1- for my photographic subject it will be a picture I take of a model and I am choosing this because I really want to try working with photography for this assignment and try out the cameras and lighting.
2- I will most likely use a typeset font unless I can't find what I am looking for. I want a big, artistic font for the title and something smaller and simpler for the other text on the cover.
3- The content my magazine will explore is to get the 'perfect yet natural' look. Through my cover I want to bring to people's attention just how fake the things they show us in magazine's really are. They are photoshopped and unrealistic and I think this assignment and the angle I am choosing will allow me to explore photoshop and also bring an important matter to people's attention.
4- I will be creating my own magazine for this assignment because I want to make the title satirical and the best way to do this is to create my own title and magazine.
5- Since this magazine will never have been seen before because it doesn't exist, it allows me to change things up since I am not confined by the boundaries other popular magazines have set for themselves. I really want thid to look like a normal magazine at a glance, but close up, your view will change on how you see the magazine.

Content possibilities:
I want to hook viewers with first a gorgeous girl on the cover, mean want to look at her, women want to learn how to look like her. Upon further inspection of the cover they start to read the tag lines and title and are taken aback. They thought this was a normal magazine cover and are surprised when it brings all the things people do to make you think that covergirl is perfect.
