4. Deadlines-Production Plan for Sound magazine
I had to make sure when creating a production schedule that everyday I have specific
instructions in order to create the magazine. When creating this, I had to think about
how long it would take and the date which it is due.
Pre-Production:
When creating the pre production, there are some important deadlines that I had to make
sure that I met. This would include the interview between the artist and the
photographer. while thinking of the last date that the magazine will be released, I had to
also think about when It would be published to the public.
Pre-Production:
With the pre-production, I had to complete any
editing and final touches to my final magazine
front cover and double page spread. I included
Production:
There are multiple deadlines that I included within the production of the magazine, I have also
gathered information and the images such as famous artists that will be featured within the
magazine. The production deadline is 28th July.
5.
6. Mood board Conclusion
When creating this mood, I have chosen
inspiring images from particular artists and
social media such as Instagram and Facebook to
display them in the magazine I create. My
magazine will have synergy with Facebook. This
will give the reader a brief idea of what kind of
things will be featured in the magazine and what
the articles/interviews will talk about.
7. Magazine Masthead/logo
When creating my masthead/logo for the magazine, I have done this in order for readers to
know what the magazine is called and what logo is used to represent it. Furthermore, I
needed to make sure that logo was similar to my magazine of inspiration which is Q to
show readers it was my inspired magazine. I have used the colours red, blue, white and
black which is similar to Q magazine as I want to base the magazine through Q magazine.
The colour black connotes mystery and darkness, this will make the readers interested
because it gives it a sense of mystery when reading my magazine. The colour red connotes
excitement as the readers won’t expect what is going to be in the magazine.
House style consistency- While looking for fonts and colour choices of the magazine, I
have decided to constantly use different features by using different types of fonts that I
have chosen. I have also decided to place the logo on each page to show that the
magazine is consistent throughout. I will be doing this so readers will find the magazine
appealing and will know the brand.
8. Final Masthead decision
This is my final masthead decision, I have included the slogan, Logo and included
the colours.
10. House Style of the magazine
When creating house style for Sound I thought it was important to include the details
of the house styles and colours in which I will use on my magazine. In each of my
proposals there was an outline on what is going to be included in the magazine and
the features such as colour schemes and logos.
Colour scheme
For Sound magazine, the house style is the colour
scheme. They have chosen the colours to be bright
dark red, black and blue. The red will connote to the
readers that I am taking ideas from my magazine of
inspiration and also the how professional they have
laid out the magazine. the colour scheme will be
continued on every page of the magazine.
Masthead
When deciding on the
masthead for my magazine
sound, I thought I would have it
similar to the colour scheme
and similar to my magazine of
inspiration which is Q magazine
and I will also use similar
colours to Q such as the colour
red. I will use other colours like
black and blue to create my
masthead. I will use effects
such as make the masthead
stand out and look professional
in my magazine.
11. House Style of the magazine
Synergy with social media
I am going to be using synergy with other social media products within Sound
magazine for example I am going to promote the magazine on facebook and
twitter so readers can be updated when the magazine is going to be published and
who it is going to feature.
Strapline language
The strapline language for Sound magazine is “Uk’s future magazine” this will
encourage readers towards the magazine as it promotes the magazine’s title. This will
therefore attract readers as it is going to be promoted as a future magazine.
12. Mind Map-Final Idea
Generation of
Ideas
Colour scheme-the colour’s of Q magazine consist
of red, blue, white and black. The colour red
connotes excitement and mystery, this would
demonstrate that the magazine would encourage
explores different types of colours in order for the
reader to see the colour scheme of the magazine
overall. This would link to my created magazine
because I'm going to use bold and bright colours
such as red, blue black and white in order to
appeal to readers.
Price- the price of Q magazine costs £3.99, I
am going to repeat this by using a similar
price to the created magazine. As it is an
expensive price, I will also repeat this by
using a similar price because it would
connote to readers that the magazine is at
its best quality.
Frequency of Release- Q magazine is released on a
monthly basis, this is because the magazine is quite
expensive and produces more content for readers as
they have waited a month instead of a week to
purchase a copy of the magazine. This would also link
to the created magazine because it will also be
released on a monthly basis in order to attract
readers.
Target Audience- The target audience
of Q magazine are aimed at young
people and adults from the ages of 25.
The genre of Q magazine is electric
which is going to be the same with my
created magazine because it would be
aimed at the same target audience
meaning within the same age group.
Images- on the front cover of Q
magazine it shows the artist
Florence and the machine. The
magazine used this particular artist
because she is a popular music artist
which would attract more people to
read it. I am going to repeat this
during the making of the magazine
I'm going to be creating by using a
popular artist on the front cover to
attract more people to read it. I will
use a clos up image of the artist to
demonstrate to readers that it is an
important part of the magazine.
Brand identity-specific features that
are shown for Q magazine are self
advertisement’s that appeals through
articles and the artist. This would link
to the created magazine because it will
be known from social media that would
include personal articles about the
artist.
Masthead Names-

• U
• Shuffle
• Playlist
• Volume
• More Music (MM)

14. Magazine Colours
When deciding the magazine colours for the magazine, I had to be
very specific when using the colours because it could effect the way it
is presented to the audience. I have chosen specific colours such as
red, blue and black they are very bold and bright which would catch
the readers attention. The colour red connotes excitement and
mystery, this would catch the audiences attention because the reader
won’t expect what is going to be featured in the magazine.
15. House Style of the magazine - SOUND
When creating different for Q I
thought it was important to
include the details of the house
styles and colours in which I will
use on my created magazine. In
each of my proposals there was
an outline on what is going to be
included in the magazine and the
features such as colour schemes
and logos.
Masthead
When deciding on the masthead
for the magazine I thought I would
have it similar to the colour
scheme and similar to my
magazine of inspiration which is Q
magazine and I will also use
similar colours to Q such as the
colour red. I will use other colours
like black and blue to create my
masthead. I will use effects such as
make the masthead stand out and
look professional in my magazine.

