The document discusses pre-production planning for a magazine. It chooses simple fonts that are not too fancy or busy for the title and text. Example magazines with straightforward designs centered around simple bold fonts are referenced. The colors chosen are bright and complementary. Software like Photoshop and resources like a PC, keyboard, mouse, and internet access are needed. Contingency plans address potential issues like equipment problems or lost work. Health and safety concerns around eye strain, back pain, and tripping are considered. An 8-task schedule is outlined to produce the cover and interior pages.

1. Pre-Production
Ellie Warmingham

2. Style sheet
I chose some simple fonts that could be used as
the title and the text in the magazine. I didn’t want
them to look too fancy or complicated because it
might distract the viewer or look too busy. The
magazine examples I chose are close to what I
want to achieve. They have fairly straightforward
designs which have the characters in the middle
and a simple, bold font for the text. It’s clear and
easy to read which is what I want to aim for. The
colours are bright and go well together, so I can
focus on using this colour palette when I make my
magazine.
