magazine initial plans

1. Initial Plans
Your Name

2. Initial Reaction
My first thought was that I have made a magazine before so I started to think of what ideas
I could use from my last product in this one, for example certain colour schemes that I
used, fonts and the amount of pictures I have compared to text. My picture to text ratio will
be important because I think I’m better at writing large amount of text on certain topics,
meaning I will have to base my design and theme around a topic I can talk a lot about
because I want my magazine to be mainly an informative magazine rather then
amusement. However on my cover I will make it so that I have an equal amount of text and
pictures so that my product appeals to a much wider audience.

9. Mood Board Analysis
Is there any repetition in the images you have collected? Repeated
colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood- the majority of images that I
have collected for my mood bored have vibrant colours to help make
their products or certain features stand out. The images of existing
products that I have collected have all got different layouts, different
styles of layouts and different fonts to help change the mood and
style of the magazine.
How will your mood board influence your final product?- my mood
bored will effect how I lay out my product and will effect the style of
my magazine because I have now discovered that my target audience
will be more attracted to a wide range of different vibrant colours.
