1. Idea 4 – Knitting Magazine
Tell me in no more than20 words, what is your
FMP idea?
I would create a knittingmagazinethat teaches
people aboutknittingandshows my projects.
Why have youdecided to makeit? I want to expandon my graphic design portfolio
andtry more uniquedesign ideas. I have also
startedknitting andthoughtit wouldbe the best
topic for a magazineas I am passionateaboutthe
topic.
What aboutyourproject makesit importantto
you?
As this is the last project, I want to be bolder with
the design choices so havinga magazineabouta
creative hobby meansI can be creative with the
designs.
Outline someof the initial influences onyour
idea/work and somepotential research targets
(remember, research isn’t justa paper-based
activity)
One of the main influences on why I started
knittingwas because of Tom Daley which would
be a good topicfor my research as he is becoming
well-knownfor his knitting. I also want to research
aboutthe history of knitting.
What effect do youwant to haveon your
audience when they see yourproject?
I want thismagazine to be for anyoneas youcan
start knittingwhenever butI would like this
magazine tohelp normalise men knittingas it is
seen as a female hobby. I hopethis magazine
would inspire people toknit.
Describe the tone/mood/styleofyourproject
[which productiontechniques/characteristicsare
youemploying?]
My style could be crafty and boldas it needs to
reflect the creativity of knitting. I do like the
minimalistic style magazineswhich I could merge
with a wide colour scheme so it hasa balance of
simple butbusy.
Why have youdecided to makeyour project in
this style?
I havedecided to make my project like this as I
want the range of colours to reflect the
colourfulnessof knittingbutalso to showit
knittingcan be simple.
