3. Rough sketches
Masthead- The masthead
will be in the top left of the
page which allows it to be
visible to the audience.
Strapline- The strapline
is placed under the main
image next to the main
headline as well.
Cover lines- my cover
lines will be placed on the
side of the page, so it
doesn't take away
attention from the main
image.
Main image- the main
image is placed in the
middle of the page, so it
is in the center and
gains the most attention
that it can.
Main headline- The
main headline will be
found under the main
image because this will
describe the main image
in a word or two.
Barcode and pricing- the
barcode and price will be in
the corner of the front
cover, this is essential as it
needs to be visible to scan.
4. Rough sketches
Main headline- The
main headline will be
found under the main
image because this will
describe the main image
in a word or two.
Main image- the main
image is placed in the
middle of the page, so it is
in the center and gains the
most attention that it can.
Drop capital- will be
found in the top corner
of where the interview is
which will make the
page more appealing .
Stand first- the stand
first will be seen near the
headline so they can see
the introductory about
the story
At the bottom of every
page you will be able to
see the page number,
also there will be the
logo this is essential
because it is good to
advertise your logo and
make people familiar
with the logo.
5. Final sketches
First of all, I would have the mast head at the top left corner of the front cover, this
is due to the fact that the masthead needs to be highly visible to the audience that
will be looking at it; it being in the top left will be appealing to the audience with
bright colors ect, to try and attract them to want and buy the magazine. Also I will
have a quote so that the customers can see that there is a quote relevant to the
article. Furthermore I will also have puff promotions and social media links which
could lead to more consumers. Also I will have cover lines down the side of the
front cover, this is because I don’t want to draw any attention from the main
image.
6. House style and ColoUr
SchemeColor Scheme
My color scheme for the magazine I prefer is Red, Black and White.
This is because I liked the look of Q magazines magazine which is the
same colors and it looked very clean and smart looking so I decided to
do the same.
Font Style
The font style I am using is Obelix pro for main headings and titles. This
is because it goes with my rap theme and for people who don’t already
know the magazine, when they first see it this will help them to tell what
genre the magazine is, this is due to the fact that the font looks a bit like
graffiti but a neater version which could convey to the audience that my
genre of my magazine is rap.. This font also looks very unique which is
what I wanted on my magazine.
7. Font style
This is my
chosen font style
for $TACKZ
downloaded
from dafont.com
8. Masthead ideas
Masth
ead
$TACKZ
$tackz can convey how much money
an individual has, furthermore in this
way it will be illustrating that
someone who is in the magazine
has lot of money from music.
Music
madnes
s
Music madness could convey that all
of the music released in this
magazine may be seen to the
audience as a madness, which could
attract more people to want to read
the magazine.
All of these names
on this slide were
ideas that I thought
that I could of used
for my masthead
on my magazine,
but I ended up
using $tackz
9. Images of influences
S For trying to pick ideas for my magazine, I used existing
magazines to try develop good ideas to be able to
produce my magazine as best as possible. For example
ideas that I could have used would be something like the
font that another magazine used that could of attracted
me to use it.
11. Interview draft
Hello, how are you?
I'm good thanks mate, you?
Good, whens your tour at the 02 then?
14th of December , going to get shutdown bro you should come.
Where you going to go on tour first?
London man, my hometown, where I first started music, where I met my pals from music.
If the tickets are still available, who are your special guests?
I got a couple people rolling through, that’s on the low though.
Fair enough, whens the album dropping as well can’t wait for that to drop.
That’s a little bit after the tour man, thinks its early January trust it will be sick think I got about 7 to 8 songs coming out on that album, when it drops I will send
you a copy for free man.
Much appreciated mate, can’t wait for the tour and the album.
Yh neither can I bro, I am struggling to right lyrics at the moment am going through quite a bad time in the music industry that’s why I haven’t been releasing
much man.
Why what has happened, catch me up I haven’t spoken with you in ages!
Basically, cut a long story short I done a bad thing went too prison but that’s all in the past I am a changed man now want to carry on writing music.
When you came out of prison, was the songs that you released about the life in their, because I can imagine you was writing a lot whilst you was in their, about
how hard life was at that specific time?
Yeah man, whilst your in their it is different to how you would think, if you haven’t been in prison then you won’t realize how hard life is in there, but when I was in
their yes I did write a couple songs one of which is on YouTube now called jail pain, it is just all about life in there and how very few people visited me and the
poor quality of food that I was eating ect, also I am on the process of writing a track which will be part 2 when I went back in prison soon after.
Oh no, I never heard the first jail pain but I will look at it later, someone told me about a prison song coming out with you, I can’t wait mate im really looking
forward to it.
Yes it will be lit bro trust me on that one, but honestly keep holding tight because my new ep is coming out which 5 new hot tracks are going to be coming out in
a couple months.
Yes that is what I like to hear, the old you is coming back and with more progression, when was the last song out then if you been in prison for this whole time?
My last song must off been a good year back and a half ago, on link up TV making money featuring young trapper. The one that was recorded on the top of the
building do you remember?
Yes mate, I do remember now that was ages ago, nice speaking to you anyway.
13. Test photography continued
S For my test photography I have had to do take some
photos to give myself a variety of photos to pick for my
front cover. I have taken some photos of myself who I am
the artist for my front cover. I have decided to choose this
photo because I think it is the best photo of the 4 I have
taken. A factor why the test photography can be seen as
good as it gives you a chance to see what the photos will
look like.
14. Prop list
S For my photographs for my issue, I didn’t need any more equipment or
any props. This is because I only need a camera and the individual
that is going to be In the picture. Therefore this specific person will
need a few different outfits in able to have a variety of different photos
which will allow me to pick out of a variety of pictures. The camera that
was used for my photography was a Nikon D3300 Digital SLR Camera
with 18-55mm this is due to the fact that I want my photo’s to as
professional as possible. I borrowed this camera from school as they
have the best quality cameras around.
S If I was to have some props in my magazine I would have some
musical instruments like a microphone to make it look more
professional and more of a music magazine.

