production schedule need to be completed by to the 5th May 2015 because they have to start working on their magazine for the new issue. This is important because this will let the staff know what they need to do and when the deadline for their tasks is over. This will also give time for the Editor to check and proof read the magazine before it is release to the public as they can contain some offensive information within the magazine.

They will create a flat plan of all of the pages that will be included in the magazine. This could include the front and back cover of the magazine.

Carry on with the flat plan creation. The have to it is important because this would have to be improving by the editorial board.

They will start to plan each story that will be involved in the magazine issue.

The launch date of my music magazine is on the 2nd June 2016. this is because the magazine will be able to have a full month of selling before the next issue is out and released to the general public. The reason why the magazine is on release on the 1st June 2016 is because it need time for the magazine to sent into shop.

Photography PlanImage

Location: White wall in the Kitchen White wall in the Kitchen

Time 1:25pm 1:40pm

Date 20th October 2015 20th October 2015

Why ? This is important because it is easier to edit the background of the white wall rather than having a pattern background and therefore hard to make the background to have the same background like the magazine of inspiration. In addition, the photoshoot will be taken in midday because I am able to get the best lighting for the image.

This is important because the photo shoot will be occurring in midday because if the natural light that can come through into the image, this will mean that the image will look much as natural because of the lighting. In addition, the reason why the image will be against a white wall is because it will be easier to edit or remove the background.

Picture Needed/Required Looking at the camera. Looking at the camera but her head position to the right side.

Shot Type Facial Shot Long Shot

Lighting Natural Light Natural Light

Costume Black Top Black faux leather trousers Teal faux fur coat. Black shoes

Why? This photograph need to shop a powerful women on the front cover in order to appeal to more female target audience. She is wearing black clothing because she will stand out from the rest . This phot must look dramatic in order to appeal more target audience to buy the magazine.

On the double page spread will show the model as a powerful women so that the audience will be interested of what she have to say. Below the image, their will be the interview that will connect the image to the interview so that people will be aware of the artist and what she have to say.

Permission Needed To take the image I have to have contact with the model(s) and make them sign the permission form before taking pictures of them. As I would need their permission use to the pictures. I also have to make the guardians to sign their form if the model in under the age of 18.

I also have to make the guardians to sign their form if the model in under the age of 18. so that we are able to come with a agreement with the photo shoot.

Potential hazard/Risk The kitchen may have potential risk when doing the photoshoot such as water on the floor. Knives on the table, oven could be on and burn down the house. Also you can break the lens or the camera. Broken glass could be on the floor. Uneven tiling on the floor to cause falling over.

Location ImageWhen I am looking for a location that I should take the image for the front cover and the double page spread. I would need a place that it is accessible with the Canon camera lighting , good lighting and also a white wall. So that could edit the background of the photograph. I have some planning where I have to check for any possible risks to me and the model before taking the image. In addition I would have to find out if risk to the camera if I take the image within a location.

The lighting is an important part of the photo shoot as it could make the image better as will be easier to see. This is why I am taking the image during the day time as the natural light will come out and therefore improve the image overall. This is why I am taking the image within the kitchen, as it meet the need that brief because it have white wall and also there are three large glass doors that will allow natural light in.

White Wall for photoshoot

Three large glass doors for natural light

WebsiteThe publisher website, Bauer is advertise EXCLUSIVE magazine on their website. This shows that this is helping EXCLUSIVE to because popular and successful. I have decided to created a mock up of what the EXCLUSICE page will look like on the Bauer website. This is why for people to research about the magazine and also if they would like to read the magazine or not. In addition, people are able to find out if there are jobs available within the magazine and want to gain more information before going to their interview. This is important as this will look professional and it will also reveal that my magazine will be made to a high standard. I have included the social media symbol on the website so that the audience will know that my magazine it available these sites. This will encourage the reader to follow us on these social media sites and therefore the reader will be able to build a better relationship with the magazine.

In order to know what the budget for my magazine, I will need to know the expected salary of each employees so that company will not be over or under paying their employees. So by creating the each job roles expected salary I will be able to estimated the profits or loss so that the magazine will make in the first or second year of their first issue. This is important because by gather of the job roles that are needed for the creation for the magazine so that the person who have the job will be specialist within the company and therefor they are able to do their job well. This is important as if the person is underpaid, they won’t as well because the person will think they are unvalued and therefore wouldn't’t care or work as hard for the production of the magazine.

