2. Style sheet
Image Styles: I want to replicate this type of imagery in
my magazine as it’s a picturesque shot and is appealing
to look at.
Fonts: I’m going to use a font like these because
they fit into the sci-fi theme that my magazine is
going for. When making my magazine I am going
to make the dot in the “I” a star.
I’ve chose this colour scheme for my sci-fi
magazine because it’s prominent in the
movies I’ll mention. This colour scheme is
also visually appealing to me so it’d make me
want to read it.

3. Layout 1
Front Cover
I didn’t use the colour scheme I
originally decided in my style
sheet because I thought this was
a more professional looking
front cover. I chose a similar
image style as the one on my
style sheet as the film on my
style sheet and the one on my
potential front cover are similar.
They are similar in material and
they came out at roughly the
same time. I’ve used the same
font as on my style sheet I even
used the star as the dot in the
“I” as I think it’s a good design
and you could plausibly see it on
an actual magazine.

4. Layout 2
Double Page Spread
I used the same colours
as the colour scheme
from my style sheet (blue,
purple and pink). I also
used a similar image style
as the one I did in my
style sheet as one of the
pictures is from the same
movie. The other image is
a modern sci-fi film which
is the type of thing to be
discussed in a modern,
informative magazine.

6. Contingency Planning
Potential Issue Solution
The computers may break down. Find a computer that works or do work that
doesn’t require a computer like researching
magazines.
I could get sick from coronavirus etc. I’d continue my work from home or do it in
college when I feel better.
I might forget to save my work correctly. I would make sure to save and upload multiple
copies of my work and if failing that start over.
The wi-fi might not work so I can’t use
photoshop etc.
Do what work I can and do the rest another
time.
My save file might corrupt. I would email myself a copy of the file in
advance or start from the last save.
Photoshop might not work on my computer. I would use another computer or do the
PowerPoints instead.

7. Health and Safety
Potential Issue How will the issue be
avoided?
I might get eye strain from looking at the
screen.
Taking regular breaks from looking at the
screen.
I might get hand strain from typing. I’ll take breaks from using the mouse and
keyboard.
I might trip over something on the floor. I will make sure there's nothing on the floor
like bags etc.
I might get back/leg cramp from sitting for too
long.
To avoid cramping I will take breaks and walk
around.
I might get the Coronavirus. Wearing masks and regularly sanitising our
hands
I could get a headache or fever from being in a
hot room.
Leave the room during regular breaks to cool
down.
