Prep Work - Taking photos

We were given a task in media to take a photograph of what the school represents for us..

So once SIR said go.. we grabbed a camera and went to explore the school grounds..

First we thought well take a picture of Maximillian Kolbe because all of our group thought we should take a picture of an iconic figure. But that decisions was in a haste so therefore after thought and various viewpoints we narrowed it down to stuck in school.. it sounded odd at first but then we thought the picture can explain the saying.. so we went out to take a picture that captured our emotion and thought. We needed a picture with scenery but at the same time something that represented being stuck.. SO we found a cage.. we positioned the camera where the building was behind the cage.. and we came up with this picture that we changed to black and white to make it look more dull since we all agreed school was boring..

Naming the magazine....

After various thoughts on what  to call the magazine we came up with a title called physique.... 

When naming the magazine this name we came across the title, as a problem for it was more of a fitness mag then a mens fashion/lifestyle mag....

So we used our resources e.g the thesaurus to come up with a name both unique and relevant....

so after narrowing down title with words such as handsome to majestic and elegant, we came up with the title....

ADONIS - which meant handsome in greek which we saw fit to name the magazine....

Magazine layouts

We looked at different mens magazine front covers, and looked at the different types of possible layouts. We found that the majority of the mens magazines that share similarities of content had a similar layout on the front cover. This can imply and indicate that these magazines take and share ideas from one another. This is what we intend to do. We shall find the layout we think it is best suited to our magazine and interpret as our own.

Adonis Magazine

We have decided to create a mens lifestyle magazine. Through research we have found that our main competitors are magazines such as FHM, GQ, Loaded, Stuff etc. However, these magazines are aimed at the older male audience and our main target are boys aged 16-19. Therefore we decided to cover topics that teenage boys were interested in and chose to do topics such ad film, music, sport, gadgets, fashion etc. etc.
