O B S C E N E P U B LI C A T I O N S A C T:
When creating your own magazine, this is an illegal act to publish content that may negatively influence on the readers and to make them feel offended when reading the magazine.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
The target audience of my magazine is at 18-30 year old, male and female. The audience may be influenced on my magazine by my revealing the different events of the wedding week and getting the audience having inspiration for the wedding and making their wedding planning less stressful.
Having a South Asian wedding and announcing it to others, people stereo type the relationship of the marriage and assuming it being an arranged marriage from the parents finding a partner for their child looking for a partner. I will challenge this by expressing that having a love marriage can be a benefit and most likely express your love with one another as because you were able to build up your relationship together before taking the big step by taking the relationship into marriage. Having a relationship will have pros and cons. A pro being that the marriage is coming from your parents as in they will have an understanding of which partner is best for you to develop your life with.
I will be taking with this the food, music and talking about coming together as 2 families. eye level shots, couple shots emphasising the idea of community, love and coming together.
Imaginary identity:
Adam is a 23 years old man who lives in Darnall, Sheffield who is in a serious relationship with his Girlfriend, Anaya who is 21 years old.
Adam is a business owner of a gold jewellery shop and his Girlfriend is a fashion designer. Both Adam and Anaya have already came to an agreement with both of their families for them both to get married and to now plan their dream wedding.
As they both have upbringings of living in a cultured Pakistani households and expecting to have multiple cultural events during their wedding week, they both find it difficult for ideas and inspiration for their wedding events.
In Adam and Anayas free time together, they both read magazines related to Pakistani weddings to receive ideas and inspiration for them to include on their dream wedding. Adam and Anaya hopes to wear the colours red and black on their main wedding day to continue with the traditional pathway as a Pakistani groom and bride, and wishes their find the perfect outfits.

Libel law in relations to a magazine is an oral/written statement with the intent to cause/harm damage to an individual's/company's reputation. Libel law is illegal to publish defamatory (harmful) content about a person or publish untrue information.
For this act, I will expressing how having high ends luxury cars, having a long heavy wedding outfits and an outstanding intricate wedding suit doesn't mean that your Baraat is outstanding. I will be using images of my brother's Baraat to not say it was the best Baraat anyone could ever have, I am adding images of my brother's Baraat to create inspiration for the audiences who are planning their wedding.
C O P Y R I G H T :
Allows producers of content to protect their intellectual property and for it not to be used without permission.
For my magazine, I will be using my own photos that I will capturing individual photos of the bride and groom. As an evidence of me capturing these images, i have made my two models of the bride and groom to sign release and consent forms for them both to give permission to be involved in the magazine.
Another example prove of me creating my own assets for my magazine is that i will be creating my masthead and making it more related towards my magazine. Another example is that i will be using my own cover lines and visuals and revealing that creating this magazine is all my work.
If I was to create an interview of magazine, i will be creating a transcript of the interview for my brother and his wife and interviewing them questions about their wedding day and asking them questions that everybody may want the answer to and to help them plan their wedding with the answers from them and how they pre-planned their wedding day making the day go smooth.
L A W S O F C O N T E M P T :
It is a criminal offence to publish content that poses a risk to justice in proceedings. Prevents magazines from publishing anything that is too sensationalist about a criminal case.
E T H I C A L I S S U E S :
One ethical issue that I will have to keep in mind when creating a traditional South Asian wedding magazine is that I will have to ensure that there is an equality between genders, meaning that I will have to make sure male and female i.e, the bride and groom are presenting equally in the magazine.
Another ethical issue that is that I have respect for my models privacy and to ensure that they are entirely comfortable in being in my magazine. For me to achieve this, I will be creating consent forms for me to be able to receive permission from my models to see whether they are willing to be a part of my magazine.
The last ethical issue that I must be aware of making sure I show my respect for religions. I will have to ensure that my models and my articles are not violent and not any way of exploiting. I will have to ensure my models are presented suitably for my target audience and for me to ensure that I am respecting the religion.