21. Conclusion
S To include lo1, I will justify all of my ideas that will help me
create and form my magazine, e.g. the staff and equipment
needed and how much that will cost. Also it will conclude the
rough sketches and final sketches which will be over my hand
drawn drafts of my front cover, which in this case is ‘Rap City’.
S Overall to conclude my magazine and if I was to make another
one in the future one improvement that I would do is to think
through what your picture is going to be and the
equipment/prop that is going to be in main photo for your front
cover, e.g include a rapper with a microphone to make the front
cover seem more professional and this will illustrate what your
genre is in your magazine.
24. Software risk assessment
S When I was creating my magazine front cover and my dps for my
magazines I made sure that all the segments throughout both
magazines I made sure it looked as professional. For example
when inserting an image, and resizing it I make sure that I hold
down the shift key when resizing because if you don’t follow this
procedure then the image may become pixilated and loose the
images quality due to not holding down the shift key so therefore
I make sure I hold it to make my images have the best quality.
Another procedure that is essential to follow is when inserting
text to a magazine make sure that a ruler tool is used so that the
writing doesn’t overlap any images which also furthermore,
makes it look unprofessional..
S Lastly, for every magazine that I have created I have used the
same colour scheme so therefore when someone from the
audience has already previously seen my magazine they should
be able to recognize it which may boost the amount of sales that
I get because more people may recognize it which may make
25. Hazards at work place
The health and safety act, Often referred to as HASAW or HSW,
this Act of Parliament is the main piece of UK health and safety
legislation. It has 13 different headings and 10 different schedules
which will consist of commissions, regulations and provisions.
These duties are about a specific individual that is employed as is
currently working, but it is the fact that the individual has to be safe
at work and try not to injure themselves and if anything does occur
at work, for example the person working does get injured then they
will have to write down what has happened and if it is a serious
injury then it may have to involve going to the hospital then it may
become more serious. It Is essential that at every work place that
the surroundings and health by every employee for that specific
business gets controlled regularly and if there is any problems then
the manager will need to be informed as soon a possible.
26. Ethical and legal issues
S The independent press standards organizations(ipso) who are an
independent regulator who set out rules and regulations that media
companies are in competition with. We hold newspapers and
magazines to account for their actions, protect individual rights, uphold
high standards of journalism and help to maintain freedom of
expression for the press. They hold newspapers and magazines to
account for their actions, protect individual rights, uphold high
standards of journalism and help to maintain freedom of expression for
the press.
S The ASA is a non-statutory organization and so cannot interpret or
enforce legislation. However, its code of advertising practice broadly
reflects legislation in many instances.
S Ethical Issue is a essential part of producing a magazine because if
there are ethical issues that are found in a magazine when it is
published, complaints could be sent to the publisher complaining
about a specific ethical issue that may harm the person reading the
magazine.https://www.gov.uk
27. Ethical and legal issues
continued
Ip/watermark- content that usually has been used for copyright can be referred as ‘IP’ which
furthermore means Intellectual property which means that it belongs to someone else but you
are using it for the meanwhile for progress in your work, which this is also protected by the law
and government. IP allows owners and trade markers to be benefitted from their own work and
investment. This is furthermore essential because for my magazine I have not used copyright
as all the work is mine and is protected due to the fact that it has all be wrote by myself.
Royalties- A royalty is a payment to an owner for the use of property, especially patents,
copyrighted works, franchises or natural resources. The NLA newspaper licensing company
which sell licenses to newspaper and now they have started selling magazine contents. If an
individual has created some information that they are using for some work, and another person
wants to use this information then the will have to pay the creator to use this information, which
furthermore is what I have done in my magazine because it contains information that will
include original content which will need to be protected.
Ethical issues- With my magazine if anyone finds that there is a problem in the magazine
then they will have to contact myself to choose whether the alternatives are right with will be
ethical or wrong which is unethical. When releasing my magazine I must make sure that I don’t
advertise something that is false because this could lead to complaints coming in from the
audience of your magazine . For example pricing your magazine wrong by saying on the
magazine that it is £2.99 when really it is getting sold in Tesco for £3.50 which is unethical
because you are lying to the audience about how much you are really selling your magazine at.

28. Safe working practices
S As I have already said in my PowerPoint before a quick
an accessible way to remove a background of a
photograph or image on Photoshop, the way to do this
quick is to go to where the tool bar on the left side of the
screen on Photoshop go down to the ‘magic wand’ and
scroll over it and it should come up with quick selection
tool and magic wand toll but the one to use is the quick
selection tool which then you need to click everywhere
that you want to remove, the best way to do this is slowly
as if you go to quick then this could lead you to removing
to much. But furthermore, go slowly and once you have
clicked everything that you want to remove click enter
and the background should go. On the left is an example
of when I have used the quick selection tool to remove a
background of on of my images

I must make sure I follow the codes of practices for
example accuracy making sure I do not provide false
information about any artists.
34. Conclusion
Within this lesson object for unit 14 l01, l02 I have completed the
following tasks to try and get the best results possible. To
conclude this lo I had to justify how to stay safe in a workplace
without hurting myself or another individual whilst working, which
is essential because is it significant that you follow the procedures
of how to stay safe at work then you will be safe and should never
fall injured. Also I had to complete the location Reece where I had
to fill out where my pictures where taken, who took them, the
equipment needed and lastly the potential hazards that could of
occurred whilst on going these pictures being taken.
