3. Deadlines
The deadline I set for the magazine to be completed by is 01/01/2019.
This is so that there is enough time for the printers to print and for the
magazine to be distributed by 05/01/2019.
This also means that the magazine is distributed in time for the new
year. It will encourage initial sales as most people will think of a new
magazine for the new year.

4. Post-Production Skills – Front Cover
Open Photoshop, use international paper template, must set the background to
white in order to edit it later, cmd = R brings up the rulers, click and drag from the
ruler edge to make guidelines to set up the page and have bleed lines.
Insert the image from my user area, remove the “green screen” background by
clicking on the heading ‘select’ and clicking on colour range, then selecting the
green parts of the image, then clicking OK. This removes the green parts of the
image.
The masthead was created with a font downloaded from dafont.com. This was
placed rotated 90º on the right hand side of the magazine cover. Some of this
covered the main image.
The background was created by inserting a .png image of palm trees over the white
reducing the opacity and creating a gradient over the top from red through orange
to turquoise.

5. Post-Production Skills – Front Cover
The cover lines were created through the use of the text tool, here there is the
option to edit the font through the character tab. This can change the height, width
and style. Through holding alt and dragging the text away, I created a duplicate of
that text, this ensured that the text is the same throughout the cover.
To make the puff promotion I used the eclipse tool and held shift as I dragged
outwards this kept the perfect circular shape. I used the fill bucket to make the
circle red. I placed this in the bottom right hand corner to keep similar to the red
gradient at the top. I added the text the same way as the cover lines. The text was
aligned central.
The barcode was added through a .png image of a barcode, I added the date and
issue the same was as the cover lines. The social media logos were .png’s found on
the internet, I used the fill bucket to change the colour of the blue for Facebook
and yellow for Snapchat to make this red, keeping in the similar as the puff
promotion. The Instagram logo was made red through a colour overlay.

6. Post-Production Skills – DPS
Open Photoshop, use international paper template, change the width to 420
pixels, must set the background to white in order to edit it later, cmd = R
brings up the rulers, click and drag from the ruler edge to make guidelines to
set up the pages and have bleed lines.
Insert the image from my user area, remove the “green screen” background
by clicking on the heading ‘select’ and clicking on colour range, then
selecting the green parts of the image, then clicking OK. This removes the
green parts of the image.
The background was created with a gradient from pink to red and purple to
blue.
The text was added with the text tool and this was edited to show the
difference in who was speaking, to establish the stand first and the pull
quote, and page numbers.

7. Post-Production Skills – Back Cover
Open Photoshop, use international paper template, must set the
background to white in order to edit it later, cmd = R brings up the
rulers, click and drag from the ruler edge to make guidelines to set up
the page and have bleed lines.
The background was created by inserting a .png image of palm trees
over the white reducing the opacity and creating a gradient over the
top from red through orange to turquoise.
I added the quote from Selena Gomez using the text tool, through
holding alt and dragging the text away, I created a duplicate of that
text, this ensured that the text is the same throughout the cover.

8. Safe Working Practices
When using Adobe Photoshop, it is necessary to use multiple tools to
ensure that the images created is of the highest quality.
One way to do this is when resizing an image, the shift button must be
held as the image is clicked and dragged to change the size.
Another way is using the eyedropper tool to choose the exact same
colour of text, image or any other colour. This keeps the colours
consistent and keeps the house styles the same as well.

9. Proof Reading and Sub-Editing
In order for the DPS article to have no silly spelling, punctuation or
grammar mistakes. I typed it all up on the Microsoft Word, and utilised
the spell check function which checks all of the possible grammatical
mistakes. There is an example shown in the screen shots below.

10. House Style
This will be similar to Billboard, keeping the masthead and cover lines
black and white and including colours in the background to highlight
the image further.
The black and white shows the simplicity and sophistication levels of
the magazine. This is because black and white together connote a
sense of pure strength. This will relate to the power ‘Musique’ will have
in the music magazine industry.
The other colours will be bright to show and highlight the importance
of each feature of the magazine. This could be a colourful image, to
show that this image will be important and relate to the text
surrounding it.