Colour scheme
For Q the house style is the colour
scheme, whereby they have chosen
the colours to be bright dark red,
black and blue. The red will connote
to the readers that I am taking ideas
from my magazine of inspiration
and also the how professional they
have laid out the magazine. the
colour scheme will be continued on
every page of the magazine.

I am going to be using synergy with other social media products within Sound
magazine for example I am going to promote the magazine on Facebook and
twitter so readers can be updated when the magazine is going to be published
and who it is going to feature.
Strapline language
The strapline language for Sound magazine is “UK’s best selling magazine” this will
encourage readers towards the magazine as it promotes the magazine’s title. This
will therefore attract readers as it is going to be promoted as a future magazine.
17. Interview Draft Planning
For my double page spread within the magazine, I am going to construct an interview
with a well known artist “Florence and the Machine” I will also be featuring her in the
double spread for my magazine. she will be the main headline for my magazine and
she will also interest the audience because she is a very popular artist which would
make the audience become interested.
I have chosen to interview “Florence and the machine” because she is a well known
artist and has been in the music industry for a very long time, she has been very
successful in the music industry and has made a great impact on people today.
Florence has made three up and coming albums and nearly made the top charts in
2013. her recently released song “what kind of man” created a very emotional but
understanding impact to her fans which was a great hit when it first came out. I want
to interview her because it would create a positive impact on readers and she would
be a great inspiration to both young people and adults.
The presentation of the interview featured on the double page spread will be laid out
as a question and answer style. This is quite typical in many magazines which makes it
makes easier for the reader to understand the content that is being published in the
questionnaire.
18. Draft Article-Interview
Jess Blundell 16, talks new and upcoming album and shares advice to people about going into
a music career.
FD
JB: It’s been great thanks for asking, it was very busy but exciting at the same time.
FD: how do you feel that your new song went at the top of the charts in just a week?
JB: I was really amazed and thankful for my fans support, I found that my song really inspired
my fans and just people in general, sometimes when I have a bad day I think about how
supportive my fans are and then I start to think about the song and how it made people feel.
FD: So how is your song writing process work?
JB: Well I start off thinking about the song beat then I get some ideas from the people that
help with creating my songs. I do admit they give me inspiration to write songs, they give me
a few ideas that I could use, I think of lyrics for them and then we think of a name for the
song.
FD: So your new album is being realised soon, what can we expect from it?
JB: You can expect a lot of emotion such as happy and sad. I was aiming at getting my fans to
understand the different types of music I create and what the message is in the song.
FD: Have you learnt any important or tough lessons from your early experiences of the music
industry?
JB: Well it is very hard to get into the music industry, when you get in to it there’s no going
back to a normal person, your automatically known to the public and sometimes it is very tuff
to keep a brave face.
FD: I heard that you sold out your tour, how does that feeling of thousands of people want to
see you and only you feel like?
JB: It’s shocking to be honest; it makes me feel happy that I'm making other people happy
when they listen to my music and its also shocking how thousands of people look up to me as
a person and not just a singer. I try my best to do a lot for my fans as they got me where I am
today.
FD: Thank you Jessica for your time it’s been great talking with you. Do you have any words
of inspiration for your fans that are looking to pursue a music career?
JB: Thank you and my advice to them is to never stop believing in yourself and you will get
there, if your talented at singing then I suggest you keep at it and never stop until you’ve
been noticed by someone.
This is my draft
article interview
where I have
created an
interview with the
artist for it to be
featured into my
magazine. I did this
so readers will be
attracted to my
magazine as I am
using particular
artists to attract
younger viewers
and teenagers.

Image 1- friends house
I took this image at my friends
house because I thought it was a
casual place as it is located in a
local area. I wanted to use a
zoom in shot of her face because
I wanted it to be featured on the
front cover of the magazine.
Image 2-friends house-bathroom
I took his image in the bathroom
of the house because I thought it
had better lighting and a clear

Why?
I used my friend Jess to feature in
the magazine as she looks like
particular famous people and
readers would b interested about
reading the magazine because
they would think to read about
her. I also used her because she
had a casual style to readers that
would possibly read the
magazine.
I used my friend jess as my
subject as she looks younger and
this could possibly catch the
audiences attention. I will
feature this image on my double
page spread that will be featured
in the magazine. I also used her
because she had a casual style to
readers that would possibly read
the magazine.
20. The lighting I used for this image
was dark because I wanted to
capture the whole face in a
different light. I didn't use any type
of lighting in particular as I wanted
it to be dark as well as light to
capture a glowing effect on the
image.
For the costume, I chose casual
clothing as I am trying to attract
young people. She is wearing a
black long sleeved top, blue jeans
and some black high heels.
I used a digital camera that I
borrowed from my school
Subject name-Jessica Blundell
The lighting I used for this image
was typically light and dark
lighting, in some parts of the image
there is lighter parts then others.
The costume I used for this image
is similar to my other image,
including causal clothing where she
is wearing a top, black jeans and
some flat shoes.
I also used a digital camera to take
this image.
Subject name-Jessica Blundell
Permission needed
Contact needed to be made
Evidence of this?
I have given the artist a
permission slip, asking for her
permission so I will be able to
take pictures of her

The flash of the
camera could affect
the picture overall
because it could
block out the
picture. If anything
is in the way when

someone could
possibly fall over
and brake the
camera.

22. This is a form from the permission
slip that allows me to take pictures
of this person and feature them in
the magazine.
23. Prop list Before taking the images I needed for my front
cover and double page spread, I have made some
lists in order to make sure I have the equipment I
need. One of these lists includes the Prop List
which consists of the costume that I used, the
equipment and the props.
By making these lists, it will illustrate what I need in
order to take pictures for my Front cover and
Double Page spread. I had to then find a location
which will fit the pictures that I will eventually be
taking. I have then also made sure that the artist
that will be featured in my Front cover and Double
page will wear suitable clothing for the shoot that
links to the theme of the magazine. I made sure to
include a camera which I will be using to take
pictures with, the different lenses which will be
used in the camera and I have also used a bag to
store all the equipment I need for the shoot.