Estimated Production Costs

By looking at the office space for the magazine is very important as all of the employees will have a place to work. This is important as if I have rented a building in London it would cost my company a lot of money and therefore may not be able to afford some items that is needed for the office, which could cause the employees unable to do their job. This is why I have decided to rent a office place that is outside London and when my office get bigger and successful it will be able to afford to rent a building in London. This is important as my company will be renting an office space in Thorncroft Drive, Leatherhead. This will cost the company £29400 a year to rent the building

Office Budget Cost:

Office Space £29400( 1 year)

Equipment £20,507

Printing £7559.04 (1 year)

Sources:http://www.flexioffices.co.uk/surrey/leatherhead/thorncroft-drive_kt22_id3758

I have done any bot of research into the printing cost of my magazine . This is important as the cost of the printing cost will affect the budget for the company and therefore the profit and loss of the magazine. This is important as the overall of cost for the printing for the magazine for one issue are £629.92 and therefore for 1 year of printing the magazine are £7559.04. This is important as I will able to chose the characteristic of the magazine and therefore check if the magazine will be glossy or not.

Estimated Production For the first year the company will use lower quality of computer. When the magazine increase in popularity and becoming successful. They will be earning more money, they will be able to earn more money so that company will be ale to buy better equipment and computer such as apple macs.

This apple macs will be used in the future

In addition, the company will have to buy different equipment's and install different software such as Photoshop to the company and the office. This is important as if they install different software, the enable the employees to their jobs such as word for writing up the draft interview or Photoshop to create he magazine. Therefore, all of the staff are able to do their job the best as their ability because of all of the equipment that is available to them.

Final Planned Format and Style of Front CoverMasthead

The masthead is across the magazine page at the top of the magazine page. This is important because this will make the magazine eye-catching and therefore standout from the shelf in a shop. In addition, this will gain ‘star appeal’ ( Richard Dyer), as the people will know and recognized the magazine. The masthead is gold with a black outline which is easy for the target audience to read and as they be interesting about the content of the magazine.

Main StoryThat main story is placed off the right main image. This is important because this will be the audience will know that this magazine will be mostly about the artist/bands. This will be in bold so the audience will be attracted to the magazine, if they are fans of the artist/band.Moreover, this is under the strapline if the magazine because you will know that the main story is important because it is exclusive, just like my magazine. This will gain star appeal (Richard Dyer) as people will know ho will be featured in the magazine and therefore buy the magazine because of the artist and band. They will be interested by what they have to say about their personal life and their music career as well.

Puff PromotionThe puff promotion is place on the right hand side on the top. This is important because this will appeal to the puff promotion as it feel like that they are gaining something them the magazine and therefore buy the magazine for the free gift. The puff promotion will be in a shape such as a circle because it will be eyes catching and the target audience will know where to look for their free gift or they will know how to enter in a competition.

BarcodeI have decided to place the barcode on the right hand side at the bottom because like in some of the issue of my magazines of inspiration of Q magazine. However, the barcode is above the headline quote. The barcode of my magazine will tell you how the magazine cost and the date of the magazine were released.

Headline QuoteThe headline quote is on the left of the main image above the main headline because this will be eye catching because it will be in bold. This could also create feeling in the audience by the headline quote because by the quote, you can sense if the interview is going to be humorous or sad. Therefore the target audience are able to judge the interview and the magazine before buying the magazine.

Main HeadlineThe main headline is at the left hand side of the page. It is at the bottom of the page but under the headline quote. This is important as this will gain the ‘star appeal’ ( Richard Byer) as people will recognized the artists at the front and therefore there is more chance that they will read the magazine because they will be interested of what they have to say. In addition, if they know that their favourite artist will be included in this issue .

StraplineI have decided to place the strapline under the masthead on the right. As, I have decided my strapline to be “Hear Our Voice”. This is important because the strapline will be near masthead. This is important because this will be brand identity, as the strapline could be catchy and well known.

Final Planned Format and Style of Front Cover

House ColourI have decided my my main house colour to be gold as on my masthead it is gold, to express celebration and a special occasion, as buying my magazine, should be a celebration when buying my music magazine. In addition, another colour would be red for my magazine, as it is bright and bold, so this will appeal to the reader. Another two colours which will be mentioned throughout my magazine, is black and white as the colour will be use for the back of the magazine or the font of the magazine. The house colour will feature outthought my magazine, as these colour is the reason why my music magazine is unique and special for the music magazine industry.

