Unit 30: LO3

Photos for TeensRule
With my first
magazine, I
decided to go
for
complimentary
colours that
would enhance
the quality of
the magazine,
along with the
helpfulness of
props that
would identify
the public that
my first
magazine would
relate to the
musical
industry.

Before I edited my
images, my originals
had the school logo.
The nest slide
presents how I
altered the
appearance.
I achieved this
through the use of the
‘Stamp Tool’ which
helped me blend the
logo with the rest of
the image.

In Photoshop, I edited
the logo out of my
models hoodie, this
give the clothing more
of a simplistic
appearance. Which is
what I am aiming for
with my first
magazine.

My interview has been inspired by the magazine Billboard. I would like to create an interview in the various different ways, such as different questions and answers. The use of including an interview in my magazine, will attract the
public readers to it because, of the revealing background information about the artist. As well as bring out the understanding of what an interview is like and what kind of replies I would get.
Q1. Hi Theodore, how is your day going?
Hello Patrice, oh and you can call me Theo and my day is going great, a little crazy and chaotic, but all is going great. How are you?
Q2. I’m doing great thanks for asking. So, in relation to our next months issue, I heard that you will be on tour for two weeks. Shall we talk about it?
Sure, I would love to talk about my upcoming tour. I cannot believe that I’m starting in two days, then it’s off travelling around the world to different countries and enjoying the concerts. Mostly the late night shows with all the bright
lights and loud music. I really enjoy going on tour, I mean besides the long plane and bus journeys, it’s really worth it cause I love making my fans happy. It’s always a fun time to travel.
Q3. Oh, well your really excited then. With this upcoming tour, what are you most excited for?
(Pauses and thinks) The one thing I’m really excited for is that I get to see all my fans on stage, and at the meet and greet after the show. I really love all the hugs and kisses. I receive even small gifts I get from all the cute little
ones. I absolutely adore meeting my fans, cause it feels like they are part of my family, as well as being just a face in the crowd. Whenever I go on tour, I am always excited to see all the new faces and sometimes recognise a few.
But yeah, I am always excited to see my ‘Theodore Squad’ (laughs). It just makes my day as well as everyone else's.
Q4. That’s so cute (Theo blushes). And when you go on tour. What are your most needed essentials?
Well, that’s a difficult one but, my most likely needed essentials are, to always have a small pillow, cause, you know, ya boy Theo always has to be comfy (laughs). But really, I do need a pillow, some snacks and water of course
because I gotta keep yourself hydrated. And whenever I go on tour it is just like non-stop rehearsals and interviews; but to be honest I love interviews more than rehearsals and that’s why I need my energy and nutrients… Also,
my phone is my most needed essential. I always have a few minutes before I go onstage and after the show, before I go on the bus or head off to an interview; I manage to send a text my close friends, my girlfriend or a family
member, and see how they are doing. For me it’s also a must to listen to some jammin’ tunes… Oh and I almost forgot, if I don’t have a blanket with me, I must have a jacket to keep myself warm and comfy throughout my tour.
Q5. Wow, that’s a lot of items (Theo smiles in embarrassment). Ok, well then, since you sometimes travel by bus or plane, what is the most needed item?
Oh that one is easy, as addictive as this may sound and many may agree with me, I must have my phone on me, because, no matter how my day is going, I will always have enough time to text or call my family and friends; chat
on the updates on the latest family news along with my own updates on where I am on tour, where I will be going, and if I got them a few gifts. My phone is my most needed essential, besides listening to tunes and scrolling
through Facebook and twitter, I do have a little spare time to listen to an audiobook while planning my next music piece.
Q6. That’s really sweet Theo. (Theo smiles) So when you travel, what do you really miss when you go on tour?
Every time I go on tour to a new country and onstage to see all my fans; after the concert I really miss their smiling faces and sometimes hear the out of tune singing voices (chuckles)..… but, the saddest thing about going on tour
is that it feels like I only have a limited amount of time with them, then leave the next day or the day after; it can vary sometimes depending on how busy my schedule is, but (sighs) it’s a shame that I probably might not see many
of them for a very long time. (pauses)
Q7. I see, but to lighten the mood a little. (Theo smiles) I have heard that many other celebrities bring a surprise guest to appear on stage at a few of their concerts. Will you be bringing any surprise celebrities?
I am really tempted to tell you guys who I’m bringing to appear on stage at my concert in California, but I’m trying not to give any spoilers but, I might be bringing a few people to appear on stage, maybe on this upcoming tour I
might have someone appear.
Q8. Ooo I can’t wait. And you’ve been to many countries over the past few years correct? (Theo nods in agreement). So, what is your favourite country you have visited?
Oh.... that’s a tough one but, my absolute favourite country would have to be Paris, cause of course the city of love (blushes). It is always an amazing tour of exploring the most popular landmarks, like the Eiffel Tower. But I also
like to get myself a little croissant here and there (laughs). But when it comes to the late night shows, the crowd goes wild and I do remember on one of my tours two years ago, I could hear most of my lyrics being sung in French.
Q9. (Laughs) Well that is actually kind of adorable. (Theo smiles) And every time you go on a new tour, what is it that you would likely change about it if you could?
I would really like to change how long I get to stay in that country for. Cause I only get a limited amount of time, a maximum of one and a half days. But mainly, I would like to extend the time by a few days, cause it would be nice
to explore and meet new people, or run into familiar faces.
Q10. Do you ever get any worries when you go on tour?
In my opinion, I worried fifty percent of the time. And to be honest, on stage I’m afraid that I would fall, and probably rip my pants or break my mic. (Gives an embarrassed expression) But when traveling or before I set of, I check
the news and I sometimes see car accidents or an update on bad weather, and I’m afraid that I may encounter an accident and start to panic a little.
Q11. I understand. But do you have any plans for when you finish your tours?
(Smiles) My main plan is, to get as much sleep as possible (laughs) but also try and spend as much time with my friends and family after being away with them for quite some time.
Okay, thank you for your time and I hope that we see each other again in the future.
Alright, and thank you Patrice for your questions. I absolutely loved answering them and I hope to you see you in the future as well.

