- A generic layout with the main image as the clear focal point, and supporting text/elements arranged around it, is preferred. The design shouldn't be too unconventional or distract from the central piece.
Based on this, some ways my product could appeal to this audience include:

- The strengths of the research so far have been gaining solid ideas for the graphic design project through learning about the topic. However, more work could be done, like conducting surveys or including more secondary research.
- An unexpected finding was that most graphic design work is now focused online and through social media, rather than print, which was unexpected but makes sense given technology trends.
- This research will specifically impact the project by helping understand what people like and don't like about different graphic designs through their feedback, to test out designs in experiments before finalizing the project.
The student reflected on their progress in designing a graphic design product targeted at 15-25 year olds. They researched graphic design and photographers to inform their project ideas. Through experimenting with Photoshop tutorials, the student identified computer issues as a potential problem and the importance of regular saving. Later weeks involved collecting graphic design images for inspiration, considering survey feedback, and continuing experiments with different styles to make the final product interesting and engaging.
This document provides a summary of the student's progress and achievements over the first 7 units of their course. It reflects on what they have learned and how their skills have developed. The student plans to create a magazine for their final major project (FMP) based on their interest in print design and magazines from their childhood.

The document summarizes the student's process of creating a fanzine about Frank Ocean through research, planning, time management, and reflection on technical and aesthetic qualities. The student researched Frank Ocean's background and music career online. They planned the fanzine layout, including childhood information and music statistics. Time management was good, though a few planned rotoscopings were cut due to time constraints. The fanzine has a consistent theme with colorful, detailed rotoscoped images of Ocean in circles alongside text.
The document provides details on research conducted on fanzines, including an analysis of existing fanzine products and initial ideas for creating a fanzine about musician Frank Ocean that would utilize rotoscoping techniques to feature cartoon-style images of him.

The document provides an evaluation of the research, planning, and time management stages of a production process for a fashion magazine.
For research, strengths included thorough planning and considering target audiences. Weaknesses were limited mood board images. For planning, strengths were mind maps and audience considerations, while weaknesses included risk of forgetting ideas.
Time management was mixed - the production was completed on time but PowerPoints needed more detail and time. Technical qualities showed similarities between the author's magazine cover and an existing magazine in layout, bold titles, and centered models, but differences in backgrounds and color schemes. Layout of sketches and text on a spread was also similar to an existing magazine.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

The colour scheme with this magazine is
very neutral there isn’t a lot going on. Its
mainly whites on whites with a bold
colour. The bold colour in this one is the
black at the very bottom of the picture.
The white shows elegant and clean
making it fresh to look at. With the black
because its at the bottom of the picture it
doesn’t really stand out it makes the
image clearer and adds more dynamic to
the image then it just being all white.
The model is standing on her side
just showing her clothes, you cant
see a face all you can see is her top
with and a watch that stands out the
most. I feel that this look looks
modern by it being so neutral
because of the way the model is
standing and what’s being shown in
the image.
This magazine is very minimalistic as you can
see because there is only an image and the
name of the magazine which is called “Emily”
with a few more text at the very top of the
page. By it being so plain people may not find
this interested and might not even
acknowledge it if it was in the shops but many
people nowadays like having magazines like
this as a decoration on a table or on a
bookshelf to make it look pretty.
The font for the name of the magazine is
very girly by it being curly which targets
females. It’s very simple looking but still
adds a lot to the page as everything else
is very bland. As you can also see there
isn't anymore text on the page to even
know what the magazine about but the
way this magazine was made is to have no
words and to just show it all by images. I
know this is about fashion as all that is
shows is clothing in the image.
The lighting is very bright making the white stand out, which is good in
this case as there aren't any other colours to make it pop out so by it
having good lighting it makes the colours that are in the image stand
out even more. It looks like the model is next to a window creating a
shadow on the other side of her which makes her clothes stand out as
she's stood in front of a white wall its hard to see white on white but
because the light darkens on the left side of her you can se the clothing
well.
I have chosen this look because I really like
the minimalist look but still looking really
sleek to look at as you can see in this one it
looks very basic but by adding jewellery
and the type of clothing she is wearing
makes it look efficient.