Cover linesI have decided to to put the cover lines to be one the left side of the music magazine. This will be below the masthead so this will tell the audience what will be included in the music magazine. This will make the magazine more important, they can see how many artists/bands they can be included in the magazine. The target audience will gain star appeal (Richard Dyer) as this will tell the target audience what the magazine will include in this issue, which will appeal to them. This action could increase in sale and therefore becoming more popular and also having a better reputation within the UK or world wide.

House StyleDuring the interview, the font will be in the same size and also have the same font. Moreover, the main story will be different to create a sense of importance for the reader. In addition, by keeping within these guideline this will create a good reputation of a high quality. Therefore, this will increase the sales and create a higher profit for the music magazine business.

Final Planned Format and Style of Double Page Spread

Stand FirstThe stand first will be featured above the interview because this will be eye catching for the audience, so they will know what the interview will be about. The first stand is important as this will introduce the interview and will mention basic facts such as name and age. This is important because the target audience are able to start to build a relationship with the artist and also a mutual understanding for them. The first stand would be above the interview.

Main ImageThe main image of the article is covered nearly both the page. The image is large and therefore is could be eye catching for the audience, as they can see their favourite artist on the double spread page. The picture could create ‘star appeal’(Richard Dyer) for the audience, so you can get an exclusive image of the person. Moreover, this could convey the person's personality, as they can be seen in a more down to earth.

Pull QuoteI have decide to place the Pull Quote on the main picture, or this will create the first impression of the interview and also you can tell what tone the interview will be about. The Pull Quote will be large and bold, so this will be eye catching for the audience and encourage them to read the interview.

InterviewThe interview is the main part of the double page spread of the magazine. This is important because they can read, which the artist/band really think of their music. Moreover, in the interview you can read some of their stories . The interview can create what the of the double page spread of the magazine, which can create an emotion in the reader, as is the tone of the interview is sad, the reader may feel the sadness of the interview. However, if the interview is funny, then the reader may laugh with or at them and also they will feel happy as well. The interview within the magazine is able to appeal to the target audience because they can understand the artist more as a person and also see what they have to say about their music career so far. The interview will be in four separate column at the bottom of the page.

Final Planned Format and Style of Double Page Spread Caption about other artists/bands

Like my magazine of inspiration, Q magazine, this will included other artist/band and to see when their album release or when their next concerts start. In addition, this is added ‘star appeal’ ( Richard Dyer) because they are featuring well known and loved artists and also feature a interview within the magazine. This will allow the target audience to get excited when reading the magazine as they will know what to expect to find.

Brand IdentityThe brand identity is very important, as this will be included in all of my pages of the magazine. Moreover, this will include the masthead, the page number and also the issue date. Another, brand identity technique that I have done for the magazine is that have use the my masthead and place it across magazine background. This is important because this will have a good effect on of my magazine . This could suggest that all of the information and the images which are on the double page spread are exclusive to my magazine. Therefore, no one can use the information and the image that my magazine had discovered, designed and created.

Information about the artist box.This reason why I have choice to have the information about the artist box is because the audience well know fun facts about them, so they can create a bond with the artist and also create their own option about the artist, so they will know whether they like them or not. Moreover, the information about the artist drop caption could be use to advertise themselves like if they have a up and coming concerts or if they have a albums, which is going to be release. In addition within the caption there are detail about the reason behind her album and the success of their single. This box is next to the main image and the caption about other artists/bands. Moreover, this box is also above the interview section.

Article Title and the Sub Title The article title and the sub title is used on the to introduce the the double page spread. The article title is used to appeal the target audience to read the rest of the interview as it will state, which artists will be included in the double page spread. In addition, this will gain ‘star appeal’ (Richard Dyer) as as more more will want to read what their favourite artist or bands have to say about their personal life, their inspiration and their successful music career. However, the sub title will state a facts about their music career such as in EXCLSUIVE the magazine’s sub title was “Just Released Forth Album”.