24. Prop sourcing
Before taking images for the Front cover
and Double page spread, I needed to make
sure that I had all the equipment I needed
for the shoot. I got the equipment from my
school which I borrowed in order to take
pictures, this will make the images at a
better quality and more appealing for the
readers to see. I researched a few websites
which gave me information about the
equipment that I could use at a cheap
price. Below are some examples of the
websites I researched for my prop sourcing.
Other props that I needed to include are
costumes that the artist will be wearing. I
was able to find costumes in a local
clothing shop that could provide me with
casual clothes for the shoot. I couldn’t find
any clothes that I thought were suitable for
my shoot so I went online and found some
clothes I thought matched with the theme.

25. Test Photography
during my test photography, I have taken 6
images of the person that is going to be featured
on my created front cover and double page
spread. I will use some of these images in the
magazine to demonstrate that I have used
different images to attract the audience
attention.

27. I carried out a Photoshoot
plan in order to identify who
I am going to use for the
pictures I will be taking,
what they will be wearing in
the Photoshoot and what
equipment I will need in
order to do this.
28. Location images
Before taking images for my magazine
front cover and double page spread, I
had to make sure that I had a location
where I will be able to take these
images. I have taken these images at a
friends house, this will also imply what
type of equipment I will need so that I
can fully take them at a suitable quality
and it will also make me aware of any
possible risks/hazards that could
happen in the process. Furthermore, I
have taken some images of the
equipment that I will be using within
the process in order to take the
images, I used a digital canon camera, I
have used this while changing the
settings each time so that I can get a
better quality image.

29. Risk Assessment-Photography consent form
Image risk assessment – Consent Form
Before taking images for the magazine, I had
to gain full permission for the person to be
photographed and the image being
published which will be both online and
printed. I thought the best way to do this is
to send an email across to the artist
describing what they have to wear and act
like during these pictures that will be taken. I
have also sent the artist a permission form
which they will have to sign and issue a date
they would have to send it back to me. By
having permission, I will be able to have a
fully signed document which means that I
will be able to take pictures and use them in
my magazine.

Week 4
34. Launch Date
The launch date of the magazine will be released on the 28th
July. I have specifically chosen the magazine to be released on
this date as it is in the summer time where events are held
such as festivals.
35. Hand Drawn Drafts-Final Idea
This is my final Front cover and Double page spread draft for my chosen magazine.
36. First front cover Hand Drawn Drafts
Magazine Logo- I have chosen to place
my magazine logo on the left top corner
of the front cover, I have chosen this part
in particular because it is easy for the
readers to see it and it would be the first
thing they would see. I have been
inspired to put the magazine logo in this
particular place because of Q magazine,
this is because It is my magazine of
inspiration. I have chosen these
particular colours on the magazine logo
because Q magazine has a red logo. I
have then got the idea of using the same
colour. This will show that my magazine
is similar to Q magazine.
Main story- I have decided to place
the main story on the right hand
side of the front cover because
readers will notice it straight away
as it is close to the main image, this
will encourage readers to pick it up
and read it. I thought by placing the
main story there, it will have a clear
view of the magazine logo and the
main image. I was inspired by Q
magazine to place it in this
particular area, this will
demonstrate that I am following my
magazine of inspiration.
Puff promotion- I have chosen to place
the puff promotion on the top left hand
corner, I have chosen to place it in this
particular place because it is similar to
my magazine of inspiration. I thought
about placing it there because it will
attract readers to the magazine. This will
encourage readers to buy the magazine
because the puff promotion usually
offers the readers with competitions
where they could possibly win
something.
Magazine layout- when creating the
hand drawn drafts for my magazine, I
wanted to make sure that they look
professional and eye catching for the
reader to see, this will more likely
attract the reader to read the magazine.
I wanted to carefully think about where
I wanted to place certain things such as
the masthead and the puff promotion.
In order to do this I have looked at my
magazine of inspiration and followed a
similar layout so readers will know it is
my magazine of inspiration.
Article feature- on this hand drawn
draft, I was aiming to include the
content and what readers will see
when they open the magazine. Then
I will make the title of the pages
smaller in order for the readers to
know more about the content of the
magazine and the artist it is talking
about.
37. First double page spread hand drawn draft
Main image- I created this double page spread by looking at my
magazine of inspiration which is Q magazine, I thought it was a
good idea for the image to be a big part of the double page spread.
This will be eye catching to the reader as it will be the first thing the
reader will see.
Information about the
artist- this includes
specific information
that readers would like
to know about the
artist, which includes
information about who
they are and how they
got famous and why
they are popular to the
public.
Article images- on the
double page spread
draft that is shown, I
will be including
smaller images to
represent the main
image and to give the
reader an idea about
what they will be
reading. Also the
smaller images can
refer back to the
article, this will
encourage the reader
to read the article and
find out what it is
about.
Interview- on the double page spread draft I have placed the interview in columns, I have
done this because it will make it more interesting for the reader. An interview in a
magazine is a personalised interview between the artist and the publisher, this will
encourage readers to find out more about the artist that they like and admire. I have also
placed it in columns because it will seem like a dramatic build up for the reader, I have
used questions and answers in the interview to imply that it is professional which will tell
readers information about the artist.
38. Final image plans-hand drawn drafts
Final double page spread draft- this is my final double page spread draft that I will
then include into the magazine. It will consist of the interview, the main image,
anchoraged text and pull quote. the main image will be the first thing the reader will
see, this is because the image will be presented as big and bold which will
automatically attract the readers attention. The interview is laid out in columns to
show to the reader that it is professionally laid out. It will also give them information
about artist overall. The pull quote is give readers an idea about what the overall
interview is going to be talking about.
39. Final image plans-hand drawn drafts
Final Front cover Draft- this is my final front cover which will be featured In the magazine. It
will include the logo which is going to be placed on the top left hand corner, this will also be
similar to Q magazine because it is my magazine of inspiration. Secondly the puff promotion
will be placed on the right top hand corner and will feature a competition where readers
could possibly win a free prize by entering. Thirdly the cover lines will consist of key events
and artists that will be featured within the magazine. The main story will feature articles
which will relate to the main image. The main headline will feature the main title of the
magazine and what the main article and interview will be about. The main image will also
have an image of the artist which will be featured in the magazine, this will more likely attract
readers to read the magazine as the artist will be popular. And lastly the bar-code will include
the issue date, when the magazine will be published, the price of the magazine overall and
some social media links which enables readers to follow so they will never miss an issue of the
magazine.

