Target Audience
Price
£2.70
I chose this price because its cheap
enough for students to buy it and also its
monthly.
The colour scheme would be red, black and grey because its like my magazine of
inspiration which is Q. The colour red connotes energy and fire therefore it highlights my
magazine is going to be full of new music information and will always keep you up to date.
Furthermore, it is eye catching and stands out which is good for when it is distributed into
shops. I chose black because it is bold and easy for the audience to read.
1. Get to know the world
2. A lot can happen in a month
3. Expand your mind, explore the
world.
4. Live the interesting life.
5. No other gossip will do.
My target audience would
be teenagers aged 13-18.
I'm choosing this age
group because then relate
to everything and so can
they. It is directed towards
boys and girls because
then they aren’t restricted
to reading and listening to
the songs.
I’d ensure there is synergy with
my magazine through:
•Internet
•Adverts
MIND MAP - JKZ
On the front cover it will share
information about interviews and what
pages they are on to read about it. Also
it will be the top 10 songs of the week;
and to say whether they are ready to
buy on iTunes yet.
It will be released every month
therefore there will be more pages
than a weekly magazine so there will
be more information. So there will be
more gossip for everyone to be
interested by. My magazine will
compete with other monthly
magazines such as Q and will have a
similar release pattern.
Mood board
The house and style of my magazine will be modern and the colours will be mainly red and black. Also the backgrounds will be light grey on all the pages.
I choose these colours because
they all go together and suit the
age range of my magazine and
genre of it.
I will be keeping my masthead throughout my
Magazine as well as my house colours, this keeps it consistent so people will notice it more.
Connotations behind these colors:
Blue: Blue symbolizes, confidence intelligence as well as this the color blue is considered beneficial to the mind and body.
Black: Black symbolizes power which links to my magazine being powerful, when competing against other magazines. It also shows elegance, as it is seen as a classy color.
Red: Red symbolizes leadership within something, it also can show power, and strength which links to my magazine’s strengths.
House Style of the Magazine
• I have placed these images on my mood board because
the readers will ‘Personally identify’ (Katz) with the range
of artists/acts in the magazine because they are older and
would be ideal for the older generation who listen to them.
• The genre for Arctic monkeys is indie rock, therefore I
have chosen to put this in my mood board because I have
a range of genres, like R&B, Rock and Bass.
• I chose these colours (red, white and black) because it’s
the same as my magazine of inspiration.
• I have put the vans logo on my mood board because the
celebrities on there wear vans and fans might want to be
like them.