For the double page spread in my music magazine I will write an interview with the artist, Paloma Faith who will be featured on my double page spread as she features as the main story and will also feature a headline quote from the interview, so this will attract the audience to read my music magazine because she is a famous singer and therefore, the ‘star appeal’ will form, as her fans will buy the music magazine because she will be featured in the music magazine.I have chosen to interview Paloma Faith because she is well known because of her many hits like “Only Love can hurt like This”, “Upside Down” or “New York”. Moreover, I have chosen Paloma Faith because the genre of her songs are soul, jazz and pop, this means she specialises in eclectic music, just like my music magazine. In addition, Paloma Faith has a successful career in the music industry and her song “Changing” is number 1 on the UK singles. Furthermore, she has won and been nominated for numerous different award ceremonies like the Brit Awards, Glamour Awards and the O2 Silver Clef Awards for her music. During the interview I will ask her questions about her music career and what artists inspire her for her music and what inspires her to sing. I will ask about her more about her music.

The interview will be a layout of on the double page spread. There will be different questions and different answers for the interview. I have used format because it is like many of the different double page spread in Q magazine. So the audience can understand the format of the interview in the music magazine.

This is my page of inspiration for the Q magazine for the October 2015 issue on page 15. As they use different colours for the font, this will make the writing bolder and easier to read.

Draft Article - InterviewInterviewer: Hello Paloma. It’s good to meet with you – how are you?PALOMA: Good to be finally meeting with you, very excited to be here. I’ve been good, thanks.Interviewer: Congratulation, for winning your first Brits award for British Female Solo Artist this year.PALOMA: thank you, I was very happy that I finally won a Brits award, after all have been nominated three times and never won a Brits award before. So, this was very special for me when I won my first Brits award.Interview: Does fame affect the your day to day life?PALOMA: No, because I have made a conscious effect to stay with friends, have always had, do the same things and go to the same places. This is because my friends can’t afford to go to posh or fancy places with me, so I go with them to do cheap and cheerful things (laugh). So I am so relaxed with my friends, so I’m always forgetting that I am in the public eye. So, when people ask for a photo with me, I still find it really weird.Interview: Who is your biggest inspiration?PALOMA: Well… I would say Etta James. She is a singer between the 50s and 60s. I tell people that she was like a teacher because I never had any singing lesson as I would copy the style of her vocal. I have been having singing lesson now because I need to know the techniques to save my voice. Another artist is Billie Holiday and all of the old singers.Interview: So, you are known for your retro and eccentric style well as voice. So would you explain what you are wearing.PALOMA: Well, I am wearing everything from the high-street. So the top and the trousers are from H&M. as these shoes are from New Look. As, the beret is from eBay, they come in lots of colours. When I was an opening act for prince, he did say to me that I was one of the best dressed people in the music industry at the moment. So that was quite nice.Interview: So I heard that you done a bit of acting during your career as a singer, What have you been in and have you audition to do anything else?PALOMA: Well, my I appeared in one episode of Holby Blue , which is on the BBC. I played a thief. (Laugh) also I was in St Trinian in 2007 as Andrea who was the Emo. I’ve been in others acting things in was like I was cast in Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctors Parnassus. I did audition for Kickass 2 but I have never got a call back.Interview: Talking about your television appearances, I heard you are replacing Rita Ora on the VoicePALOMA: Yes, I am going to be a coach in the 5th series on the voice. I am very excited about this, as I would be finding new fresh talents in the UK. This will be a new experience, as its not about acting or singing, but it’s more about being yourself. So I hope you be watching.Interview: Don’t worry, I will watch it. I heard a rumour that you have started making your fourth album, as you announce it at Glastonbury Festival. Can you give anything away.PALOMA: That is true, I am in the process of making the albums. I’m not going to say anything yet. The song Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix did inspire for my fourth album. It’s going to be a surprise. That’s all I'm going to say.Interview: Can you tell me more about your upbringing and how you started singing.PALOMA: Well, I have an English mum and Spanish dad, they divorced when I was four years old, so I was raised by my mum. My mum wanted me to be a dancer, so I would go to dance lesson every week. I did my A-levels at City and Islington College and then I studied for a degree at Northern School of Contemporary dance for contemporary dance. Then, I was lucky enough to get into Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design do, I can study for an MA in Theatre Directing. I knew this was a good opportunity, so I took a lot of part time job like Sales assistant at Agent Provocateur, singer in a burlesque cabaret, a life model and a magician’s assistant. So I can pay for my education. Interview: Wow, you have do lots of different part time job. This interview is sadly coming toward the end, what are you hoping to do in the future?PALOMA: I want to continue making music, have a career and have a family one day. I also want to travel with my work because I have done lots in the UK and I have happy with the support I have received. But, I'm not well known around the world, that is my next aim.

