my pre production

1. Pre-Production
Georgia

2. Style sheet
I picked these colours because they represent the target audience
and they will make the magazine stand out amongst all the other
ones. I will use some of these colour schemes on my front cover,
article and contents page because it will make the text stand out in
bold colours amongst the background. The colours complement each
other well and they are all aesthetically pleasing to the eye and can
attract the target audience’s eye.

3. Style sheet
I picked out these fonts in particular because it fits the theme of the
game which is mixed with retro and snow and this is what I am trying
to advertise to the target audience. I think that my target audience
might like them because they will stand out and catch their eye. The
fonts fit my theme because I am going for a winter, snow theme to
promote/advertise my game.

4. Style sheet
I chose these images in particular because I want my magazine to
have retro features implanted inside and outside. Also, you can see a
winter themed retro themed magazine for gaming which is what I
want to create. The colour scheme makes the magazine stand out
and attract the target audience (all ages and genders) attention. I will
be adding pictures and giveaways like these other magazines.

9. Contingency Planning
Potential Issue Solution
Computer crashes. Save every 5 minutes to ensure your work is
safe or keep a memory stick with you so you
can save your work and access it anywhere.
Photoshop isn’t working. Restart your laptop or computer to make it
work again.
The image cutting goes wrong. Make sure you unlock the layer before you cut
out the image with the wand tool or download
a PNG image of what you are downloading.
Colouring the image. To fill in the background, use the paint
bucket tool to make it all filled in, along with
images to save the colouring in.
Can’t download fonts. Go to dafont.com, 1001fonts.com to download
fonts as a zip file and then extract them by
double clicking. Then open ‘Fontbook’ on your
laptop or computer and upload it on there.
Not the same colour. On the colour picker, use the tool to hover over
a specific colour you would like and click on it
so it can be used.

avoided?
Laptop overheats Check if everything is plugged in correctly and
let it cool down for a bit before continuing
