Polly's Final Major Project Idea.

Im going back to my idea on celebrities and how their lives are plastered all over our magazines, and how things that happen to celebs also happen to normal people everyday but because of their fame, their stories, however boring or small they may be, are still glorified and published all over our magazines/newspapers.
I want to collect stories from normal people and recreate gossip magazine shots about their lives, and somehow put them into the public eye to see reactions.
My original idea was to recreate a gossip style magazine based on my area/social group, but I think I need to develop this further, as the magazine wouldn't be technically 'real' and I wouldn't really have an audience.
I basically want to glamourise normal people's lives, and be paparazzi to the public.
I'm still not sure what my outcome will be but this is the basic concept behind it.

Sorry to say, but I think that your central premis is flawed..highlighting the ordinary into celebrity- would rather emulate gossip mags or be a print version of Jeremy Kyle? You could also argue that we are at saturation point in this genre?