I have created a draft interview, which featured the famous pop, jazz and soul signer Paloma Faith. I have created these questions because of my music magazine, Q magazine. This is because I have created a style of magazine, which is about herself, her music and her fashion so she will feel comfortable with the questions.

I know that I couldn’t get a real interview with Paloma Faith, for my question so I received my information about Paloma Faith from previous interviews she as done from IBM.TV. I Also, got my information from different website.

Link to the IBM.TV. interview, where I have receive most of my interview about Paloma Faith.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_fl8rUsFCE

Magazine Flat Plan

This is the flat plan for my first music magazine. The red number represent which page will be mention in the music magazine.I have made 60 page because the frequency of the magazine is monthly and therefore need more pages than a weekly or fortnightly magazine.

This is where my double page spread will be display on my magazine

Magazine Masthead/Logo

Font Names Test

God Of War

Granada

Quartzo

Manbow

For my music magazine, the masthead/logo will be bold and eye-catching. Therefore, when my music magazine is on the shelves in the shops, my music magazine must be easy to read.My masthead/logo is not similar to my magazine of inspiration Q magazine, as my masthead is one word and across the front cover, when my magazine of inspiration is at the left top corner of the magazine in a red box with one letter in the box. However, my music magazine is more similar to Mojo as the masthead is across the music magazine. However, the font of my masthead is gold, whilst the Mojo masthead change between the colour of black and white.For my logo I have chosen the font ‘manbow’ from the website “dafront” , which is very easy to read and eye catching. I have chosen this font for the music magazine because it has a 1950s styles to the font. I have done four different tests on “dafront” so I could decide, which font I should use for my masthead/logo for my music magazine. This is what my font will look like in my music magazine.

House Style ConsistencyBy looking at different font and colour for my music magazine, now I am able to create my front page and also the double page spread, which has the same colour theme through my music magazine.The masthead of my music magazine, “Exclusive” will be mentioned on all of of pages of my music magazine. As, the masthead will be at the bottom of the page next to the page number of the magazine.

When I develop my masthead on photoshop, I will create the main logo. I chose to make my colour of the font gold, because it will make it appealing to my audience , as it is not like the other music magazine, as the masthead is bold and eye catching as well as simple.

The reason why I have picked two different fonts for the puff promotion is because I want my puff promotion to be bold, easy to read and striking to the audience. It is important to choose the best font for the puff promotion because the puff promotion will have exclusive competition or deals in the magazines.

During the process of choosing the fonts and colours for my music magazine, I chose these specific fonts and colours because I want my magazine to look like a serious music magazine. My magazine will look professional and also fun and will be aimed at my target audience, which is between 15-30 years old.I have chosen several fonts from “dafont”, which will be included in my music magazine. All of my fonts are easy to read, as all of the font sizes will be different, so they can serve this purpose for the music magazine. Some of the font is used for different techniques for the music magazine. The “coolvetica” fonts will be used for headlines and the main articles title for the music magazine. It is important to have the same font in the magazine because if you have different fonts on the magazine, this could look cheap and unprofessional. Another font that serves more than one purpose is “chapaza”, which is used for cover lines ,web address, drop capital and the stand first. As this will be easy to read, also this font is simple and bold, which makes this font eye catching.The primary colour of my music magazine is red and gold. The masthead, Exclusive will be in gold as the lettering will be in red. The brand identity, will be at the bottom of every page, there will be a page number in red. However, the masthead of the music will be at the bottom in gold. This is similar to my magazine of inspiration, Q magazine, as they also mention the page number and the masthead on each page of my music magazine.

Front Cover PlansStraplineWhen creating a strapline for my magazine, I have decided to look at Q magazine’s strapline as it will help to know what a strapline should sound like. This is important as I want to have a strapline that is different to Q magazine because Q is one of my magazine biggest rival and therefore I would need a strapline that will make my magazine shine and also set it part from Q. This is important as Q magazine most latest strapline are “The World’s Greatest Magazine” , so I know that I couldn’t use these words as it will be the first issue and therefore it haven’t made any impact into the music magazines. This is why have brainstormed the different strapline ideas, which will best represent my magazine and what my magazine will stand for. At the end I have decide for my magazine strapline to be “Hear Our Voice” because it is a new magazine and it is making a stand from the rest of the music magazine that are available within the UK.