• I chose Fetty Wapp because all the teenage girls/boys
listen to him and he is in the age category, target
audience and genre of my magazine.
• Fetty Wapp is the star producers appeal (Richard Dyer)
because he’s always on Capital and Kiss FM which
teenagers listen to mostly everyday, so they know who he
is.
• I also chose Fetty because he’s an easy person to
interview and he’s laid back person to talk to, and also is
down with all the trends so my target audience would
relate to him a lot.
Draft interview
• Fetty takes time out from making his third album to speak to JKZ about life inside and outside of the music world.
• Glad I’m finally getting to interview you - you’re hard to track down these days! What have you been upto then?
• (Laughs) Yeah I’ve been really busy Jess, this week in particular has been so busy man considering I’m in the process of putting together my third album, which is gonna’ be dope! Watch out, and listen out!
• We’re so excited to hear your new album! Any ideas on a name yet?
• I can’t actually tell you that right now, it is a secret (Laughs). But trust me it will be big as after the third album I’m going to take some time out of writing music and have some chill time.
• You can tease us like that Fetty. So outside of work considering you are going to be taking some time out, what kind of music do you listen to? Do you listen to your own music?
• (Sarcastic/laughing) Bit of classical actually. I joke, I joke. I love my music and I do love listening to it but obviously I listen to it everyday so it can get a bit repetitive. At the moment I’m such a Bieber fan. Did you watch him at the Brits? He was off the chain. Oh and Rihanna and Drake with their song “Work”, it was sick! That type of music is more up my street!
Draft interview to Fetty Wapp
Yeah we watched the Brits here at JKZ and you are right Bieber, Drake and
Rihanna was excellent. So what’s your life style out of work? What are
your hobbies?
I do love a good party with my homies usually at the weekend though as I’m
busy writing my music on the weekdays. I don’t really have any hobbies to be
honest, my life is all about music but I’m always attending music festivals and
gigs in London. I went and saw ‘Rocky N.T.I’ at a gig a couple of days ago
actually.
What are your favourite festivals to go to then Fetty?
I go to loads, mainly in the summer – if I’m not playing at them.
I went to ‘We Are Fest’ last summer in July it was dope y’all, definitely my
favourite summer festival. I’m going to be playing at ‘V Fest’ this year, which I’m
also super excited about!
We are so excited to see you at V Fest here at JKZ. How old were you
when you knew you wanted to produce music?
Draft interview to Fetty Wapp continued
Draft interview to Fetty Wapp continued
I was 15 when I knew I wanted to be in the music business. My dad was into music and would
always play it around me, so that helped me get into music and know about it more and know
about the instruments. I started rapping at school with a group of friends as a joke and then they
all told me I was good and should take it further.
What advice would you give to your fans if they wanted to become like you?
Be yourself and keep producing and never give up. The industry is really tough to get into so you
have to make your way up and make sacrifices to get there man.
Has it been a rough road for you then?
Yea it has been a rough road. My parent’s spilt up when I was 12. I mostly lived with my dad
when it happened because my mum was in and out of hospital because she had depression, and
because of that I focused more on music as it made me feel better about the situation.
Sorry to hear that Fetty, although its good to see your life back on track!
Thank you for taking the time to speak to us about your life outside the music industry
hopefully you’ll come back and speak to us soon.

Photos (explained)
• I choose these photos to use because Will is looking
straight at the camera which would catch the readers eye
and get them more engaged in the magazine. Also it looks
like he is looking at the reader.
• These are the magazines I’ve compared my images too
because they are both from Q which is my magazine of
inspiration.
Prop List
Clothes
• Cream bomber jacket
• Nike airmax 90s
• New York top men's
Technical equipment
• Canon DSLR camera
• Lens cap
• Camera bag
• Battery
• SD card
• Circular Light Reflector
Prop Sourcing
Before taking the images for the front cover and the
double page spread I needed to make sure that I had
the equipment available.
The equipment I used was from photography for
example camera, Lens cap, Camera bag, Battery and
the SD card.
The clothing Will will wear is customised himself so
that helps me from buying clothes for the pictures I
took. The dress code was smart/casual.
Images location I used the light in photography to give a clear image of will. It
helped me make his clothes stand out more.
Name of the equipment –
• The camera I used was called CANON EOS 1200D DSLR
Camera with 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 Zoom Lens & 75-300
mm f/4-5.6 Telephoto Zoom Lens.
• The lighting I used was the studio flash lighting, JINBEL –
2x delicacy 200w- soft box strobe
WHY did you choose to use this equipment? – I chose
this equipment because it’s professional and the
pictures came out clearer than the ones I took in the
hallway.
WHY this location and for what particular images?
- I took the images in the photography room because
the images I took outside media were dark and
couldn't’t see them as well.
• Distracting a class while I was taking photos in the school hall way.
• Having flash on while taking the photos could of hurt Wills eye sight.
• Tripping over the light cable in the photography studio and someone hurting themselves.
• When setting up the studio lights please take care that all tripod stands have the single leg aligned with the light fitting and the other 2 legs at the back, this prevents the stands tipping.
• Having enough room for Will to move around in a safe manner around the studio knowing that all light stands are positioned in a safe place.

