This document outlines Imogen Minto's pre-production plans for a magazine project. It includes details on text styles, colors, magazine references, layout designs, props and locations needed, contingency planning, health and safety considerations, and an 8-day schedule. The style chosen was meant to look handwritten like a magazine title. Colors of neutrals, pinks, and purples were selected to evoke a sunset scene related to the city theme. Reference magazines with city street photos were analyzed. Layout designs included barcodes and release dates. No props were needed beyond Photoshop. Potential issues like software crashes, injuries, or illness were addressed with backup plans.

3. Text style
• The reason why I have chosen theses text
styles because with the word ‘Follow’ I
wanted the type of style to look like the
someone wrote it. I think that ‘Follow’ looked
better for the title of the magazine as it stands
out specially with this one.
I like this one the most because it looks more
like the font you see on magazines.

4. Colours
• The colours I have chosen are theses colours
because I think that the neutrals and the pinks
and purples go well together. I chose the pink
and purple colours because it’s like a sunset
and I feel like it will go well in the magazine
and it kind of related to the city as it’s outside
and the sun sets and rises.

5. Magazines
• I chose theses magazines as the project we are
doing is about magazines, i chose to do a film
magazine so with the magazines I chose has a city
picture on it which I’m wanting to go with so they
know its about a city. I feel the one with the red
writing on it shows more of what I’m wanting to
go with as it shows more of a street of the city
with a tall building in the background giving it
more of an interesting look towards it when
looking at it and gives away that it’s a city.

9. Contingency Planning
Potential Issue Solution
Photoshop might crash while doing something
important.
Make sure to keep saving the work and back it
up often just in case anything happens.
Could possibly get backache from sitting on a
chair for too long or it being not right for your
back that might cause it.
Keep taking breaks every so often so you r back
doesn’t hurt or can change the way you are sat
so it reduces the pain.
Get eye strain from looking at the screen for
too long.
Take a break from looking at the screen can
also reduce the brightness.
Can possibly get ill, causing delay on your work. Make sure to drink as much as possible also to
look after yourself by taking care of yourself to
stop that from happening.

10. Health and Safety
Potential Issue How will the issue be
avoided?
Can cause problems from not adjusting your
chair correctly.
Make sure to adjust your chair to the right
height and the way you're sat on it so it will
stop you from getting a bad back.
For looking at a screen for too long can get eye
