Fashion Magazine and website research - TREATMENT

Fashion magazine and website treatment

I have chosen to do a female fashion magazine and website. I have decided to call it ‘Lush’ because it is short and quick and easy to remember. The fashion I would like to put into my magazine and the website will be high street fashion that will be affordable. It will give advice for day and night looks, bargain buys and will give an “it’s worth it” section that will have a higher priced item than all the others but of good quality selling it to the readers. It will have a hair, health and beauty section giving all the latest trends, advice and tips. It will give you price comparisons of what’s on the catwalk to the highstreet and find the look for less. Also in the magazine and on the website readers will be able to catch up with the latest celebrity news, horoscopes, competition and a help section. For my colour theme I will have red, black and white. Many magazines use pink, black and white but I want mine to be different and stand out more because it isn’t pink. The colour theme will be on the magazine and website. The cover model I have chosen for my magazine will be Holly Willoughby because she always has endless classic style and she dresses to her body shape. All women all look up to her as an inspiration as a woman and for fashion. As she has her own fashion range she can promote it to the readers and we can offer an exclusive discount to. Story ideas for the cover will be a feature article on Holly Willoughby, 50 seasonal buys and offers, 10 fun easy ways to be fit and healthy, sexy hair and beauty tips, 20% off at New Look offer.