JKZ FINAL IDEA
I have put the strapline next to the front heading because it will be the second thing people see and then want them to read it even more. The
main image is put in the middle so people will know what the magazine holds inside. Barcode is there to show when the magazine comes out
and how much it is. The main image is in the middle because in my magazine of inspiration the main image is in the middle of the page.
Strapline – My strapline is “….” I put the
strapline here so then the reader will see
it once they see my logo. This is relevant
because when they read my strapline
they will associate with the brand of my
magazine. Cover lines – As the main story is at the
bottom I have decided to put the cover
lines above it to make them stand out to
the reader. Cover lines are stories which
are In the magazine.
House style – My house style
colours are red, white and black.
I choose these colours because
they all go together and suit the
age range of my magazine and
genre of it.
Barcode – On my barcode I will have the issue date and price inside the barcode. The issue will be number 1 because it will be a
brand new magazine. I will place the barcode above the main story just like in my magazine of inspiration Q
Puff promotion – Puff promotion
allows the audience to win
something. In my magazine thy are
able to win iTunes festival tickets.
Having a puff promotion is god
because the audience are more
like to buy the magazine if they
want to win something.
Masthead – the masthead is the title of
the magazine which is JKZ. My
magazine will be called JKZ because
as the meaning of it is supposed to be
‘jokes’ it could illustrate the genre is
entertaining and will be full of juicy
gossip about the music industry and the
audience will not get bored of the music
and the information inside. The
background will be red and the writing
will be white.
‘Interview heading’ has been placed there to reveal what kind of page it is. The image is in the middle to show who they are
interviewing instead of reading it and finding out you didn’t want to know about it. Also has loads of bits of information doted around
the page and not bundled together, it is spaced out. I have put a large image in the middle to show who the reader is about straight
away. The information is scattered around the page but also in columns to still make it neat and tidy on the page.
JKZ FINAL IDEA - DPS
Pull quote from interview - I
have put the pull quote on my
page because it fills up empty
space on the page and also
when the reader sees it they
will want to read on and find
out what happens.
Main image – I put the main
image in the middle to make it
stand out also to show the
readers who's the main artist is.
Main story title –
compared to my other
ideas for the main title, I
wanted to make it
diagonal to make it
unique to the reader.
Stand first – The stand first is very important because it’s the first thing
people see as the topic. The text is also eye-catching for the reader so
they will see it first.

Headline
• In LO1 I have been researching more about what I will be putting into my magazine and deciding who will be in it and also how it will look on the front cover, where I will put the logo and headings and cover lines.
• Also I looked into the mind map and what ideas I can put on my magazine e.g. cover head, puff promotion, what I will call my magazine and the barcode etc.
• I also looked into a mood board for ideas of whom I would put in my magazine.
• Overall it was easier to design everything this way to help me know and find out what I wanted my magazine to be like and what style of magazine I wanted.
• The conclusion for all this is the analyzing of the magazines and then being able to make your own front cover by drawing drafts of it so you can change what you’ve done wrong to improve.

Test photography – Front cover & DPS
These are all the Test pictures I took of Izzy and Will. Also all the different ones with Izzy’s facial expression,
her clothes are up to date in fashion it could also inspire people to dress like her.
Once I tested Izzy I decided I wanted to use Wills pictures because they related to my interview which was on
Fetty Wapp which is a male and would fit the stereotype of the genre.
Risk assessment- photos
Before taking my pictures of Will I had to ask him if he was
happy with it and also I checked the location to see if there
was any sharp edges if he hurt himself. This screen shot
shows me asking Will if its okay for me to take pictures of
him.
Risk Assessment
• Making sure the area is safe to be taking pictures.
• Remove any wires so people wont trip over them and hurt themselves.
• Making sure the flash off before.
Hazards in the workplace
• Tripping over wire from laptops/computers
• Spilling water over the laptops/computers
• poor or inadequate lighting
• ergonomic hazards
• extremes of temperature
• manual handling hazards
• slip, trip and fall hazards
• electrical hazards (e.g. appliances, power sockets, etc.)
• contagious illnesses spread by sick workers
• fire hazards
• chemical hazards (e.g. cleaning products)

Consent form.Here is my consent form,
which I only emailed this to
the person I am taking the
photos of. I did this for legal
reasons for the models safety
and to protect their privacy.
‘Privacy’ (IPSO)
This consent form is needed
for the privacy of the person
who will be having pictures
taken of them.
ETHICAL & LEGAL ISSUES
Copy right issues – Copyright means you have to ask for permission to use their
work. This can be shown on a photo or written work. This means I will have copyright
on my work so then people will have to email me and ask for permission to use my
work.
© will be located above my barcode so when the readers are reading the price of
the magazine they will see that it has the copy right symbol on it.
Data protection act - Data protection act means setting up rules that people have to
follow by having Information Commissioner to enforce the rules.
Intellectual property - Intellectual property refers to creations of the mind, such as
inventions; literary and artistic works; designs; and symbols, names and images
used in commerce.

