Pre Production for my print project

2. Style sheet
I will use red
throughout my
magazine as my
research suggests
it is eye-catching
to most
demographics as it
can be found in
magazines of
many different
genres. I will
mainly be using it
to highlight
important things
e.g. car names.
I will mainly be using photos
of cars in my magazine as they
are the main focus and
therefore I don’t want to take
away from that by including
images of other things too
much, if at all. Using
Photoshop, I will erase the
background from the images,
leaving only the cars. This will
prevent them from taking up
unnecessary space as well as
giving the image a crisper feel.
I will take photos of the cars
myself to include in the
magazine.
I will use yellow to
highlight the names of
any people of interest
e.g. interviewees,
celebrities. To ensure
the yellow stands out it
will only be used on
against darker
background colours.
The yellow, much like
the red, will help to
show off the important
text whilst seperating it
from the red coloured
words.

3. Style Sheet
I will use an action shot
of a car/cars as a
background for my
cover, as this will not
only give the reader an
immediate idea of what
to expect from the
magazine, but will also
create a sense of
excitement for the
magazine, enticing
people to buy it.
Use of celebrity images will entice
people to read the magazine to
see their thoughts. Furthermore,
using celebrity images will allow
me to advertise things such as
exclusive interviews on the cover,
further enticing people. The
images will be used in smaller
proportion on the cover and will
take up the majority of a page on
the double page spread.

4. Front Cover LayoutImage of car gives
reader an idea as to
what’s inside
Action shot of car as
background gives the
magazine an exciting
feel
Bar-code gives the
magazine some
authenticity
Red used frequently to
make the cover as eye-
catching as possible
White background
behind title helps it
stand out and
prevents cover from
seeming cluttered.
Also creates a gap
between action shot
of car and smaller
image above.