The colour scheme for this is again very
similar to the other one very neutral and
white. This is inside a magazine so you get
information about the magazine and images
to see more of the fashion as that’s what
the magazine is about and that’s what
people are buying them magazine for so
adding a fair amount of images of the
clothes will be helpful.
The colours they have used is base, white and
black. With these colours they compliment
each other well, the black stands out well
making it bold on the page so whatever is in
black stands out the most bringing your eyes to
them areas first to then see what else is there,
which is good to get the audiences attention.
The way the images are all laid out are pleasing to the eyes as they
are places separately rather than it being overlapped and too much
happening making it hard to see what you’re supposed to look at.
You also get to see different sections of the clothing like for example
on the right side of the page you can see in them images the left one
you can see the whole outfit, the one next to it is an photo of a top
and same with the bottom photo. Which is good as it’s a fashion
magazine and are trying to either sell or promote these clothing to
people so by having images of the clothing will help that.
The layout for the for text is
mainly focused on the left
side of the page. Its set up as
a column as that’s more
professional and what a lot of
magazine companies do so its
clearer and just looks better
than it just being in a big
paragraph
The lighting is very bright and clean looking,
making the images easy to see and brings out
the colours in the clothing.
The way the models are stood are all different
making it engaging as you can see in the
images there’s sitting down facing down
looking at the camera or there's stood and
facing sideways they're all different which
makes it exciting and new than it just being the
same pose every time.
I have chosen this because I would
like mine to be clean looking and
not so in your face but still have
parts that stand out and garb their
attention but still looking elegant
and professional. This is why I like
these type of magazines because
they’re so different to other
magazines that you would find in
supermarkets.

The colour scheme to this magazine is
very bright and colourful. The yellow
reminds me of summer like the sun
shining which also brings happiness as
everything is bight and pretty. The color
palette is still neutral but obviously with
the yellow. It also has a different shade
of yellow which is darker looking more
on the orange side but still goes really
well with the cover.
The background has patterns to it to
make it pop. I like this look because it
makes the cover unique making it
stand out than it just having a solid
colour of yellow then a picture. So by
it having dots it makes the magazine
have more to it which is great when it
comes to selling products like this for
example.
The photo is nice and clear can see a
female with sunglasses on. The
background of the photo and the
photo in general is bright and clean
looking making it fit well with the
theme of the magazine as it’s white so
it’s not clashing or anything with the
cover.
The layout is unique, not a lot of magazines
have this type of style to it. The layout is
mostly focused on the right side of the page
but still making you look around the entire
page. So the main picture is on the right on
top of the coloured background which
automatically makes our eyes go there first
as there’s colour and a build up to a image.
The text is focused on the left has the issue
at the top left side and the name of the
magazine on the bottom in bold making it
standout but not taking over the rest if the
cover.
The font on the cover is quite similar
it’s in capitals which makes it easy to
read, the only font that’s different is
the name of the magazine which isn't
in capitals but is in bold still easy to
read as its bigger and the font isn't
the type where you cant read.
I have chosen this because I would like mine to be similar in a way,
that being mainly white with a pop of colour but still being subtle so
nothing too much. I think by it having a pop off colour than it just
being all white it might not attract or even get anyone attention
when my audience are shopping which isn't what I’m wanting. What
I’m wanting is something that look minimalistic with a subtle pop of
colour and it looking Professional so people can have it put for a
decoration.

