Representation within the magazine

 I believe that in the magazine industry, it is evident to see that diversity has been more prevalent in issues and online, with diversity in race, gender, sexual orientation, age, ethnicity etc. In the past, magazines tended to show women in expressive roles, like looking after the children and housework, with fairy adverts and magazines on how to excentuate yourself to act in a ladylike ways. Whereas, male lifestyle would feature the more instrumental roles and how to be gentlemen, with topic about war, work and money. These types of stereotypes of gender and in fact all over diversities have begun to change and I would like to reflect this in my issues and cover stories.

1. For my first issue, I would wish to do a 50 year 'celebration throw back' of fashion- this would include a fashion edit of my model, Daisy, who will be turning into the modern day 70's fashion sensation, Twiggy. This will represent diversity, as due to Daisy being Trinidadian and Twiggy being English, she could represent the diversity in modern day modelling and society. For anniversary type editions of Hearst co. I have researched, it is evident that they use this code to celebrate their previous stars featured or success at the time of the anniversary, therefore I believe Twiggy would be a stelar example. Although, it will not be an 'anniversary' per say, I wish to use this same sort of layout, for it to be a reoccurring special for the magazine. I also would wish to make this a common occurrence  annually for my magazine, to celebrate not just fashion,  but special editions on culture etc. 

2. For my second issue, I am planning to do a beauty issue. This will feature different models following the current trends in makeup and beauty itself. I wish to make this issue up-to-date and 'a guide' for the audience to follow and copy. I wish to make it rather minimalist in comparison to the other unique issue of fashion, so I may show a contrast in my media creation, that I can display common modern trends, whilst also up-cycling past genres in fashion and beauty.