“The World’s Greatest Magazine” – Q Magazine June 2016 issue

“Hear Our Voice” – EXCLUSIVE June 2016 issue

ImagesQ magazine always produce high standard and quality of images that will attract the readers attention and interest. Therefore, I would like to copy their style and use it for my magazine as it could gain ‘star appeal’ (Richard Dyer) for my magazine. This is why it is important to check the lighting, the angle and the expression of the model when taken the photography for my magazine as it build the reputation of my magazine against other music magazine.

Main Headline For the front cover and the double page spread I want to make sure that I have created ‘star appeal’ (Richard Dyer) within the magazine so that it will encourage my reader to buy and read my magazine. So by adding a famous name (Nicole Angus) in big and bold font, this will spark the interest of the readers as they will want to know what the artist have to say within the interview.

I have chose the front that will be used for my masthead. This front is called manbow and it is from dafont.com

Production Changes – Front CoverFront Cover CorrectionWhen I was created the first draft of front cover, I have gain feedback so I will be able to make changes to the front cover to make it better. Therefore it will make it look more professional so that it will look like it is made from a high quality. On this page I will be comparing my first draft of front cover to my final front cover. This is important as the final correction will reveal all of the correction that I have made. Some of the changes that for the final front cover are the background, the eye colour, puff promotion and coverline. So when I have received feedback from my first Front Cover, I had to change the cover to make it more suited to publisher and therefore this could improve the sale figure of my magazine as it will look more professional.

I have changed the colour background from white to grey to black and change it to light grey and the dark grey. This is important because I have change the background because to relate to my magazine of inspiration (Q magazine). Also, this could make my magazine to seem like it have a rock theme and people could get the wrong idea of what music information will contain of. This is why the background of the magazine have a naturel as my magazine will contain if all music genre. I have also change the coverline information and the different colours of the coverline. This is important because my magazine will feature the range of colours and not all ways features the colour schemes in the magazine. Also also made the left side of my magazine to have all of the main story and on the right side there are just mention one main story about rating new albums. Also I have use different colours on my coverline line such as an olive green because it will appeal to more people as it will not be just red and gold, which could make it look unprofessional. For the main headline and the main quote are connected together. I have created the main headline to white. Firstly, I have made the name “NICOLE” and then made the name “ANGUS” normally. I also made the main quote on top of the “ANGUS” and then change it from an olive colour. In addition, I have moved the puff promotion, from the bottom left side and move it from the top right side under the strapline so that it will be more like my magazine of inspiration (Q magazine). I also change the prize of the puff promotion from winning an apple product to win free iTune because this prize will relate to music more and therefore help the my magazine with further sales because as the prizes from the magazine can get bigger and better..Moreover, the website link has moved next to the puff promotion and I have place the website link under the masthead.

Production Changes – Front CoverMastheadThe masthead is the most important part of the magazine as it is the name of the magazine. The masthead will be reoccurring on every issue of the magazine and therefore the masthead must be noticeable in order to attract people to buy and read the magazine. In addition, the masthead of the magazine will match the house style of the magazine because it will stay consist to the magazine. To the masthead I have downloaded the front from the internet and on to Photoshop so that I am able to get the front that will be suitable for my magazine. Also I have added some affect to the masthead such as stroke on the letters and also the gradient to the masthead so that colour is change from dark to light.

Puff PromotionThe puff promotion that I have created changes twice to in order to change the best version that will appeal to people. This is important as this puff promotion is bold and eye- catching, which is important as people will notice the puff promotion at shop, which will encourage more people to buy the magazine. The puff promotion will match the house style and therefore stay consistent to the theme.

Main StoryThe main story will add ‘star appeal’ to the magazine as more people will the main depend on, which famous person/people will be included in the magazine. This is important as the main story will help to notify the reader who will be included in this issue of the magazine.

BarcodeThe barcode was inspired by Q magazine and the layout that have created for their barcode. I have included social house symbols such as Facebook and Instagram so that my readers will know that will are able to receive additional information about mu magazine. In addition, I have included the publisher logo on the barcode as the reader will know what publication house the magazine will belong in. Moreover, the barcode will also include the issue number and also the price of the magazine.

CoverlineI have changed the coverline in order it will look professional and therefore stand out because of its simple style. This is important because I have changed the colour of the some of the wording from the coverline in order to make it stand out and therefore make it a better way to add ‘star appeal’ as they will know who will be mention in the magazine. The first version of the coverline was all red and gold, which mention the house colour. However there was too much red and gold, which could get confusing and also too repeatable for the magazine. Therefore, it did look unprofessional for the reader.