43. Conclusion to Unit 14 LO1
In this unit, I have focused on creating my final image plans for
my final images which I have taken for my front cover and
double page spread. I have also included my ideas for my front
cover and double page spread where I have drawn hand drawn
drafts that I have labelled, including different features of each
part such as barcode, masthead and cover lines. By looking at
the features I labelled, it gave me ideas where to place them on
my final magazine.

46. Location Recce
Before taking images for my front cover and double page
spread for the magazine, I had to create a location
Reece, I have created this to demonstrate where I have
taken my final images for the magazine. I will also
mentioned about the risks and hazards that could be
caused while taking images. For example breaking the
camera, this could cause the glass to break which is a
harmful risk while taking these images for the
photographer.

Image 1- friends house
I took this image at my friends
house because I thought it was a

local area. I wanted to use a
zoom in shot of her face because
I wanted it to be featured on the
front cover of the magazine.

Why?
I used my friend Jess to feature in
the magazine as she looks like
particular famous people and
readers would b interested about
reading the magazine because
they would think to read about
her. I also used her because she
had a casual style to readers that
would possibly read the
magazine.
I used my friend jess as my
subject as she looks younger and
this could possibly catch the
audiences attention. I will
feature this image on my double
page spread that will be featured
in the magazine. I also used her
because she had a casual style to
readers that would possibly read
the magazine.
48. The lighting I used for this image
was dark because I wanted to
capture the whole face in a
different light. I didn't use any type
of lighting in particular as I wanted
it to be dark as well as light to
capture a glowing effect on the
image.
For the costume, I chose casual
clothing as I am trying to attract
young people. She is wearing a
black long sleeved top, blue jeans
and some black high heels.
I used a digital camera that I
borrowed from my school
Subject name-Jessica Blundell
The lighting I used for this image
was typically light and dark
lighting, in some parts of the image
there is lighter parts then others.
The costume I used for this image
is similar to my other image,
including causal clothing where she
is wearing a top, black jeans and
some flat shoes.
I also used a digital camera to take
this image.
Subject name-Jessica Blundell
Permission needed
Contact needed to be made
Evidence of this?
I have given the artist a
permission slip, asking for her
permission so I will be able to
take pictures of her

51. Risk Assessment-Photography consent form
Image risk assessment – Consent Form
Before taking images for the magazine, I had
to gain full permission for the person to be
photographed and the image being
published which will be both online and
printed. I thought the best way to do this is
to send an email across to the artist
describing what they have to wear and act
like during these pictures that will be taken. I
have also sent the artist a permission form
which they will have to sign and issue a date
they would have to send it back to me. By
having permission, I will be able to have a
fully signed document which means that I
will be able to take pictures and use them in
my magazine.
52. Risk Assessment – Form
I completed an industry standard risk assessment form before taking pictures for the
magazine. I had to look into what to take, transport, camera and lighting, sound and what
the director should use. I had to do a risk assessment before hand because it will make
sure I was protecting myself and the person I was taking pictures of from any risks or
hazards, I have ensured that I have covered all aspects of risks that could happen.

53. Location images
Before taking images for my magazine
front cover and double page spread, I
had to make sure that I had a location
where I will be able to take these
images. I have taken these images at a
friends house, this will also imply what
type of equipment I will need so that I
can fully take them at a suitable quality
and it will also make me aware of any
possible risks/hazards that could
happen in the process. Furthermore, I
have taken some images of the
equipment that I will be using within
the process in order to take the
images, I used a digital canon camera, I
have used this while changing the
settings each time so that I can get a
better quality image.

