1. Initial Plans
Aaron Johnson

2. Initial Reaction
• My initial reaction was to create a magazine based on thing that I enjoy. For example football or
video games or movies. I have previously made a magazine on football which I enjoyed creating and
designing.
• For my football Idea I would create a magazine based on a certain football club as a club special and
select certain things. I would create my magazine on my favourite club which is Liverpool. My
magazine would consist of the history of the club and other factors such as what is currently
happening within the team with team facts etc. I feel this could be a strong ide as I'm a passionate
sports fan and especially about the team I support.
• Another idea that popped into my head straight away was to create a magazine on a game that is
currently the worlds most played game which is Fortnite as I enjoy playing the game and would
enjoy creating a magazine based on the current game. What's potentially going to happen and let
people know about all the new updates coming to the game such as new skins and weapons.
• My final initial reaction was to consider doing movies. This is the one I would be least interested to
do however I do enjoy watching the occasional film and feel because the film industry is global that
i would have a lot of good ideas to play around with.
• Pros of me doing a magazine on my local football team are that I have easy access to the football
matches, I can gather my own photos nice and easily. I have more than one opportunity to get
photos if I’m not satisfied first time round.
• Cons of me doing a local magazine are that due to the weather I may not be able take the photos
as I have set days as side in order to get my photos. Another con is that getting permission from the
club to take photos of the team may be difficult.

6. Mood board analysis
• My analysis of my mood board is that I have used
existing products because I haven’t yet taken or
got any photos of the local teams kit. These are a
few examples of the kind of photos I want to
achieve such as football boots and football kits.
• I’m creating my magazine on my local team called
Goal Sports. This is a example of the equipment
and the products I want to use in my magazine
when capturing my photos.

8. Mood Board Analysis
There is repetition in the colours I have found in the way that the primary colour of the kit and its secondary colour
contrast together very well making the kit stand out. I also noticed the sponsorships of the club are often in a plain and
simple font style which is easy to read. It is also in he secondary colour which allows it to be more visible when against
the primary colour of the it.
The sponsorships like to be placed in the centre of the kits where the chest would be or on the sleeves of the football
kits. I chose similar image styles to be able to compare the similarities and layouts of the kits.
When looking at a front cover football magazine you can see straight away that the colours are powerful and bright
and the pictures are close ups of the players with a lot of text around them which is eye catching. Where as a
newspaper front cover put an image of the person they are talking about and a made up slogan that is catchy, for
example “Roo blows fuse over boos” They also add bold text in a large font to make it stand out. When looking at the
inside articles the magazine articles have several photos and less text which combined is a nice balance because they
give the right amount of information for the readers but it doesn’t make people see it and think I don’t want to read
that cause its to long. However newspapers have the opposite strategy where they put one or two photos and a lot of
text.
My mood board will not influence my final product as my photos of my product is already complete however it will
make me look at the football kit I'm capturing and see comparisons between that and premier league club kits as most
Sunday league clubs try to replicate the layout of big football team kits. Also I will try to replicate the layout of the
magazine front and inside cover instead of the newspaper article.
