The document provides details on idea development and production planning for a fanzine on the Final Fantasy video game series, including mood boards, page layout, character pages, an interview, and a 3-week production schedule to complete the fanzine layout and illustrations. It outlines plans for the cover, running order of pages, character profiles on Cloud Strife, Jenova and Sephiroth, a double-page interview with Nobuo Uematsu, and minimalist pages featuring Vivi and a Moogle.
2. Mood Boards:
A range of ideas to take forward in to production. Should include images, colour schemes and font choices. Could include

4. Pagination:
A plan for the pages of your book. What will be the cover? What will be the running order? What will go in it? How many
pages for each item? This is important to get right if you want it to print correctly later on. It will also help you plan the space
you have.

For the front cover I'm going to

V box art as its my favourite from
the game series.

fanzine, I’m going to create a pattern of three
of the series most iconic characters. That being
the Chocobo, the Moogle and Cactuar.
For the first character Information
page, I'm going to do Cloud Strife
from Final Fantasy VII as I believe
its one of the series most iconic
games as well as one of the most
iconic characters. I shall Be talking
about their appearance, origins and
role in the story of the game.