Main ImageThis was the original image that I have chose as the image, this image was in both of the version of the front cover. However, I did make her skin flawless as by sorting out the tired eyes, as there dark area around their eyes. This is why I used the cloning stamp and smudge tool .

Main HeadlineOriginal , there was no main headline in my first draft of the front cover. Afterward, I have decided to make the main headline of ‘Nicole Angus’ so that it will ‘star appeal’ so that more people will want to read of the magazine because f the person or people who will be featured in the magazine.

Double Page Spread CorrectionI will be comparing the before and after version of my double page spread. I have gained the feedback from the publisher gave me. This will reveal what changes I have made because of the correction that I have been given. The correction that I have received was to help me to made my magazine better and therefore make the magazine look professional and made from a high quality. For the facts about the new album box, it was suggest that I should add a black drop shadow around the red box so it will stand out on the page. Also it was suggest that I should add bullet point instead of have sentences and I should also change the font of the text as well.In addition, the new album box had an effect of the black shadow because the red box will stand out and therefore the target audience will be able and notice the fun facts about the album about the artists will released. Also improvement on the double page spread is the I have to neatened up the the bottom section of the page. As the masthead, the page number, the social symbols and also the web address are too close together. This is is why I have moved the web address on the left side and I have made the social media symbol the same size. In addition, I have made the decrease the black stroke on the masthead. This is important because you would be able to see the detail of the masthead on the page. Also decrease the black stroke on the page number because the masthead and the page number will have the same black stroke and it is also easier to read. However on the final draft I have decided to change the bottom section of the pages by getting rid of the social symbols and replace it with the issue number. This is important as this is more like my magazine of inspiration Q magazine. This is important I have more it look neater and more professional as it doesn’t look messy as it did before. This will mean that it look simple and bold on the page and also doesn’t take away from any ‘star appeal’ from the interview.

You can also see that I have place my masthead across the black pattern background, so that this will be a type of brand awareness, as this will add more detail to the magazine and also this will make my double page spread to look fun and creative because of this decision. In addition, I have moved the EXCLUSIVE website from line under the social media symbols and moved it under the interview. On the final draft of my magazine, I used the ruler tool more often so that I will be able to line up different text boxes through out my magazine. Example of when I have used the ruler tool to make my page layout accurate is when I have lined up ‘MUST HEAR SOUNDS OF 2015’ to the images of different artist that is in a gold box. In addition, I have used the ruler tool to to line up the facts about the artists to the artists pictures which are features in the gold box. Also, I have decided to put the artists' names in bold. This is important as this will add ‘star appeal’ to the piece of text as they can quickly find the artists’ name. In addition, I have proof read my work so that I will be able to find any spelling, grammar and punctuation mistake that I have made when typing the the double page spread. Example of when I have spelt a word wrong is when I have spelt release like ‘reasled’.

The gold information box will advertise different interview from different artist that will appeal people to read their interview. However the red box is about the detail of the album that the magazine have created. One of the changes that I have made to the red box is that to add bullet point of the information inside the box.

Risk assessmentImage Risk Assessment Permission of using the imageI have to make sure that I have gave my artist/model a form to fill out. This form is important because the artists/model will have giving our their full permission of taking their image and use it for the front cover and the double page spread. The artist will also give their permission to use the image online as well. The artist will be aware what clothes she will be wearing, what makeup will be used and also the location of the photograph shoot. The reason why they form have to be fill in before any action can be taken for the photo shot because this will be proof that the artist gave the magazine full permission to use the image of themselves and therefore they don’t have to cause any legal difficulties for the magazine, if they was any problem which the artist have with the image that was used. Areas of AssessmentWhen looking for a location for the photo shot for my magazine, their are serval specific check that need to be looked at before they can go the photo shoot for the magazine. Firstly, the risk assessment of the phot shoot is that they have to check if the artists and the photographer are safe to take the image. Also they will have to check for any potential hazards that could cause help to the artist and the crew for the photo shot. They will have to check the uneven ground, running water, the weather condition, if their any wires on the floor or if their any shape pieces on edges in the room.

Screen Shot of the email that I have sent to the model for my magazine.

