaining the same for both editions they contain a variation of content to match the theming of the issue.