54. Intellectual Property
A watermark form is considered a copyright label, it is demonstrated on both online
and written documents. This is when an image has copyright for their company or logo
they have created which is printed on it to identify who it belongs to. By having
watermark on pictures, it will prevent people from using them without permission as it
is owned by their company. below, I have made some examples of Watermark on my
front cover and double page spread to advertise that my magazine is personal and
includes Watermark on each image in order to demonstrate that it belongs to my
company. The edits I have created will be used online to ensure that no one will be
allowed access without permission and so it won’t be able to be copyrighted by other
organisations. I have created these edits in Photoshop to include into the magazine.
Front cover water mark Double page spread water mark
https://postcron.com/en/blog/watermark-on-facebook/
55. Production Legal and Ethical Issues
before my magazine can be published to the public, there are some legal and ethical
issues that have to be investigated before doing so. Two of these are to publish the
organization so that it is professional, this will also include privacy to label accuracy.
Copyright- the legal right to be the only one to produce, publish and sell a book,
a video or anything on social media that has been created or brought out to the
public. an example of this would be brochures, books and other things on social
media that would be considered copyrighted. for Q magazine, they use
copyright by using pictures of a particular artist or band member. By using
different images, they will have to therefore ask the company for permission in
order to use the image.
The right to privacy- publishing content about different people, it is important to regulate people’s privacy
and what they purchase on the internet. In order to make sure of this, I will have to ask the people for their
permission to feature on my magazine.
Seditious and Criminal Libel- this is when something that is released on the internet is considered
offensive to the government and the people of the public. Criminal Libel is published information that is
released about someone that is considered negative to the public and which would create a reputation
for that person or company.
56. Production Legal and Ethical
Issues
Discrimination-if an article is published and has signs of discrimination, this would mean they are talking about
an individuals race, colour, religion and gender. Examples of discrimination would be racism, harassment and
many others.
Children- people have to be careful about what they say about children in the media industry and content that
is released about them because they are considered innocent and vulnerable. It is important to use permission
from their parents/parent to use their information on the internet if they are under the age of 18, then the
parents or parent will then have to agree to the terms and make sure that they are using necessary content
that is appropriate for the magazine.
Accuracy-content that is published in a magazine must not be inaccurate, this means that the information
they produce such as written information or pictures they use must not be misleading. This means that it
must be accurate and not made up or extended. Furthermore, I need to be accurate in the magazine I am
creating because then I will be giving readers the correct information that they are reading about within the
magazine.
https://www.tes.com/lessons/x9hMlieIZ5BXqQ/unit-6-week-5-discrimination
http://www.eastspartachurch.com/childrens-mnistry/
57. Legal and Ethical Issues
Contract Challenges: when looking through the content of the magazine, it goes through a
contract to the organisation so they will only use copyright on the things that they have created.
When the person/people sign the contract, this will then mean they have to stick to it and it must
not be changed in any way possible. This would also mean that they have control of some of the
rights they have made.
Copyright:Intellectual Property-before making the magazine, I had to research legal areas that I
can then be able to use a type of content in my magazine that I will be producing. Using this, they
will have to ask for permission to use particular content so it can be featured in the magazine and
so it will be safe from paying fines.
Privacy-when publishing content into my magazine, I will have to make sure that I limit people's
privacy that will be featured in the magazine. I will have to make sure that I ask for permission for
any personal details that will be featured before I publish the magazine and with the permission of
the person I would like to feature in the magazine. I have to also made sure not to include
anything negative information about that person so the magazine won't have a negative impact on
the readers and public.
https://www.copyrightservice.co.uk/
When making the magazine, I have to make sure
that I include legal and ethical issues when
dealing with the content that is going to be
featured in the magazine. For example I could
talk about private information from an artist and
I will have to deal with what I say and the limits. I
will then create protection copyright so that I
only use it for my organisation and other
companies will not be able to access it.
58. Press Complaints Commission
When producing and publishing the magazine, I will have to include the editors code
which can be found on the press complaints commission website. The first thing about
the editors code is to make sure that the magazine is of high standards when it comes
to the making of the magazine and making sure that every page is professorially laid
out. This will include the content and how the company will be able to handle readers
information that is provided so that the magazine will be able to handle the situation
in a reasonable manner.
Overall the information in the editors code must be applied into the magazine that is
created from the magazine development. This will include both printed and online
punishments so readers won't miss an issue of the magazine. This would mean that
the editors can check through the information that is created by the publishers so that
they can make sure that the content is published professionally within the editors
codes instructions.
http://www.pcc.org.uk/assets/111/Teachers__Resource_Pack.pdf
http://www.pcc.org.uk/assets/80/PCC_Complaints_Statistics_for_2011.pdf
59. Press Complaints Commission
Accuracy
The editors code is responsible to ensure that all content that is going to be published
within the magazine is suitable and is going to be featured on the front cover and double
page spread that I have created. These will be featured in the magazine in order to
attract readers to read it. The editors code have to make sure that everything that is
published is “accurate” meaning that there is no spelling mistakes or inaccurate
information such as information about certain artists that are going to be featured in it.
By following the editors code, this will grant them high quality of information that will be
published in the magazine and will also maintain the layout. This will repeat certain
things such as the logo and strapline. Overall accuracy will be used throughout the
magazine and will follow the editors code which will ensure that the content that will be
released is accurate
Privacy
For the magazine front cover and double page spread, I will have to gain permission from
the person that will be featured in the magazine so that it can be published. To make sure
that the editors of the magazine will gain permission, they will have to directly contact the
person that they would like to feature in it, they could possibly do this by email in order for
them to gain permission to take their photograph.
60. How to make a complaint
Initial Assessment- firstly the editors will receive and choose whether the complaint
they have received allows it to be a complaint and what type of complaint it is. If it
isn’t a complaint for some reason IPSO will email the person or people back explaining
why it isn’t a complaint and that it doesn’t fit into any type of complaint services they
have.
Referral to the publication- if the complaint doesn’t have any particular code, it will
then be sent to the head of the editors publication. They will then receive the
complaint and they will then organise any type of issue that has been made if it
hasn’t already been resolved within 28 working days.
The investigation-if a complaint has not been resolved by the publishers, the
complaints group that are involved with the complaint will contact the editor for a
response to the complaint.
Adjudication by the complaints committee-if the complaint is still not resolved, the
complaints committee will discuss whether they should leave it unresolved from the
editors code.
https://www.ipso.co.uk/make-a-complaint/
61. How to make a complaint
Remedies-if the complaints committee decides that the code has not been broken down
with the complaints they have received, it will automatically receive the correction from
the publication.
Review of the process-if your compliant goes through the process but a person is unhappy
with exactly how they complained, you can ask for a review from the complaints reviewer
so they can tell you what is positive and negative about your complaint.
As you can see, I have a
screenshot of the IPSO website
page on how to make a
complaint. On the screenshot
you can choose what type of
complaint you would like to
make and whether you have
contacted the publication
already about the complaint.
When you have fully filled in all
the information you want to, it
will then be sent off to the
publication and you will receive
an email about the complaint
you have made.
62. Complaint Case study
The sun newspaper published information on the 8th of September about a
woman called Camilla Vaid, she complained to the press complaints commission
about the newspaper publishing information about private pictures in clause 3 of
the editors code of practice. Camilla was shocked about the situation and then
went further and made a complaint about what she has witnessed. The press
complaints commission replied to her and the complaint was soon resolved after
the PCC removed the article from the newspaper and sent a private apology to her
by letter about what happened. The private pictures were soon taken down as the
complaint was resolved.
http://www.pcc.org.uk
63. Complaint Case study
A woman complained to the Daily Telegraph about an article that had been published
called “Mother drowned after row with lesbian partner” the article had featured
discriminations to her sexuality and also with her partner in breach clause 2. they also
interfered in her life and questioned her sexuality. This complaint started on the 8th of
September 2014 when the PCC had been closed for a short amount of time. The
complaint was soon resolved when the complaints committee had to look into further
detail, this is so they can resolve the issue and soon the article will be removed from the
magazine. The woman’s main concern was the main headline which she found
“irrelevant” that her and her partner are lesbians and use different words such as “lovers”
instead of referring to them as just “partners” and she was confused that they would
mention her sexuality in the article and how it wasn’t any of their concern. The Daily
Telegraph soon responded to this complaint and said that the couples sexuality was noted
at the inquest and there was evidence that the woman’s family had been experiencing
difficulties after the death of her partner. The complaint was about the same sex
relationship and was therefore reported. The Daily Telegraph soon reported their
apologies to the woman and showed sympathy for her and her partner being dead and
how it affected her and her family, they soon took down the article and it was never
mentioned again.
64. Complaint Case study Continued
http://www.pcc.org.uk/cases/adjudicated.html?article=NDU4MQ==&type=
Ms. Sabrina Guinness from London complained about an article in Hello magazine
that was incorrect and misleading information. The article accused her of being in an
relationship with Sir Paul McCartney, which broke clause 1 of the editor code
(incorrect and misleading content). The issue was soon resolved when in the next
issue of Hello magazine printed a statement that they were not in a relationship and
issued an apology to both Paul McCartney and Ms. Guinness .
65. Health and safety at work 1974
The health and safety risks at the work place consists of many different things
such as being aware of the people around you, protecting others around them
against risks and health issues in the environment of the work place. Some risks
and safety issues may be spilling a drink, this could have an effect to other
people in the work place because they could possibly fall over the liquid.
Another risk is making sure that other workers that are around you are not in a
health and safety issue for example if they are using dangerous equipment that
could be harmful to themselves or other people. All the following are some
health and safety issues that workers may face in the work place. It is vital that
workers have to be in a safe environment when they are working.
http://www.hse.gov.uk/legislation/hswa.htm
66. Editors code of practice
https://www.ipso.co.uk/editors-code-of-practice/
There are codes of practice that
editors have to follow to obey
legal and ethical issues such as:
Clause 1-accuracy
I must make sure my work is
accurate so I'm not publishing
incorrect information about
anyone, specially the artist, I am
going to make sure I do this
especially on the first issue so
readers will be able to gain a good
first impression.
Clause 12-Discrimiation
I must make sure my work doesn’t
discriminate against anyone for
example race, colour, religion and
gender identity.
67. Editors code of practice
https://www.ipso.co.uk/editors-code-of-practice/
I am going to use these codes in order to improve the quality of the magazine, for
example in clause 1 I am going to improve the accuracy of the magazine content
where I will publish the information I have received and endeavour to not
misrepresent the person being interviewed for example.
I will also use clause 12 where I will make sure that I haven't use any type of
discrimination that may seem offensive to the public eye.
68. Trademarking the name of the magazine
In Sound, the designer team will ensure that the name we have chosen, slogan and logo
is trademarked under the ‘intellectual property’’ law. The cost of the trade marketing
will cost £170.
Mention considerations (copyrighting the name and logo)
How you did this
1-the first step you will need to do if you want to trademark the name of the magazine
is to firstly register your trade mark online to protect the brand. When you have
registered, you will be able to confront anyone that is going to use it without
permission.
2-after you have applied, you will be able to be given feedback within 20 days. when
they have received your application, it will be published into the trade marks journal.
Then the trade mark will be resolved and you will be able to receive a certificate to
confirm the registration.
3-you will then need to identify how much it will cost within the application, for
example you will need to pay £100 plus £25 for each class.
https://www.gov.uk/how-to-register-a-trade-mark/apply
69. Conclusion
Overall in this LO I have spoken about the risks when creating
the magazine, I have looked into legal and ethical issues that
will be included when publishing a magazine.
I looked at the risk assessments when taking pictures for my
created magazine. I thought of the many risks that can happen
while taking pictures such as braking the camera.
I have also made two image plans in this LO which consists of
such asking for permission from the person that I will be using
for the pictures within the magazine. I have also included the
equipment and the location where I will be taking these
images.
Overall I have explored many things within this LO such as risk
assessments and a permission report to demonstrate that I
have got permission from the person that I am going to be
taking pictures of.

