Inspiration for Magazine Shoot

To get ideas for my photo shoot I looked through some existing fashion magazines editorials and interviews. I used Grazia, Glamour and Marie Claire as my inspiration, as well as the e-magazine for netaporter.com The Edit. I chose these magazines because they contain a house style that I would ideally like to replicate within my own magazine - clean, simple and attractive to look at. From looking at these magazines I have more of an idea as to the kind of images I am going to take, the costume/make-up I will use, the poses I will position my model in and ideas of different fonts I would like to use. In addition, the contents page for The Edit has given me inspiration as to how I would like to set out my own. 



I personally am a consumer of fashion magazines so I used these as an inspiration for the type of photos I would like to take. Although my photo shoot will not be fashion orientated, the poses used and overall look of the images/features on the page looks attractive which is what I would like to recreate in my own magazine. Some of the interview/articles in particular have further helped as they have given me ideas of how I would like the layout of my double page spread to look e.g. pull quotes, drop caps, italics vs. bold etc.