Production Legal Issues
Copyright – copyright is a form of intellectual property, it enables the
creator of content the power to exclusive rights of their work.
The right to privacy – people have the right to have their own privacy.
When publishing content about people we need to make sure that we
are not breaking any regulations. To make sure this doesn't’t happen,
you would have to ask people that feature in the magazine will be
asked for permission to use their images and information.
Seditious and criminal libel – this is when information that is
considered offensive is written about the government, whereas criminal
libel is publishing information about someone or something that can
create a negative reputation for the person.
Source: http://www.desktop-documentaries.com/copyright-issues.html
Production Ethical issues
Discrimination – the magazine has responsibly for all of its content to meet the editors
code of practice. Therefore no content should include prejudicial content based on an
individuals race, colour, religion, gender and sexual orientation. This may only be
mentioned if there is appropriate relevance to the story.
Children – as children are considered vulnerable there are many limitations to publishing
content that specifically features them. Therefore it is important to establish a contract of
agreement that can be signed by child's parent/guardian to enable us to publish content if
entirely necessary.
Accuracy – content that is published must not be inaccurate, misleading or distorted.
This includes pictures, interviews and general information. Sourcing of details also must
be precise, therefore material published should be definite fact and not rumours. If this
ethical guideline is broken an official apology to the person must be made from the
magazine.
This is relevant to my magazine because accuracy includes pictures, interviews and
general information that must no misleading. Also sourcing of the details must be true, so
there will be no rumors going around that aren't true.

PRESS COMPLAINTS COMMISSION-
I.P.S.OThe PCC used to be the body that regulated press complaints it has now
been superseded by IPSO. It used to be an independent body which
administers the system of self-regulation for the press. It dealt with
complaints, framed within the terms of the Editors' Code of Practice, about
the editorial content of newspapers and magazines and the conduct of
journalists. It assisted individuals by representing their interests to editors
in advance of an article about them being published.
When making my magazine I will have to consider the editors code, this is
found on the press complaints commission website.
HOW IPSO WORKS • Negotiating remedial action and amicable settlements for complainants;
• Issuing rulings on complaints;
• Using published rulings as a means of guiding newsroom practice across the industry;
• Publicly censuring editors for breaches of the Code;
• Passing on pre-publication concerns to editors to prevent the Code being breached;
• Passing on requests to editors that their journalists cease contacting individuals, and so
prevent media harassment;
• Issuing formal guidance, based on its interpretation of the Code, to the industry on
important issues;
• Instigating its own investigations under the Code in the public interest where
appropriate;
• Conducting training seminars for working journalists and editors;
• Liaising with other press councils internationally.

Press Complaints Commission
Areas that are
highlighted with the
Editors Code:
• Accuracy
Opportunity to reply
• Privacy
• Harassment
• Intrusion into grief or
shock
• Children/ Children
• in Sex Cases
• Hospitals
• Reporting of Crime
• Clandestine devices and
subterfuge
• Victims of sexual assault
• Discrimination
• Financial journalism
• Confidential sources
• Witness payments in
criminal trials
• Payment to criminals
Harassment – In this image the picture shows the
ruling appeared in a smaller font than the rest of the
page, did not make reference to the PCC in the
headline, and had been heavily edited, with around half
of it not included. This was unacceptable to the
commission, prompting a further critical adjudication
which the magazine then published prominently and in
full.
Discrimination – In this screen shot its
discriminating women by their colour.
The people magazine was sued because they
only featured women who are white.
Therefore this discriminates against of a darker
skin tone and it also shows racism and sexism.
• Clause 1 – Accuracy
• The press cannot publish any misleading pictures of
information, they must be accurate on everything they do. For
example, I must make sure I do not put an inaccurate date. If I
was inaccurate I would have to really quickly publish an apology.
• Clause 12 – Discrimination
• The press must not publish anything prejudicial. For example
anything about someone's religion or race.

