This document is a project proposal for a wrestling magazine. The student proposes creating a magazine with a front cover featuring an interview subject, along with additional interview pages and merchandise pages. Photography and content will be created by the student, including portraying their own wrestling persona. The magazine will be evaluated on a daily basis by reviewing screenshots of work completed. Research sources will include existing wrestling and sports magazines for layout inspiration. Weekly tasks are outlined, beginning with initial ideas and proposal, followed by research, pre-production planning, production, and concluding with evaluation.

Project proposal title and date:
Off The Script - 1/3/2021
Main area of activity:
Magazine
Rationale:
I’d like to think that my already well-versed skill in working with print media and software such as
photoshop is going to help me massively with this project, as well as having the necessary
equipment for it now that I have successfully charged my camera (after not being able to find the
battery charger for it for a long time). My off days being spent on taking photos and editing them
using software such as Picsart may also help me successfully taking on this project. I feel
comfortable moving forward now that the previous project is out of my way as well.
Project Concept:
The concept of my project is a wrestling magazine fit with a front and back cover, multiple interview
pages based on the star of the cover, and some merchandise pages. This is down to my fairly
extensive knowledge of the art form of wrestling and my current ability with print media production.
The photography and acting is likely to be done by myself actually, as I had the idea of creating my
own wrestling persona to be interviewed, and then I would insert the photos from the shoot as the
insert photos – as well as any supporting images that may be necessary from the internet. The
merch page as an idea exists due to my large portfolio of wrestling t-shirts, video games and
action figures which I figure would be a nice idea to add-on as an additional portion of the project.
Most of the research is likely to be aimed at already existing wrestling and sports magazines, filled
with their covers and insert pages in order for me to get an understanding as to what already
appears on their front covers.
How will the project be evaluated and reviewed:
I plan to give myself a chance to look back at the work I have done throughout each day, taking
screenshots of what I get done and reviewing them overall. I like to take the day-by-day approach
towards self-analysis and review of my work and am excited to eventually do the same with this
project, hopefully leading to further opportunities down the line.
