you?
That it is based onsport, and specifically MMA, I
have been a follower of the sportfor a long time
andI have lots of opinionsthatI think are very
valid due tobeing a follower of the sportsince a
very youngage, as well as havinglots of
knowledge onthe sportand being able to use this.
Outline someof the initial influences onyour
idea/work and somepotential research targets
(remember, research isn’t justa paperbased
activity)
An influence on my work is the sportof MMA
itself, aswell as a lot of magazinesI have
previously been interested in. IncludingBoxing
Monthly andThe Ring magazine, I feel there isn’t
a good, or big enoughMMAmagazine out there
so thisis a goodproject to do.
What effect do youwant to haveon your
audience when they see yourproject?
Intrigueand interest, aswell as feeling like they
come away knowingmore thanthey didwhen
they picked up the magazine, it shouldbe
informative.
Describe the tone/mood/styleofyourproject
[which productiontechniques/characteristicsare
youemploying?]
It will be a professional stylemagazine, meaning
all the editing shouldbe donewell in order togo
with that tone, as well as having multiple articles.
Why have youdecided to makeyour project in
this style?
As I believe thisis the bestway to portray this
sportand get the mosteyes on it, fansof the
sportwould be attracted to thiskind of product.
