The magazine title "WSFC Soccer" was chosen to attract sporty students. A serious-faced soccer player was used on the cover to represent the sport being taken seriously. Different colored fonts and boxes were used to draw attention, such as using red font to represent a rivalry. The types of stories were all soccer-related. Photoshop was used to help with layout and produce a professional cover and contents page. Blogging helped track research and present work clearly.

1. How did you
attract/address
your audience?

2. The title of the magazine
• We chose the title of the magazine ‘WSFC
Soccer’ because it connotes football and
sport this attracts the target audience which
is ‘sporty’ students.
• The title is white with a bold font which
makes it stands out. To get this font we
analysed several male magazines and got the
final design from the copy of top gear
magazine.

3. Cover star
• The Cover star we used had a serious
expression on his face to connote that football
is a serious sport that is taken serious by the
college. The model was a footballer for the
teams academy so it was a good
representation for the magazine. The clothes
we chose were not part of the football
academy to show that the players were
students aswell.

4. Other Fonts and colours
• We used other coloured fonts in our magazine
such as when there was an article about a red
card the article was in a red box suggesting
the red car. Also when writing about the game
vs. Worcester tech, the Tech was in red to
represent the rivalry between the colleges.
• We used a few reverse coverlines also to catch
the readers attention.

5. The Types of Stories
• The types of stories were all football related
i.e. The story about the red card and the
disappointment after a bad performance.

6. What have you learnt about
technologies from the
process of constructing this
product?

7. New Technology
• The new technology we used is Photoshop it
enabled me to achieve my task by easily helping
layout my magazine.
• It is a lot easier to produce a professional front
cover and contents using digital technology
because of how advanced it is rather than before
the digital age because it would have been a lot
more complicated as you would have to use
layers of paper etc in order for it to be a
magazine.

8. What Technologies did you used?
• I used The Internet, Digital SLR camera and
Photoshop to help me make a quality looking
front cover and contents page.
• The internet was useful because it helped me
with my research for the magazine.
• Using the Digital SLR camera helped me achieve
the specific shots needed in order for it to
correspond with the genre of the magazine.
• Photoshop was helpful because it supplied a
quality finish to the work.

9. Effects I Used

10. I used a change of gradient on
the pictures in order for it to look
more effective and high standard.
I also changed the style and made
the cover more ‘posterized’
which gave it a original look and
made it stand out.

11. Blogging
• Blogging helped me keep track of my research
and what I learnt in class it also presented my
work clearly and what I planned accurately.
• I would use blogger again and I think its a
good way of organising work and presenting it
well so people can read it and skip to different
titles instead of reading the whole blog.

12. Did the Technology Help?
• The Technology did help me with my work
because it was more efficient and using digital
technology at times was confusing as there
was a lot of features that I had never used
before. Also Blogger was a great help in
producing and presenting the work and
research for the preliminary project.