73. Equipment
Before taking the images I needed for my front cover and double page spread
within the magazine, I had to think about what equipment I would need in order
to take the images. In the first image I have included a picture of a camera, I will
use this in order to take images in a good quality standard. This will also help me
to take very clear images so that it is at a professional standard for the audience.
Furthermore, I have also included different lighting effects on the camera in order
to capture the best lighting for the quality of the image.
source-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera
http://www.digital-photo-secrets.com/tip/482/the-idiots-guide-to-camera-settings/
74. Test Photography
within my test photography, I have taken 6 images of the person that is
going to be featured on the front cover and double page spread. I will use
these images in my magazine to demonstrate that I have used different
angle shots.
Within the creation of the magazine, I
have used a canon camera to take these
images for my Front cover and double
page spread in order for them to be
featured within the magazine.
75. Pre-Production Material
Within the making of the magazine, I have included pre-production materials to make sure that
I am sticking to the deadlines I have made. I had some problems trying to take the right image
at the time because the lighting was changing each time, I had to then wait for the right time
to take the image in order for the lighting to be noticeable.
Potential Hazards/risks:
The potential hazards/risks
while taking images for the
magazine front cover and
double page spread consists of
breaking the camera, this could
be a risk because there could be
glass from the camera lens on
the floor where anyone could be
at risk from falling over. Another
risk that could happen would be
losing the camera or misplacing
it when at the location taking
images, this would affect the
images because they would no
longer be found which means
they would have to be taken
again.
76. Safe Working Practices-
Downloading font styles
In order to ensure that I had all the necessary
fonts I wanted to use, I used a website called
dafont.com which is an online website where it
provides you with different types of fonts you
can then download and use.
The fonts that are displayed are copyrighted
when you will need to have a license when
downloading fonts in order to install them.
This is a helpful resource because it enabled
me to possible the appropriate fonts I have
then used in my font cover and double page
spread.