11. Font Styles
I will get the magazine’s fonts from www.dafont.com because the
website allows fonts to be downloaded and used.
The font I will use is ‘Couture Bold’. This is because it looks similar to
my inspiration magazine and is clear to see what the magazine is called.
This allows for easy reading of the name and masthead.

13. Witness Statement

14. Conclusion
This document has evidenced the ability I have to edit the photos in
order to produce a final magazine front cover, DPS and back cover. The
post production plan is how I created the covers and DPS. Using
different tools and skills that have been highlighted throughout this
presentation.

15. Survey Monkey Evidence
https://www.surveymonkey.com/analyze/Vy5C
_2FntC2WMR2UPJoSkiD_2FVXzmAbm_2BhM2
kOJXza3C28_3D
Overall the majority of
people thought that my
pitch was rated at a 8/10.
This could be improved as
shown in the next slide.

16. Survey Monkey Evidence
https://www.surveymonkey.com/analyze/Vy5C
_2FntC2WMR2UPJoSkiD_2FVXzmAbm_2BhM2
kOJXza3C28_3D
One way that the pitch
could be improved is
through going into more
detail. This is because I was
mainly reading off of slides
and did not, therefore
provide enough detail of
the target audience.
Another way was through
changing my speech clarity
and speed of pace.

17. Survey Monkey Evidence
https://www.surveymonkey.com/analyze/Vy5C
_2FntC2WMR2UPJoSkiD_2FVXzmAbm_2BhM2
kOJXza3C28_3D
The front cover had some
changes that could be
made.
The main idea was to add
more to the cover lines and
make them stand out
more, in a neater way.

18. Survey Monkey Evidence

_2FntC2WMR2UPJoSkiD_2FVXzmAbm_2BhM2

The DPS had some changes
that could be made.
The suggestions were to
add more text and content
on both pages and allow
the page to have little
white space.

19. Survey Monkey Evidence
https://www.surveymonkey.com/analyze/Vy5C
_2FntC2WMR2UPJoSkiD_2FVXzmAbm_2BhM2
kOJXza3C28_3D
The back cover had some
changes that could be
made.
The idea that stood out to
me was to make the back
page a promotion. This
would add more to the
page than just a quote.

20. Pitch Improvements
I made some improvements from the feedback I was given from my
pitch. The following slides show the changes made to the front cover,
DPS and back cover. The changes have made the magazine include
conventions to entice the audience to read the magazine. The size and
positioning of the cover lines also help to achieve this.
The DPS also looks a lot better as the text is distributed in a way that
looks easier to read as an interview rather than a large block of text.
The back cover is an advert now, this is due to that fact that most
magazine back pages are advertisements for something rather than a
quote from the main celebrities.

Production Plan for Chosen Magazine

26. Calendar Events
• The magazine will be distributed on the first and third Saturday of the
month, encouraging consistency as there will be at least three
Saturdays in each month and this means that there will be
• Release date January 2019, this provides a new feel of the magazine
and also means that there can be a feature page of predictions of the
new year in pop music. This magazine will also gain more sales as
people generally have the “new year, new me” idea of the following
year. This can mean that people want to know more about pop music
in 2019 and so they will buy the magazine.

27. Watermarking
Digital watermarking is a way to indicate who the creation is owned by
and can track any copyright infringements. It is hidden within the
product when the creation is digitally produced.

28. Copyright and IP
IP is Intellectual Property and protected by law, this includes copyright. It gives the
creators the rights to the property of their creation, and creates economic incentive
for creators as they profit from their creation when they sell it to another owner.

“the legal right to control the production and selling of a book, play, film,
photograph, or piece of music”
Copyright is a automatic legal right that protects pieces of work for a certain
amount of years. In Q, this could be the images in the magazine, the written words
of the articles, the design and strapline of the magazine.
A royalty payment is made by someone in order to gain the right for ongoing use of
that copyrighted work. They are usually an agreed percentage of the gross revenue
created after the copyrighted work is used.