Production Process of ‘RockStars’
Magazine
STEP ONE
1. Open up Adobe Photoshop CC 2015.5 and go to; ‘File, New, International Paper, A4, RGB Colour and OK
2. Before I began editing and creating my magazine front cover, I needed to create a border in which I will be able to position my Main
Image, Masthead, Cover Lines etc. I achieved this by pressing ‘Cmd R’, which then presented the ruler border, by clicking and dragging on
the ruler I was able to align my border for my magazine front cover. After template and borders have been created, I wanted my background
to have a gradient effect. Therefore, with the use of the ‘Gradient Tool’, by pressing ‘G’ and holding shift, I dragged my mouse from the top of
my template to the base while holding down shift. This helped me create a straight line, which resulted in the gradient effect of black and
white.
In the next stage of this LO. I must represent my step by step guide as to how I created my magazine front cover.
Each step will be accompanied with a screenshot as to reveal the appearance of the stages of my production.

Magazine
STEP TWO
1. After taking multiple images of my model, I chose my final image and opened it on a separate template. Selecting the quick selection
tool, I selected the main image leaving a small gap around the candle flame (which is what I wanted to keep in colour) and went to;
‘Image, Adjustments, Black and White.
2. I deselected my image and again with the ‘Quick Selection tool’ I selection the entire image of my model and copied (Cmd C) and
pasted it onto my background (Cmd V) onto a new layer name ‘MAIN IMAGE’. Along the ‘Move tool’ (M), I moved my image and placed it
in the centre of my magazine template.

