Project proposal title and date: Factual Project. September to November 2021.
Main area of activity: I will be creating a fanzine that includes football content.
Target Audience: My main primary target audience is between 16–21-year-olds, this is
because it doesn’t resemble older style of fanzine so older people who are interested in the
older style of fanzine with the drawings and illustrations might not be as interested in my
more modern version of fanzine. It appealsto a younger audience as my fanzine will be
more modernised however a paper view might not appeal to a younger audience as they
like to do things online so I will produce an online one as well as printing one out. Also
being a part of the target audience means I know what people my age enjoys and what
would make them pick up my fanzine, so I know what I need to include.
Rationale: In my previous work I have created print style products such as magazine front
covers and posters, I have gained a few skills and picked up the basics of how to use
photoshop. I will be doing multiple experimentsbefore I start production on my project to
practice and learn things that may prove to be useful in my project. The work I have
previously created will be useful as I have already created front covers so I can use
inspiration from that to help influence and create my new project.
Project Concept: I am going to be creating a fanzine that is about football. I have decided to
make a fanzine dedicated to football as it is something I’m passionate about which gives
me more motivation an inspiration to make this project, the zine won’t be a certain club
based as I want it to reach a wider audience so it will be more of a wider audience and
unbiased. I have been researching older and more modern football fanzines and comparing
them, the football zine community and market is quite large so they are obviously quite
popular but there aren’t as many modern style fanzines available for a younger audience
which is what I intend to create. The different pages will include things ranging from
premier league and champions league predictions to interviews with professional
footballers and recaps. Another thing I will have to research are old interviews to find out
what kind of questions the professional journalists ask.
How will the project be evaluated and reviewed: Once I have completed production I will
look back through my work, research and planning and have a look to see what I did well
and what could be improved on. Ill also see if there was any more, I could have done for
research and planning, so I know for my FMP project, roughly how much needs doing.
