5. Content
Content How You Could Get It
Technology used for the front
cover and inside spread
I’ll take pictures of said technology using my Fujifilm
XT3, as to best fit the layout of my design
I may need some secondary
information to back up my
articles
I shall merely find other magazines with reviews of
the same tech and or find such information around
many of googles tech based websites
Images which can’t be
replicated using photoshop
alone
Using Google images, I can implement the assets
into my layout
e.g. from logos to barcodes

6. Contingency Planning
Potential Issue Solution
Loss of valuable footage and or written work. Backup work on multiple platforms.
I may happen to work on a computer which isn’t
installed with the software I need to edit.
Simply move to a different computer, which does
have the software I require.
I may make a stupid mistake whilst editing my
images
Continuously save work whilst editing to make
sure that its still salvageable, or use the step
backwards command to revert the error.
The computer could crash due to the amount of
software being used to work on.
Always save work multiple times in multiple
locations, e.g. send it to yourself.
Some images may not be accessible when
editing in photoshop.
Create the images using the software provided, it
may take longer but you can create it to your
exact specifications.

7. Health and Safety
Potential Issue How will the issue be
avoided?
I may corrupt my work due to spillages of food
or drink on my storage hardware, which would
also most certainly damage the computer
Don’t drink or eat near such vulnerable
technology and always save work in multiple
locations to resolve the issue before it even
occurs
Eye strain may occur from looking at a screen
for far too long
Take a break away from the screen once in a
while, or else it could lead to permanent eye
problems
Back strain is a possible issue from sitting on a
chair for too long
Stand up, stretch and get some much needed
mobility exercises, or else this cloud also lead to
permanent damage
Hands could possibly begin to ache in pain
from typing up documents for too long
Take a break away from the keyboard and
stretch your hands, otherwise arthritis could be
a serious potential issue in later life
Equipment could be easily damaged from a
small distance drop to the floor
Make sure to take extra care when handling
such costly equipment and if it can be
prevented before hand, take that precaution
e.g. if your camera has a strap, wear it