Week 4
81. Front coverMasthead/logo-the logo of this
magazine is placed in the top left
hand corner, this will be featured all
throughout the magazine. the logo
is the colour red which links back to
my magazine of inspiration. I have
then chosen the colour red to also
be on my magazine front cover. The
colour red can connote excitement
and adventure which the readers
will experience while reading the
magazine.
Puff promotion-I have
changed the puff promotion
throughout making this front
cover, I have moved it to the
top left hand corner and I
have also made the colour
lighter in order to attract a
younger audience. Readers
will find the puff promotion
eye catching because of the
colours, I have then decided
to use and it will give the
reader more information
about what is going to be
featured in the magazine.
Main headline-the main headline is placed on the bottom right
hand corner, it is very eye catching as I have used multiple
colours such as red and black, these colours connote excitement
and adventure, this will enable readers to then be automatically
attracted to read the magazine.
Main image-the main image style of
the pose is originally from my
magazine of inspiration which is Q
magazine, I got inspired and thought
to use the same pose that they have
used on the front cover.
Cover lines-In the cover lines, I have
included advertisements to feature in the
magazine, this will help readers to know
what the magazine is going to be about.
Barcode-the barcode is inspired by Q magazine, it includes
how much the magazine costs, social media sites such as
Facebook and twitter and the date when it has been
published.
82. Main headline-I have placed the main headline on the top of the page where it is spread out just
behind of the main image, I have chosen the colour grey as it would link to my double page spread
of inspiration which features Florence and the machine.
Main image-I
have placed the
main image on the
left hand side of
the page, I have
chosen this
particular image
as it is similar to
my magazine of
inspiration.
Interview-the interview with the artist is separated into three columns, I have also included
a drop capital in order for it to look more professional.
Quote-I have
based the main
quote in the
middle of the
page which is just
above the first
two columns of
the interview.
83. This is my final Front Cover for my magazine, I have followed with the colour scheme of my magazine of
inspiration, I have also used colours similar to Q such as red and black. I have chosen these colours because
it makes it easier to see and it also makes the image stand out. I have been influenced by Q magazine to
choose the artist Florence and the machine, I have chosen her because she is very popular and known to
the public.
84. This is my final double page spread for my magazine, I have followed with the colour
scheme of my magazine of inspiration, I have also used colours similar to Q such as red
and black. I have chosen these colours because it makes it easier to see and it also makes
the image stand out. I have been influenced by Q magazine to choose the artist Florence
and the machine, I have chosen her because she is very popular and known to the
public.
85. Post-Production Publishing Tools
The first thing I had to do when creating a magazine front cover is to first create a
canvas, you can do this by firstly opening up Photoshop and typing in the width
that you would like to have and the height of you choice. This will be the first step
in order to edit images or create pages, you will have to go to file then new in
order to do this, I chose the size of the canvas based on my magazine of
inspiration which is Q magazine.
Placing an image-in
order to place an
image, you will have to
go to file and place, this
will enable you to go
onto your own files and
pick a certain picture
that you would like to
use.
86. Post-Production Skills-Software
When creating the magazines front cover and double page spread, I only
used one piece of software and that is Photoshop.
I used Photoshop in order to create my front cover and double page spread,
I did this so I am making them at a better quality to be featured in the
magazine. Photoshop allows you to edit images to make them more
realistic, less realistic or at a good quality, you can use tools such as the text
tool which can enable you to insert any type of text into the front cover
when needed. I have chosen Photoshop to be my main editor because I
thought it was the best software to use in order to edit images.
87. Post-Production Skills-Tools Front
cover
When creating the front cover of the magazine, I had to use some tools in order to
complete it successfully. This would help it to adjust small things which would improve the
magazine overall.
Front cover:
Firstly I used the ruler tool in order to help
layout my front cover and so I can measure
where to place each feature. The ruler tool will
appear on the left hand side of the screen
where you would layout using the lines that
are shown, this will then help creating the
front cover.
88. Post-Production Skills-Tools
Double page spreadPen tool:
Pen tool-I used the pen tool on the double page spread when dealing with the columns for the
interview. This will make sure that the text won’t go out of the column and it will look more
professional for the readers. In order to use the pen tool, you will have to create a column or a
box by clicking on each of the corners that you want the box/column to be. It will then create
the shape you want and then you can then insert the text onto the double page spread.
Ruler Tool:
In order to create my double page spread for my chosen magazine, I
had to look into further detail how I could lay it out to make sure
that everything was in the right place. In order to use the ruler tool, I
had to use a short cut for this which is CTRL H or R on the keyboard
and it should come up with the ruler tool, this will help in order to
measure things in the right places.
89. Post production skills
Quick selection tool-I was able to use the quick
selection tool in Photoshop to crop out the background
that I didn’t need so the picture will be able to look
more professional.
Quick mask tool-I was able to use this tool within the
image where I had to refined the edges of the picture
to make it look more presentable
Eye dropper tool-I used this tool to gain any colours
that I will be using while creating my magazine front
cover and double page spread. I will be able to save
the colours that I want to use by using the colour
swatches where it enables me to save the colour I
want to use.
90. Proof-reading and sub-editing
I have proof read all my work that I have created within my 4 LOs, which will
show that all my work is in a professional format in all of my work that I have
produced.
in the screenshots above has an example that I have proof read my work. The
first screenshot is the mistake I have made and the second one demonstrates I
have corrected the mistake.
91. Proof-reading and sub-editing
Removing hyphens- in order to make
sure that the interview is presented in a
professional way, I had to remove the
hyphens between the lines of the text so
there is no gaps in-between. Firstly I had
to select the text and go to window in the
top bar and click on paragraph. A small
square window should appear on the
screen then click on the very left side
hyphens and it will automatically shape
the text in a straight line.
92. Safe Working Practices
When taking images and editing them for my front cover and double page spread, I had to make
a risk assessment while creating these. I had to create a safe working practice and how it could
affect the images.
Software risk assessment
Resizing an image-when creating the images I had taken for my magazine front cover and
double page spread, I wanted to make sure that I did this so that the image would be at a high
standard. I found a useful method in order to edit these images where I resized the image by
holding down shift, then resize from a corner to make an image bigger or smaller. The idea of