The colour scheme for the magazine is very
neutral not a lot of colour on it it’s mainly
monochrome colours and like the other
magazine on the slide before this one is
similar with the pop of colour however with
this one it’s very little colour and its more
on the background. It’s yellow dots which is
on the far let side of the page at the
bottom. I really like this look because even
though the rest is bland I'm still intrigued by
it and then having the yellow dots it makes
it pop in a very unique look compared to
other magazines that exist.
The layout for this magazine is unique but basic at the same time. What I mean by
this is that there’s a image in the centre of the page as normal and the name of
the magazine at the top, has information of the magazine at the bottom of the
page and then the different part to it is the yellow dots. Its different because not
many magazines that you look at don’t have dots on them they like to keep it
looking clean and professional however I feel that it adds more then it just being
black and white. Another thing with the dots some are behind the image of the
model and then has text on top so its not just a pop of colour there’s other stuff
going on with it.
This will appeal to my audience because
it’s different to other magazines that
already exist. I think having new layouts it
make the buyers be interested and not just
buying the same magazine every time
when they go shopping. It’s fresh and new
which people love.
The font is again in capitals so it’s
clear to see as there’s no fancy font
to it its very simple but still looking
professional, fitting to the magazine
well. I think the font is the same for
all the text there’s only a couple of
text that’s in bold which is the word
‘YOUTH’ and the name of the
magazine ‘MOZI’ which are
suggesting important parts to the
magazine as they’re in bold.
The image of the model is focused on her
top half all you can see is her face, her
hair and a bit of her clothing. The model
also looks like she’s outside which shows
good lighting, however the image is in
black and white so it doesn’t really
matter that its got the best lighting just
as long the face is clear and its too dark
to see the models face. The way the
model is standing is forward facing the
audience which is good as you can see
her although her hair is covering half her
face you can still see her. With the
models clothing you can’t really see a lot
of it, you can only really see the shoulder
part which has shoulder epaulettes with
pearls on them which shows a girly
statement to the clothing item.
6. Research Analysis
• What common features do the researched
products have?
– The most common feature for all the images I chose are very minimalistic
style to them. The clear and fresh look there’s not a lot of colour on them or
any at all but I would like to include a bit of colour like a patterned
background in a corner which is a colour. Another common feature that has
appeared a couple of times is the font they are all bold and in capitals so its
easy to see so might consider that when it comes to making it.
– What aspects of the research will you include within
your own production work?
– I would like to include the pop of colour to my magazine while keeping
everything else simple looking which will make the colours pop even more.
Another aspect I would like to include is the font style I have kind of seen
something I like which I have included in my initial plans PowerPoint but if
that one doesn’t work I can use a similar font to the ones I have seen in the
last couples of slides which is bold and in capitals.

16. • What I have learnt from getting peoples responses to my questions is that most of them like to buy their
clothes from online as they like ordering items from their homes as they find it easier and less stressful.
Only one person said they lie going into the shops to buy things as she likes to try the items on before
buying as she finds returning items annoying and doesn’t like waiting for the items to come to her house
and if she returned the items doesn’t like waiting for the refund.
• There’s a mixture of opinions for buying clothes often half of them said they get bored of the same
clothes and just like shopping as they find it fun. Where the other two wouldn’t mind buying clothes often
but they either cant afford it or don’t mind wearing the same clothes over and over again as they can
change it up with different shoes etc.
• For the next question if they took it seriously or not and it was on the side of not taking it seriously like
one of them said she likes to look good but doesn’t take it seriously then the others said they just like to
wear things that are comfortable.
• For following the trend most people don’t they like to buy things that they like and if that’s what its in the
trend then they’ll buy it but not because its in trend because they like it.
• With buying expensive clothing majority of them don’t they like to buy tings that are cheap as most of the
clothing that’s cheap are similar to the other clothing that are expensive.
• With reading magazine non of them do now but they use to when thy were younger as they were a lot
more popular than they are now as everything is no on phones so they find new fashion items on either
the clothing websites they like or on Instagram.
• With them caring about what other people wear, they don’t they think everyone is different so they’re
obviously going to wear something different to everyone else.

• Zara
• Zara is a clothing retail and it was founded by Amancio Ortega in 1963 in Spain.
Harass about 2000 branches around the world. it offers a wide range of choices:
the collection for women, men and children. Signs are open in the inner part of
the cities to compete with expensive brands. stores are proper names, there are
no deductibles Zara. their shops are stocked twice a week, which creates a certain
image of scarcity that should attract customers. Zara cannot afford to operate in an
extremely competitive market, so it must offer products of superior range by
responding to customers requirements and desires. the deductibles is important
because it represents up to half the cost of the product, which means that the
competition advantage is created by low distribution cost.

