WHAT TO INCLUDE: ‘GET THIS LOOK ‘• In my magazine I am thinking about including a get this look

section on my double page spread. Although I am not doing a fashion magazine, I am thinking about how I could use the features they have and incorporate it into an interior design magazine. I think that including this kind of feature in my magazine will work well because it’ll make the magazine look more interesting and useful because the reader will then be able to know where the item is available from meaning they can use the magazine and actually purchase items that are featured without having to look all over for them.

• As I’m doing a university edition, I think that including this will be very appealing to my target audience as most students will be moving out and be needing to get things in for their new flat. Along with this, the prices in my magazine are going to reflect the actual prices in the stores therefore I am going to make sure that they are all affordable.

INTRODUCTION • In my introduction I will include a quick brief about the

magazine and the article that I will be talking about. As its an interior design magazine, I will have to provide information about décor and what colours suit which rooms so that it is informative. Along with this, in the introduction I am going to have to use devices to make the magazine regional, such as using local ‘slang’ and terms that are related to Sunderland/ The north east.

INSPIRATION

This article Is about designing the house for Christmas and I think that I could take inspiration from this article as I am talking about designing your room for a new flat therefore they relate.

The way in which the article is written makes it come across as very formal and informative and it includes the reader along the way to keep them interested.In the article the author writes about how to use space efficiently and how to decorate that space therefore I am going to have to do some research into interior design and ask people who I know like that thing to see what makes a design suitable and what to include in my article.

The length of this article isnt very long and this is the size that I am thinking about as I am also wanting to add in a ‘get this look’ as I think that it will make the magazine look more interesting and be more useful for students over reading a massive paragraph about how to design a room that has no previous décor in.