Post-Production Skills - SoftwareWhen I was designing and creating my front cover and double page spread I only used one software called Adobe Photoshop CS5.The software Adobe Photoshop CS5 was for editing a editing the images and also to create the both of the magazine front cover and double page spread in order to make my magazine to look professional and therefore made from a high quality. In addition there are features in the Photoshop such as the rule tool to determine the magazine accurate such as ensure all of the social media and publisher symbol to be the same size. In addition, I can use the some tools such as the healing tool in order to correct the skin tool and therefore it will improve the artist’s appearance. Therefore it will make the artist’s skin to be flawless.In addition, I will use the pen tool to increase the accurate and the column of the double page spread when wrapping the interview around the drop caption so that the interview will look professional interview from a real artist. In addition, the pen tool will enable to create a straight so that it will look sharp and therefore the interview box will look straight and contain no curved lines.

Production Skills Tools There was tools and techniques that would help me to created a professional and high quality final front cover and double page spread for my magazine. This will help me to add little effects to the images, which will make the overall improvement to my page.Front CoverRuler ToolThe ruler tool was one of the most important tool to the front cover and also the double page spread. This is important as this will help me to to make the more accurate when keeping to make images or the lettering of titles the same size. The ruler tool will guide me to pin point the correct size for shapes such as the barcode shape. This is important because to gain the ruler tool and use the ruler tool, press ‘Ctrl- R’ so that the ruler tool can be used. However, by pressing ‘Ctrl-H’ this will enable the the ruler tool blue lines to appear and disappear so that we are able to get a clear image of the magazine.

Quick Selection ToolThe quick selection tool was an important tool whilst editing the main image for the front cover and also the double page spread. This is important as this tool will help me to get rid off the background of the main images. This is important as the quick selection tool will help me to not lose any important features of the artist such as a large bit of hair or her skin. Therefore, the quick selection tool with help me to mask the background so that I am gable to create a new background that will be best suited for my magazine front cover and also double page spread.

Cloning stamp and Smudge toolThe cloning stamp and smudge tool was two of the important tools when I was trying to make my model’s skin flawless. This is important as the model in the front cover of my magazine has tired eyes, which caused around her eyes to be dark. Therefore it will have a negative affect of the overall outcome of the main image and also the overall ‘star appeal’ of will be bad. This is important as I cloned a bit of her check with cloning stamp. Then with the smudge tool, I smudged the cloning stamp skin check round it so that it will blended so that it will look like she have no dark tired mark.

Production Skills Tools Pen ToolThis tool was an important when creating columns for the interview on the double page spread. This is important as it will help me to create a straight so that it will look sharp on the page. This is important because with the drop caption I am able to wrap the interview around it which will make it will look professional. This is important as the pen tool will help to organised the text box on the page. Therefore the interview box will look straight and contain no curved lines. The pen tool can be located on the left sidebar.

Double Page Spread

Rectangle ToolThe rectangle tool was a useful shape tool because this will enable me to make two rectangles so that I will be able to create two information box so the audience will be able to read extra facts about the artist and it will advertise other artists’ interviews with images of the artists next to the advertisement. This is important as the readers are able to gain more knowledge about the artists’ new album. This will meet the needs of the Maslow theory of be ‘explorers’ as they like to know different music information and also explore different genre of music as well.

Opacity ToolThe opacity tool is a good effect tool that I have used for both for my front cover and double page spread. This is important because when I've click on a layer, it will give m the option if I want the layer to be faded or not. The opacity tool is on the bar above the layers. This is important as on the double page spread I have faded the masthead on it so that it was add brand awareness to the page and therefore appeal to more people. I addition, on the front cover , I used the opacity tool in order to change the colour of the artists’ eye from brown to green. This will make her eyes to standout more because of the green eyes.

Safe Working PracticesSoftware risk assessmentWhen I am resizing an image I have to make sure that I’ve resize the image to a high quality and to a professional level. By using the ‘Ctrl’, ‘shift’ and ‘t’ on the key, they will enable the image to be resized without and damage to the pixelate on Adobe Photoshop. This is important because the image will keep their high quality pixels within the image and that it would change the quality of the image. So that the image on my magazine will be on a professional level. I use a pen tool on my double page spread, so that the interview won’t overlap the main image or I am able to put my drop capital letter in the interview so that it can be a part of the interview.

This is important as I will have access to the colour panel anytime and therefore all of the colours will be the same as each other because of the swatches tool and therefore the colour won’t have different shades of one colour when it is not meant to be. Therefore this tool will help to improve the outcome of magazine, which will help to make it look more professional.