Here you can see me experimenting with the camera in the
studio seeing what looks good with what I am wanting to try
out. What I ended up doing which you will see in the other
slides under this one was very simple but what I am wanting
to do in Photoshop will make it look less boring. This is in the
studio room as I’m wanting to do my photos in the studio
because it will be clear and professional as it’s for a
magazine to make it look realistic it wouldn’t look so good if I
didn’t have the correct lighting and equipment it wouldn't
look professional and wouldn’t turn out the way I imagine it.
Its been useful learning the parts on the camera as I can find
out new settings and other things to make my work look the
best it can be especially doing these experiments they help
so much as you are finding out new things before you
actually do your final project.
22. Practical Research
How I did my experiment:
- As you saw in the slide before this one you can see I was in the studio taking photos of
my model. I went with this image on the left because before I took the images I
remember watching a while ago a Photoshop tutorial where you get a image of
mountains and put that as their face so I wanted my model to face side ways.
- I went onto Photoshop after I took the photos and clicked open and selected the image I
wanted which is this one I edited. I wanted to make it black and white, when I did that I
realised that it was very bright o I made the lighting brighter and then made the
background even lighter to make that clearer.
- After I did that I clicked on open object and it went onto Photoshop and that’s where I
started to follow the tutorial.
- When I started the tutorial I realised that I didn’t need to have the model in black and
white however I liked the look of it and I learnt how to make a image brighter and
specific parts without changing everything in the photo.
23. Practical Research
So when I started to watch the tutorial the first part it told me to select the model and then click quick selection tool
and drew around the part of the model I wanted which was just the head. After I did that I right clicked on the mouse
then went to feather and changed it to 0.5. I then made a new layer so it’s just the head alone and then delete the
other layer as I didn’t need that one anymore as I only needed the head. I then clicked adjustments and chose solid
colour to make it white I then moved that to the model layer so now there’s a white background behind the model. I
then got told by the tutorial to select the model layer then go up to the top and click image, adjustments and then
desaturate, which turned the image black and white.
After I have done all that, that’s when I brought in the next image of a mountain which I got off Google. I turned down
the opacity to 50% for the mountain so I can see the models face underneath to see where I wanted the mountains to
fit on my models face. When I got the mountain where I wanted it, I clicked on the models layer and clicked control to
select the model so you can see the cut out I made at the start. I then put a layer mask on the mountains layer which
then changes my models head to the picture of just the mountain. I turned the opacity down to 50% and then clicked
on layer mask and the pencil tool and removed a bit off the mountain of the models face on the bits I would like to be
seen which was the eyes, noses and lips. I then created a copy of the model layer and clicked on its blending mode
and changed it to lighten which made the mountain come back on the models head and created a cool look as you
can see on the top right picture. After I have done that I select background layer and got a sample of the colour that
goes well with the image which you will see on the next slide. I kept the the opacity low so you can see the features of
the model still.

Unedited
Edited
This is the final product, there’s a few parts in the
video that I couldn’t really do or the video didn’t
really explain it very well so I just either missed that
step or worked around it. I actually missed a little
from the video as I preferred what I did as I liked the
faded look of the mountains instead of it being very
intense when looking at the image.
This is the untouched one taking the image
from the studio and then putting it on the
PowerPoint. I didn’t change anything on
the model as you can see from the edited
one.

Undertaking practical research is another great way to improve your project. Experimenting with techniques, equipment and processes you might want to use in you project will help you plan for the future.
Think about what you will research. It could be studio photography, or sound recording, or post-production techniques for video or animation techniques for a video game. Tutorials are useful here.
Make something similar but unrelated to your chosen idea.
Do not make it a version of your final product; it is an experiment
Provide a reflection of the processes you used and how it has been useful.
Don’t do something that you already know how to do.