Conclusion
In L02 I talk about the risks and hazards when creating the
magazine as well as legal and ethnical issues. First I
looked at the risk assessment of taking the photographs for
my magazine images. I made a location reece to identify
objects that could harm to those involved. I followed the
step by step for a trade mark to protecting my magazine eg
logo, brand.
I didn’t make many changes with my front cover when analysing the initial plans. In the graphic
layout I changed the masthead from ‘JSX’ to ‘JKZ’.
With the cover lines for the graphic layout I moved them to either side of Will. For my hand drawn
draft I kept it the same as the final front cover, including the main image being centrally framed
which also overlaps the masthead and the main headline (lead story) being positioned at the bottom
of the page.
Pre – Production Material
Magazine final front cover
My magazine will be called JKZ because as the meaning of it
is supposed to be ‘jokes’ it could illustrate the genre is
entertaining and will be full of juicy gossip about the music
industry and the audience will not get bored of the music
and the information inside.
The font style is ‘Myriad Pro’ with the font colour being white
with a red background similar to Q.
The competition in the market will be with Q, NME, XXL and
Kerrang! because they are magazine of a similar genre.
I am going to change a couple colours on my magazine from
my ‘Q’ inspiration magazine and I am going to repeat the
interview on another page of my magazine.
My colour scheme is Red, Black and Grey
Masthead – Is he same deign as Q’s masthead.
Cover lines- I put my cover lines in the same place as Q’s so
both magazines are similar.
Barcode - I placed the barcode in the same place as Q’s
magazine, which I am keeping the same.
The main image – the main image Is in the same place as
the one on Q’s magazine.
Pre – Production Material For my graphic layout idea I didn’t keep the
layout, I changed the whole design of it,
because I thought it wasn’t spaced out
enough. In my hand drawn drafts I layed it
out more neatly and separated the text from
the image so there was no over layering
with images and text. In my final DPS
design I kept with my hand drawn layout but
switched around the image.
Magazine final DPS
On the double page spread the ‘star appeal’ (Richard Dyer) is Fetty Wapp. He is
appealing because he fits with the eclectic genre of my magazine.
There is a whole interview of him inside the life of the music industry and outside. I
have used the same colour such as red and black similar to the front cover to keep
up with the brand identity.
Mood board - JKZ
Equipment
Before taking my images for the front cover and dps I
wanted to have a plain background because I didn’t want
the background on my magazine front cover. I used the
Canon camera with flash to make everything stand out
more.
• Lens cap
• Camera bag
• Battery
• SD card
• Circular Light
Reflector
Test photography – Front cover & DPS
These are all the Test pictures I took of Izzy and Will. Also all the different ones with Izzy’s facial expression,
her clothes are up to date in fashion it could also inspire people to dress like her.
Once I tested Izzy I decided I wanted to use Wills pictures because they related to my interview which was on
Fetty Wapp which is a boy and would fit the stereotype of the genre.
• In my magazine I will be repeating, the house color
scheme. I will be doing this so that my magazine stays
looking professional and neat.
• I will also be keep the same the position of the logo on the
front cover, doing this means readers will know where to
look for my logo when it comes to purchasing my
magazine again.
• I will include conventions such as the cover lines down
the left and right hand side of my magazine.
• I will be adding in a puff promotion – selling something
inside my magazine.

