End of July update post
This month I did not achieve as much as I expected, I wanted to have my pitch finished allowing me to start my planning properly but I still have to completed my pitch in regards to photo shoot possibilities and colour scheme etc. This has taught me that I need to focus more on achieving my aims each month if I want to manage this project with good time management.

Pitch- Genre
The genre for my regional magazine is… Fashion and Beauty.
I choose this genre because as a 17 year old girl I have read a lot of different magazines of the genre which means that I have prior knowledge to the typical conventions of fashion magazines, I know what styles I like and those that i don't think worked as well. This will help me when I am planning and producing my own magazine because I can relate back to my own personal experiences with this genre and improve it through my research. This wasn't the only reason I choose this genre, I also take a very keen interest fashion and beauty and love looking at new trends and trying new beauty products so I will have fun creating this magazine.
I want my magazine to be unique and link well with my region of the North East and therefore I want to in corporate local models, local clothing and beauty brands and other things such as mentions of the norths best shopping centres to make sure the target audience can relate. This means that the genre of the fashion I choose will be different than it would be if I was making a regional magazine down south where they typically have better weather etc.

To do list (July)
In this month I plan to begin my initial research and planning by producing my initial pitch. My plan is the following;
- To purchase existing magazines and read them for inspiration.
- To decide which type of direction I want my magazine to go in.
- To produce a pitch in regards to target audience, images, locations etc.
