2. Witness Statement
Starting with my witness statement it is clear that I did include most of the content that
needed to be added. However, one thing that I could have included was information on
The theories such as Katz, Hartley's and Maslow's towards the target audience. By doing
this could have more accurately explain who my magazine is targeted towards and how
it relates to the genre. Furthermore, it is also mentioned that I should done a clear sweep
through all the slides to ensure clear spelling and this would help the viewers to
understand my pitch more clearly.

3. Corrections to front cover
When adapting sand making my
magazine front cover better I
decided to add more colour on
the page making the text more
visible and easier to see. I also
added a drop shadow and this
helps with the front cover as it
makes the main image stand out
more prominently and creates
depth in the image.

4. Corrections to double page spread
On the double page
spread however I added
once again more brighter
but clearer colours helping
the text and information
on the page such as the
interview to stand out a
lot easier and making it a
lot easier to read overall.

5. Production plan
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday
The date of
publication will be
decided on this
day as well as
everyone will work
together in order
to create a
schedule of the
work that needs
to be done.
The magazines
editing team will
be able to
decide what
contents will be
going into the

they will also
decide what ever
the biggest artist
or biggest

image on the
front cover.
At this point the
“external” and
“internal” writers

vital part of the
magazine
productions as
they must look
professional and
relevant.

At this stage the
layout staff will use
different programs
such as “InDesign”
or “PageMaker” in
order to type out
and set the layout
of all the pages of
the magazine. Then
the decided adverts
from different
companies get
placed into the
magazine to which
the magazine
makes a large
portion of its
profits.

Then the “editorial
team” will print out a
hard copy of the
magazine in order to
read through it and
see if there are any
issues that need to be
taken care of. It is also
important that every
member of staff is
satisfied that there are
no errors within the
magazine, and if there
are they will be
corrected on a DTP file
done by editorial
team. This makes it a
vital stage as it
ensures that the
content, layout and
final product meets
the satisfactory needs
before it heads out to
the general public.

sold to the public and
this is the point where
the public will get

8. Font styles
I like these fonts for my Masthead because they are simple and
bold in order to catch the readers attention. Due to the fact that
the fonts are bold makes it easy for the consumer to see and
recognize which magazine it is. Also the majority of these fonts
link to the style of music that will be inside the magazine.

9. Chosen font styles
Lemon milk
This is the font style that I will be using
for my music magazine as it is stylish and
is simple for my music magazine
Hand shop Typography
This is the font that I will be using
for my second magazine as I feel it
is classic looking and stands out.

10. House style TV
 Colour scheme: Another colour scheme that I would use would be black, red and
yellow. The reason for this is because red and black are quite dark and evil colours
and the yellow will connote that the magazine is not all evil as well as it will stand
out a lot more.
 Font style: Firstly, my magazines font will be Hotel de Paris due to the fact that
the font sticks out of the page and looks like a font that would be in a magazine.
For the Masthead however I would use the font Antique book cover as it looks a
lot more professional than all the others but also makes the magazine look a bit
more evil than a usual magazine. This time the Masthead will be on the left hand
side of the page and the logo will be at the top right of the page making it the
first thing you see when you open the page making it more memorable.
 Social media: I also think that this magazine should be in synergy will social
media as it would mean that more consumers will want to buy the magazine and
the magazine will become more memorable.

11. House style FlatBass
 Colour scheme: My colour scheme will have black, red and
white. This is because I believe that these colours will stand out
the most but will also keep the magazine professional and
simples.
 Font style: My magazines font will be in American captain as I
believe that is it is clear to read but also gives a hint of being
professional. Furthermore, for my Masthead however I will be
using the font knucklehead as I believe that it looks clear and
easy to read but also will stand out to the consumer a lot more.
The logo will be located at the bottom of every page and the
masthead will be be located top left of each page making it
more noticeable.
 Social media: Flat Bass should be in synergy with social media
as it would be able to then obtain more publicity and therefore
get more consumers.

12. Calendar Events
 I will be releasing my finished chosen magazine on the January 3rd 2018.
The reason for this is due to the fact that January is one of the months
where the least amount of media items and content is being released and
because of this it would allow me to sell the magazine more easily as
there would be new content that the audiences would like to see. Also
with it being released on January 3rd this would allow me to advertise the
exclusive magazine content nationally.

13. Risk Assessment
 Photography risks
 In order to ensure that I am able to take images off the subject that I want to take pictures
of I will need to have their consent. Knowing this I made sure that I sent the subject a email
asking them to kindly accept my request so that I could take and use the photos as my
main images in my magazine.
 Area risks
 Before I even take the images that I need of the subject I would need to ensure that the
area that I take the images is safe for both me and the subject ad this way it will make the
process of taking and picking the images for the magazine a lot easier.
 Software risks
 After taking the images I will then move onto the editing stage and I would need to make
sure that the size of the image on the front will fit nicely and professionally but also the
images have to be realistic in order to relate tot eh content that would be on the inside of
the magazine.

14. Safe working practices
 It is very important to be safe in the workplace and so because of this the
workers will need to follow the health and safety rules and regulations
when design anything in the work place. When using certain software such
as Photoshop it is important to use tools such as the eyedropper tool in
order to copy and transfer colours over onto other parts of the image that
are being worked on. By doing so the user is able to use the exact same
colour in the a different part of the image without losing the colour and
having a mixture of colours over the image. Another example would be
using the magic wand tool and by doing so the user is able to select a
complex area in Photoshop without having to go around the object and
select each part individually.

15. Subscription service
 For both of my magazines (Flat Bass and TV) I have decided that the best
way to inform the audience about the latest content and new upcoming
tours for the artists would be to include a subscription service. By doing
this I would be able to obtain a increased amount of potential readers that
can absorb the content and still want to come back for more content. On
the website, where the subscription service will be located, there will be
options such as buying a print based media product of the magazine so
the consumers can read and have a copy of the magazine delivered to
their home.

16. Conclusion
 In this power point I have included information associated
with what was going to be included in the magazines and
what I needed to change in order to make my magazine front
cover and Double page spread better and therefore appeal to
the audience a lot more. Furthermore, there is information
associated with how the readers will be able to access the
website and how they would be able to subscribe to stay up
to date with the latest content.