Pre – Production Material
I used the pre – production
material to make sure all my
images stayed the same and
also for everything to be
organized throughout my
work.
My images have stayed the
same throughout my
magazine. One of my
locations didn’t have the
best lighting so I put flash on
and it worked out well and
clear. That day was cloudy
and the room I was in didn’t
have enough windows to get
a clear photo.
Production Process When I was writing my production
process it was important for me to write
down exactly everything I had done and
completed within the days. I left Saturday
and Sunday to be my resting days and
the rest of the week working on my
magazine.
Most of the final week was proof reading
and adding some bits I missed out to
make sure everything was right.
• Firstly, I created a my front cover by using a template which was called the international option.
• Then I used paint bucket and had a grey background but then thought that was boring so I used the gradient tool and made it fade out a bit to make it more interesting.
• Next I inserted my logo for ‘JKZ’ onto my front cover and edited it with the drop down shadow by using blending options.
• Then I added the text ‘Fetty Wapp’ by using the text tool to add the text in. Then I used the blending options and made the text bolder and clearer.
• Next I added the picture of Will onto a separate document and used the 'Quick Selection Tool' (W) to select the image and then 'Select - Inverse' to crop out the un wanted areas.
secondly I used the ‘blending options’ and edited around the edges of him to make them smoother.
Step by step to make my front cover
• I then selected the photo of Will and dragged it onto my front cover template and resized it to the size I wanted.
• Next I changed the colour of the ‘Fetty Wapp’ to a light grey colour because I couldn't’t see it with the bottom of the picture also being a dark colour and wanted it to stand out more.
• I then added the puff promotion onto my front cover; I made a small red circle using the shape tool and then used the paint bucket the make it red. Then I wanted it to stand out more so I used the blending options and made it have a little shadow on it. Then I added some text on it and advertised a festival in it too.
• After that, I made a barcode; by doing this I had to use the public drive videos and I got a barcode and inserted it onto my magazine, then I put the details of when my magazine is released (monthly).
• Next I added some icons above it like Facebook & Twitter to show where you can promote it more. Also I put a Hash tag so people can Hash tag the magazine more and get more people involved with knowing about it.
Step by step to make my front cover
• Lastly, I Added who is featured in my magazine. By doing
this I used the Text tool and made some lines to out
underneath as it’s the same in my magazine of inspiration.
Step by step to make my front cover
Step by step to make my DPSFirstly, I opened my DPS template up and changed the background to white using the paint bucket tool. Then I added my ‘JKZ’ logo by going to insert and added my JKZ logo as a picture.
Then I made two separate pictures and added two versions of will to go at the top. I used the quick selection tool and deleted the background and then used ‘filters’ to make an effect on will and I chose the cartoon one. Then I made them face each other and made it into one photo.
After that I added in my interview with Fetty Wapp. I made columns for the writing to go, in the middle of the interview I added a pull quote from Fetty which says “I love my fans and thank every single one of them” I did this so it would smart and organized. I made a new text box and wrote the quote inside of the text box. I then went to window text wrap and moved the text into the middle of the interview. By using text wrap the interview wrapped around the pull quote.
Next I made page numbers to go at the bottom of the page. I used the text tool and made little numbers and moved them where I wanted then I also put my logo JKZ next to it as it’s the same in my magazine of inspiration.
Step by step to make my DPS
Drop down capital
To achieve this convention I went to ’Window’ -
‘paragraph’, double-clicked the paragraph style, and then
click Drop Caps And Nested Styles. I then had to specify
the number of drop-cap lines and characters, and then
choose the character style.
I then added a heading using the Text I found on Da font and downloaded it to my text tool and used it. I had to made it big enough to fill half a page and stand out a lot.
I added a background image so my DPS looks more complete
and not missing a background. I added the background by
Placing an image. Navigate to the file you would like to import
and double click the file name. Move your cursor to the location
where you want to place your graphic and click your mouse. This
will place the image on your page.
Expand the graphic frame. Pull from a corner of the image
while holding the Shift + Alt keys.
Safe Working Practices This is my practice double page spread I made to see
if all my pictures and text would fit.
When editing the images I deleted the background of
the image using ‘quick selection’ because the
background didn't’t match the page. I then used a
background from Google images for the second
image. For the top image I used the paint bucket tool
and put a dark blue as the background.
I changed my mind when creating my actual DPS and
changed my colour scheme to colours that suited
boys and girls and all age ranges.
The ‘Eyedropper tool’ (I) is used to sample a color from an image to use this colour
further. It's practical as it facilitates color selection, for example, an appropriate colour for
the skin or the sky.
I used the eye dropper tool to to have the same blue as the graffiti in the background of
Will.
Proof Reading and Sub-Editing-
’Window-Paragraph’ Here I have screen-shoot evidence of me using the
‘Paragraph tool’, I first highlighted all my text, then went to
‘Window’ and clicked on ‘Paragraph’ then clicked on
‘hyphenate’.
Naming layers
When renaming layers in the Layers panel, double-click the layer name
to rename it. Then, without pressing the Enter/Return key to apply the
new name, simply tap the Tab key to move to the layer below.
I have named the layers so that it is easier to locate them when I want to
edit one of the layers.
Colour swatches
To make sure I repeated the same colours throughout the front cover and DPS I
made a colour swatch to save my colours on Photoshop so then I keep the same
colours throughout my work. For this to be possible I used the eye dropper tool
and added the colour into the swatch.
Safe Working Practices
• When creating my DPS and Front cover, I made sure before putting
any images down, and when I wanted to resize them I made sure that
I held down shift this is so that the image didn’t pixelate or warp.
• Integration of text and imagery - I used the 'Pen Tool' (P) to wrap the cover lines around the face and ensuring the layers were not clashing. This is important because then the cover lines are all in one place and not scattered about.
• I also made sure when positioning any images or text I used the ruler
tool, whereby doing this made sure that all my images were in line
with the text so that it looked professional and neat.

