3. Setting up equipment
For my photo shoot I used a 100D canon camera so that I would
have good quality photos, that I would not get from a normal
camera. As well as that the camera has a range of different of
settings that will help make the images high quality even before
having to photo shop them.
Equipment Cost
Chairs (X9) £341.91
Table (X9) £296.91
Board room £171.18
Computer (X9) £1,799.91
Camera £349

Paper (X2) £5.98

4. Pre-production material
Having Pre-production materials help give a
guide on what you want your magazine to look
at the end. By having more than one drawn draft
it gives you a chose on which one looks
professional or what really links to the
audiences your trying to sell too. By also having
a photography plan it helps get your ideas
flowing on what you want on the front cover
and DPS.

8. Operating desktop publishing tools
(Front cover)
Open up Photoshop and set up a blank canvas set to the size of A4. You are then going to click on the ruler tool (Ctrl+R) so that everything on
your canvas will be in line and in place. To hide the ruler lines you press(Ctrl + H). First thing to do is change the colour of your background on
the canvas, it best to change the background to the colour that you have suggested in your mind map. To change the colour look to the side
bar for a box with the colours going from dark to light ( or just the 12th box down the side bar). Then change the colour by using the coloured
boxes at the bottom of the tool bar and then have the colour as you wish. Next you are going to want to put the most important conventions
in first. An example of this masthead and barcode with the issue date, website address, small masthead logo and publisher logo. When
adding your barcode you can insert an image of one by going to ‘file’ and the ‘place’. Then your going to click (Ctrl+T), you can change the
shape and size of the image , then move it to the desirable position.
Above or to the side of the barcode you can insert text to add your additional information by clicking the ‘T’ on the side bar in Photoshop.
Now that you’ve done that you are going to place your masthead and strapline. What you need to do for this part is add the shapes of the
masthead and strapline by clicking on the solid square on the tool bar ( 18th box down) and draw to the size you want. Then you add the
magazine name and text and also the strapline. If you ever want to move this around all together and keep everything in the same place,
highlight the layers on the far right , right click and click ‘ link layer’. Depending on your logo, you can add text effects by right clicking on the
text layer and go to ‘blending option’.
The next convention that you should add next is the photo you want on your front cover. If you go to ‘file’ and then ‘ place’ you can add an
image that you have taken for your front cover. To remove the background of that image have the said image selected and find the quick
selection tool on the tool bar (4th down), then select the background you want to get rid of and make sure you don’t delete parts of the
picture you need to keep. To neaten the edges click on the eraser ( 13th down) and select the airbrush tool and to do this look in the top left
of the screen at the eraser and find it on the drop down. Move the image around on the page and change the shape and size to how you
want it. If you want to add an effect you can either go on the layer and to ‘ blending option’ again or at the top go to filter and edit to how
you want the picture to look.
To make it look like a magazine, you need to add a strapline, anchorge text, puff promotion, quote and cover stories. Use the text icon in
the bar tool to add your text and then you can change to colour of your text using the colour swatches at the bottom of the tool bar and if
you want to change the width and height of the text , highlight over it and click ‘window’ at the top of the screen and go to ‘ character’. Adapt
it to how you’d like it to look and then carry on adding your text. For puff promotion, repeat the steps of adding a shape then text on top. For
puff promotion, you do not want it to look to text heavy, so make sure you keep it concise.

9. Operating desktop
publishing tools ( DPS)
For the double page spread you will need to open up InDesign.
You will need to repeat the steps like you would do for a front cover by creating the canvas to the size you would like and adding
you ruler lines. You can move them if you don’t like where they have been placed. Also changed the background to how you’d
like it . Like you would fro your front cover , you should add your masthead but not the strapline. On your front cover, you can
copy your masthead layers ( select the layer and click ‘duplicate layer) and drag it to your double page. If you want to add a
border then use the shape tool and make the shape to the size you would like and place it. At the bottom, you need to add
your page number, date issue and preferably your logo. To do this, use the text tool information.
On your double page, you need to add your headline and make it stand out, it would be best to adapt the text, so going to
windows and then character again is an example. Now that the basics are un place, the next thing to add would be your
image(s). Repeat the same again like you would for your front cover by going to ‘file’ and the ‘place. You can edit your picture
as you wish and move it to where you had planned it to go. Once everything is in place, you can now add your text for . The first
bit of the article that could be added is a quote. The reason is because if you need to have text going around it you know where
and when to use the pen tool. By adding your quote, the stand verse is the next text to add. When adding your stand verse, you
need to create a drop capital so all you need to do is to create a text box and type the first letter of the first word you are going
to use. Then you get the pen tool form the side bar (15th down) and click around some of the sides of your letter and then carry
on making a text box where you want your stand verse to go. After that type all your text for that paragraph. The rest of your
article can be added and if you need to, use pen tool in case you need to type around a quote or an image , or both. Lastly what
you can do is add caption to your photo(s) and then your double page is complete.

10. Conclusion
To conclude in this section I have covered what
equipment I would need to set up a photo
shoot, and all key dates for the process of
making the magazine. As well as this I have
covered step by step guides on how to make the
front cover and DPS.