this tool is be used for making the image at a better quality, for example if the image was
smaller but had a better quality other than if it was bigger.
Colour swatches-in order to create a magazine
front cover and double page spread, you will have
to use all different types of colours to use in the
magazine where you can make sure that you don’t
lose the specific colours that you need. In order to
do this, you will have to click on swatches which is
on the right hand corner of Photoshop, you then
click the new swatch icon and chose the colour
that you want. In order to keep the swatch you
have created, you will be able to use the eye
dropper tool in order to select the colour you have
previously used.
93. Post production skills
Quick selection tool-I was able to use the quick selection tool
in Photoshop to crop out the background that I didn’t need so
the picture will be able to look more professional.
Eye dropper tool-I used this tool to gain any colours that I will
be using while creating my magazine front cover and double
page spread. I will be able to save the colours that I want to
use by using the colour swatches where it enables me to save
the colour I want to use. I saved the colours into swatches to
preserve the brand identity of the magazine.
94. Quick mask tool (Q) -
I was able to use this tool within the image where I had to refine the edges of the
picture to make it look more presentable.
By using the brush presets, I was able to “reveal” (White) and “conceal” (Black)
areas of the image that needed to remain and be cropped out.
95. Safe Working Practices
Within these screenshots I have clearly presented the paragraphs of the double page
spread on the correct line. this will ensure that the paragraphs are presented in a
professional way so the reader will be able to read the text.
96. Main headline-the main headline is placed behind the main image, I have chosen this
particular place as it would stand out to the audience. I have used the colour grey as it is
similar to my double page spread of inspiration which features Florence and the machine.
97. Step by Step Guide
Command shift 4
Front cover
Step 1- while making a front cover you will need to open up Photoshop and create an
A4 page spread. Go to File – New – International paper which makes it an A4 sized
canvas
Step 2- I then started to create my barcode where there was a template in the public
drive where you go to CTEC media where you will find a barcode template, go to file and
place, then you will have your barcode.
Step 3- for the background of my front cover, I decided to keep it white so it links to my
magazine of inspiration, if you would like to change the colour at any point then go to
the paint bucket tool, click on a colour that you would want then click on the
background.
Step 4- to create the masthead you would have to click on the pen tool then you would
have to make a shape of a square by clicking each of the points, this will enable you to
have your masthead,to change the colour go to the paint bucket tool.
Step 5-to insert a font you would need to go online and make a font on a website such
as dafont.com where you download the font and it will appear on all the other fonts on
Photoshop then you copy and paste it through and you drag it to where your masthead
is, to resize it press command T and hold down shift so the font doesn't look pixelated,
you will have to do the same for the strapline.
98. Step by Step Guide
Step 6- to create the puff promotion you will need to go to the shape tool on
Photoshop where you would have to resize it so it can be enlarged as you
want it to be, to add colour you will again have to use the paint bucket tool
where you can choose a colour of your choice on the outside of the circle
where you would have to use a stroke affect where it gives you options if you
want the colour to be faded or bold.
Step 7- to add cover lines into your front cover you will need to add text
where you can write promotions to promote your magazine, you will then
need to resize and drag them both so they are on both sides of the magazine
cover.
Step 8- to add the title of your magazine you will need to again add text by
clicking on the text box tool then you will need to type in your magazine title
and you will then need to again resize it and make it stand out by using colour
to make it stand out.
99. Step by step guide continued
Step 1- the first step to creating a double page spread on a magazine would
be to choose a theme that would fit best for your magazine for example
your colour scheme, I have chosen a white colour that is faded into a
brown/ dark pink colour for the canvas.
Step 2- the next thing you will need to do is to add a page number to your
double page spread so that readers can see what page it is on
Step 3- for this step you will need to take pictures of your chosen subject,
after taking the images you will need to save them in your file place. After
that you will need to go to file then place in Photoshop and your chosen
image will appear, you will need to quick select the image and move it
where you would like it to go on your double page spread.
100. Step by Step Guide continued
further
Step 4- for this step I had to paste my interview with the artist
into my double page spread, in order to do this you will have
to copy and paste the information over. After this I had to add
in a drop capital to show it is professionally laid out, I also had
to add the interview between the quote because I was linking
it to my magazine of inspiration.
Step 5- I then added the pull quote in between my interview
by using the pen tool which I then inserted the quote by using
a different font to make it stand out.
Step 6- the name of the artist was Jess Blundell who featured
on my double page spread and front cover, in the interview I
used a different font to show that it’s professional for the
readers, the colour of the font was black and the drop capital
was red because I wanted it to relate to my magazine of
inspiration which is Q.
Step 7- lastly I had to add my logo/masthead to my double
page spread, my logo/masthead is called sound where I had to
add in the logo, this will create organisation for the readers as
I've added a logo to my front cover, which will create
consistency.
101. Conclusion
In this LO I have looked into the main process of production, meaning I have
made a production plan in order to help me create the magazine. I firstly created
a mood board which will demonstrate to the readers what will be featured in the
magazine, for example what artists and content will be included. I have created
this to imply the main features of the magazine, such as what target audience it
is aimed at and the music genre.
For the main production process, I had to edit photos I have taken for the
magazine front cover and double page spread. I edited these in Photoshop in
order to create the magazine all together. I had to make sure that I used the
right location to take these images so they are professional to the readers. I had
to therefore create an image plan so I know where to take the images.
I have also looked at the production plan, this is where I had to make a schedule
in order to make a music magazine, I had to include similar content to my
magazine of inspiration. This will also help me to stick to my deadlines that are
set.

one on the top is my first double page spread that I
created, the other one is my final double page spread

This is my final learning outcome where I have explored many things such as
editing and making changes to my magazine Front covers and double page
spreads. I have then made these changes using Photoshop in order to create my
final Front cover and double page spread.
I have also explored the fonts that will be created in my final products,
furthermore, I have also included my production plan and the deadlines I had to
make in order to publish the magazine.
During my post-production skills-front cover, I have explored ways where I have
used in order to create it such as the ruler tool, this tool is used in order to
layout the magazine and to demonstrate where everything would go.