The first image is someone asking if
your allowed and the second image is

This is the text I used which is free
to download for personal use.
Proof Reading and Sub – Editing
I ensured that I read through the content within my magazine, I did this to make
sure the content was at a professional standard, and ready to be published.
When it came to some of the content such as the main interview my employees
(the editors) came across a few spelling mistakes, we then followed this up by
checking through the whole magazine so that there wasn’t any other spelling
mistakes or grammar errors.
Proof reading Shown:
Spelling of Names such as Rihanna, and Bieber, as well as no capital
letter for Names.
Conclusion
• In L03 I have looked at the production processes and also
I have worked on how they take place to create final
product. I started with making my mood board and this
helped me know what artists I wanted, colour scheme and
also the target audience.
• Furthermore in this L0 I have focused on taking the
images for my magazine and locating them in a detailed
location reece.
Deadlines
Pre- production: This process includes securing
the artists for an interview and photographs. Also
deciding the official date of the release of the
magazine.
Production: There are many deadlines at this stage too, this includes getting
information and images that will be included in my magazine. If the deadline isn't
met there might be problems with not having enough content to fill the magazine
with.
Post -production: In this stage it includes photo shopping the images,
changing the page layouts and the text people proof read.
Before making my magazine I had to make sure I
was constructing the magazine through pre
production, production and post production. By
creating this plan it helped me with making my
production process.
The deadline is the 20th July.
Example of a DeadlineIn these screenshots they
show evidence of the
dates/deadlines I have to
follow throughout my work,
and ensure that my
coursework was
completed by these dates
shown.
Here is also evidence of
me meeting a deadline,
in the excel spread
sheet, here are a list of
corrections which I have
been given, with a
deadline date
underneath, from which
I have met this deadline.
Post-Production Skills – Tools
This tool makes the font thicker, wider, bigger and bolder.
This helped me with my front cover and DPS magazine
because I made the font stand out more to the readers.
I edited Will with the artistic- coloured pencil effect, I
used this effect because it made will look like a cartoon.
This is where I located it and explored all of the effects but
the coloured pencil effect was the one I liked the best.
I used the software Photoshop and InDesign CS5.1 to
create my front cover and DPS respectively as I wanted
it to look professional and neat.
Post-Production Skills – Tools
I used this shape tool (U) to make my puff
promotion and my masthead. It is a good tool to
use because it makes perfectly sized shapes
which you can crop smaller or bigger.
I have used the gradient tool (G) for my
background; the colours I used in my background
were grey and white. It is very useful and is a
quicker way of filling gaps on a page.
Post-Production Skills – Tools I have put guide lines on my magazine to lay
everything out easier also it makes my
magazine look straight and set up properly
with no overlapping and also to keep
everything in straight lines.
I used the text tool (T) to put my
cover lines, main header, masthead
and puff promotion on to my
magazine.
I used the quick selection (W) tool to cut
Wills head and shoulders and copy it onto
my front cover. This tool made it really easy
to select and move a image.
Before and After
The picture on the left is of Will
before I edited him with the
‘artistic- coloured pencil’ effect.
This is what Will looks like with the
artistic- coloured pencil on the
picture.
Safe Working Practices This is my practice double page spread I made to see
if all my pictures and text would fit.
When editing the images I deleted the background of
the image using ‘quick selection’ because the

