Aaron Johnson created a magazine about a football team called Goal Sports. Gathering photos of matches was the most difficult part of the process. He attended two matches to get photos of the team, individual players, and action shots. Aaron was pleased with the photos he collected. For the front cover, Aaron designed a simple layout with the team name in a football. He changed the original blue color to a darker purple that matched the team's kit. Aaron's double page spreads included a team photo with player names, player quotes and a starting lineup. His third double page spread used Photoshop for image effects before importing to InDesign. The back cover kept a plain design with the team logo, awards, and social media links

2. Process- Gathering photos
• Gathering photos for my magazine was
the hardest part of creating the
magazine. Due to the photos being the
most important part about my magazine
I had to attend multiple football matches
before I was content on the photos to
use in my magazine.
• The three photos I have shown you is just
a few of the chosen ones from the many
I got. The team photo and the photo of
the individual player (Ben) were taken on
the first game and the action shot on the
second game I attended.
• Luckily I was pleased with the photos I
had gathered therefore I didn’t have to
attend another match and thankfully the
weather was nice on both days when I
was taking the photos.

3. Process- Front Cover
• My front cover process of my work included coming up with
basic layout design. For this I had to figure out how
everything was going placed on the page to make it look
presentable and nice.
• For my front cover design I wanted to keep plain and simple
as I feel that it is a nice way to catch peoples attention
because it doesn’t look like your trying to hard to sell your
product as when company’s do this it starts to look messy.
• As you can see from my practice magazine I stuck to the
layout design I had originally indented to use and I felt it
looked a bit plain and simple, there wasn’t really a contrast
within any of the colours. The purple and white I didn’t
mind but the blue I felt just didn’t work well.
• As you can see my final front cover design was still a similar
layout to my original design but the colours had been
changed. I had chosen to go with a darker purple as it
matches nicely with the football kit Goal Sports play in.
• I got my inspiration for the image inside a football when
looking at a sports magazine from the early 90’s and I was
very happy with how that turned out and how the image
sits behind it clearly.
• Overall I'm very pleased with my front cover design and feel
it may be the best part of my magazine.

4. Process- DPS 1
• My first double page spread to go inside my
magazine is going to be a team photo. As you
can see the bottom photo was my plan on how I
wanted my page to look and the top photo is
the final design.
• For the bottom plan I had planned to get a team
photo and write about the team on one page
and then show the teams form throughout the
season and the final league table on the other
page. However I couldn’t get the final league
table or a result of the form throughout the
season.
• Then I had the idea that I would just do a page
introducing people to the players, as you can
see I got a team photo and listed the players
names underneath the photo whilst adding a
the clubs logo onto every page.
• I’m happy with the colour scheme I have got
and feel that the colours contrast well together.

5. Process- DPS 2
• My second page of my magazine is a fun page that
I've added like a feature to my magazine called
“Quote that!”. This is like a segment that if I was to
release a weekly magazine this would be it.
• As you can see I didn’t really stay with the practice
layout of this magazine due to I felt the practice
design was a little to plain and simple. I decided to
add a few photos of the players who said the quotes
to make the page more interesting.
• On the other side of the page I decided to create a
starting XI to show readers what the positions
players in the team play and their names so that fans
can get used to the players names and their
positions.
• I like the overall layout of the images and the effect I
used to create a drop shadow affect and tilted them.
• I feel that the football pitch looks really nice next to
the images and both pages contrast well together.

6. Process-DPS 3
• For this page of my magazine I had to create my
original design in Photoshop. I Did the layout and
effects of the images in Photoshop because it
was easier to do it this way rather than in
InDesign. I then had to create text boxes and
then important the text from Photoshop into
InDesign.
• I decided to go with a white background and
purple text because this page is a advertisement
page and I feel with the change of colour layout
it will make this page stand out more than other
pages in the magazine.

7. Back Cover
• The back cover of the magazine is very plain
and simplistic .
• My reason for making the magazine so plain at
the back is that all I wanted to do was place the
clubs logo, make it clear to see who's magazine
it is and praise the top scorer and player of the
year. I also decided to add the social media
sites which Goal Sports are on so that people
who read the magazine can follow the team on
them sites.
