Magazine Planning

Planning.

For my A2 Media Project I will be creating 3 Articles, 1 Entertainment page, Front cover, Back cover advertisement and a content page. Below is the break down of each section, with contingency plans if needed.

Front Cover: The photo will reflect the main article of the magazine, which is about the Emirates Park Zoo located on 12th Street, Al Bahia. This photo will be A child will one of the animals at the zoo. The front cover will include; a mast head/title which is usually at the top of the page. Subheadings of different articles. Tagline to attract the audience. Sneak peaks at the bottom of the page with some small pictures. A border around the outside of the picture.

Contingency Plan: Group photo with an animal background, or just an animals. The front cover child all depends on what permissions I receive.

Back Cover: It will be a full page advertisement of a place that is mentioned in the magazine. It will be constructed using an existing attraction, that I have tailored to suit the purposes of this project. The advertisement like everything else to do with the magazine with center around the idea of educating a generation and families.

Content Page: A contents page includes: A masthead advertising the title of the page. Date of issue.Page Numbers, and locations of the stories. A list of the article headings with a small blurb of the article. Subheadings, boxes and dividers between each different topics. A couple of small pictures that correspond with the articles.

Article 1: Review of the emirates park zoo, explaining my experiences. these will include the positives of the trip and the zoo and the negative experiences with advice of how to over come these issues.   

Originally it was interviews of the staff explaining there jobs, role in the zoo, the animals they look after, positives and negatives. However, due to lack of communication from the zoo, this is no longer possible.

Article 2: Essentials for a day out in Abu Dhabi. This will include safety for children in particular areas, tips for attractions, what to pack for different locations. 

Article 3: Kids Corner!: This is a bunch of small interviews with children about there favorite animal with a drawing of this animal.