I used the eye dropper tool to to have the same blue as the graffiti in the background of
Will.
Safe Working Practices (continued) These screenshots show you are allowed to copyright the
Dafont text.
Before using any font from DaFont for my magazine I
have to look at the legal and ethical issues of the font,
and see whether or not I am allowed to use the font
without any permission or whether I have to contact the
owner/creator of the font to be given permission would
have to do this for the ‘legal’ side of things.
This is the text I used which is free to
download for personal use.
This evidence demonstrates how for
certain fonts you may need to ask
for permission from the
owner/creator of the font whether or
not you can use there font. You
would have to find the
owner/creators email and email
them asking whether you can use
their font or not, you will need to do
this before.
This is ‘free font’ and is only
for personal use ONLY.

Changes made- Front Cover. Before After
Software
• The software I used was Adobe Photoshop because it is easy to use
and had all the tools I needed. For example; crop tool, resize tool,
ruler, guidelines to keep all the photos and text the same height.
• I also used bridge to edit my images of Will because it is an easier
way to edit images. I can change the brightness and the contrast, on
the right when you click on the picture you want to edit.
Changes made-DPSBefore
After
Final front cover I have changed the
puff promotion to
make it stand out more
and visible to the
reader.
I have put a white outline
on the main headline
because you couldn’t see
it clearly without it. Also it
looks more professional
I have moved the
coverlines to the right
more so they didn’t
cover Will’s face and
then made him stand
out more.
Before
I have kept my logo the
same throughout my
magazine because when
pitching people preferred
this logo compared to my
other one.
I have changed the main
image because this
image fitted the genre to
my magazine more.
Final DPS CoverI have changed the layout on my DPS to get all of the
interview to fit into the columns.
I have added
columns on my
DPS to make it
look professional
and neatly laid
out.
I have put the
interviewer in
the colour red to
make it look
separated with
Fetty’s answers.
I have
produced Will
on the other
half of the
page to make
sure the
audience
knows he is
the star
appeal.
I’ve placed the Facebook and twitter logo’s on
my DPS to tell the audience that there are
Facebook and twitter pages.

My launch date is October 1st- My magazine will be released the
first of every month for the public to read. I like the idea of having the
whole month to get ready for the next issue. There are no dates that
will be in conflict with my release date for my magazine.
I have some upcoming festivals in my magazine for V Festival &
wireless & reading. These festivals are in my magazine because
teenagers and young adults go to them so they can relate and would
enjoy reading the magazine more.

Risk Assessment
Risk assessment
• Making sure I held down CTRL shift when resizing my
pictures so they're not pixilated and blurry.
• Making sure I have saved my work, every 15 minutes so I
don’t loose work and have to do it again.
• Checking if the layers on Photoshop are all named so I
can tell the difference.
Feedback of Pitch – Witness Statement
These are the feedback
comments I got given back
when I finished my presentation.
This helps me know what I need
to re-do and what things I have
done well in.
Conclusion
I have been making my front cover and DPS look
professional with the tools; eye drop, quick selection to
remove the original background, also I have put in the
changes I’ve throughout my magazine and the
improvements.