STEP THREE
1. The next stage in creating my magazine front cover was inserting my magazine masthead/ brand name: ‘RockStars’. However, I
wanted my masthead to present my chosen music genre of ‘Rock’. Therefore, with the helpful website ‘DaFont.com’ I was able to search
and experiment with different font styles that would relate very well to my magazine front cover. After experimenting with a variety of
different font styles, I finally chose the font style ‘The Blacklist’ which in my opinion presented the rock vibe.
2. When I inserted my masthead, I wanted to present the inspiration that I gained from my two inspiration magazines: ‘KERRANG’ and
‘RESPECT’, therefore, I decided to place my main image in front of the masthead, by: Going into layer and dragging the ‘Main Image’
layer and placed it below my ‘Masthead’ layer. The final results depict the inspiration that I gained to the magazine ‘RESPECT’
3. With my ‘Masthead’ layer, I double clicked on the layer and edited the; ‘Texture, Inner/ Outer Glow, Inner and Outer Shadow’ etc. Until
I came with the outcome that I wanted on my front cover.

STEP FOUR
1. Next, with a simpler font style, I created a new layer; which I labelled ‘STRAPLINE’ and after getting inspired from other magazine
straplines, I decided to create my known strapline that would be simplistic but out there.
2. I decided that with my ‘ANCHORAGE TEXT’ layer, I wanted to include an eye- catching title that would draw the public to the front cover.
3. However, with my ‘COVERLINE’ layers I experimented with the different coloured text, by staying within my colour scheme of; Black, White,
Grey and Red. Therefore I created five different cover lines, each containing a maximum of two font colours and having the same font style.

Magazine
STEP FIVE
1. I also decided to include a ‘PUFF PROMOTION’ in which I got inspired from the magazine ‘KERRANG’, with the indication of “WIN” and this
would therefore attract the public eye, as I tried to follow the layout of my magazine.
2. Finally, I added a barcode accompanied with; social media icons, web address, issue date and price. I also added an additional white box,
which enhanced the visibility and quality of the magazine front cover further.
3. After following my hand drawn draft and graphic layout, I managed to achieve the final result of my magazine front cover. As the borders
were a very useful way of helping me. I presse Cmd. H to hide the borders. This then presented me with a clear and clean end result, and
because of this, the alignment of my content was straight and organised.

Production Process of ‘RockStars’ Magazine STEP ONE
1. By starting with the same ‘International Paper’ layout, I was able to create the dps canvas by doubling the canvas size.
2. After creating the canvas size, I then create a rough border of the magazine dps, by pressing ‘Ctrl R’ - the ruler tool, in which I was
able to create a successful border around my magazine and then with the ‘Rectangular Marquee tool’ and with the ‘Subtract from
selection’ I drew the outline and with the ‘Paintbrush tool’ I then paint the selected area.
3. Once I completed that I pressed ‘Ctrl H’ which hides the blue ruler outline, which I was therefore able to see the neat border.

quote/ anchorage text.
2. I selected the rectangular shape tool and drews a box, which I then created a gradient with the ‘Gradient tool’, I wanted the
gradient to resemble the colour scheme, therefore I went for the colours of red and black.
3. After creating my backsplash box, I then inserted my text, as shown in the top right screenshot, I chose the colour yellow as
this will be enhanced by the gradient backsplash.

width from each other, as each paragraph resembled a new layer.
2. However with the text on the right, I had to change the format and also align each
paragraph to be equal from the text on the left.
3. Each layer of text contained the same font style of ‘Arial’ and the same text size of
roughly between ‘9 and 12’
4. As presented in the last screenshot on the left, I decided to add a quote from the artist,
which is indicated in bright blue, I also did this with the same font size and font style.
5. After I completed my dps, I pressed ‘Ctrl H’ to hide to blue ruler outline, which then
helped me see the final resulted

magazine ‘RockStars’

Backpage Advertisement - Step by Step - Step One

then created a ruler scale, and with my mouse I then placed the light blue lines around my magazine to create the border.
3. By selecting the ‘Gradient Tool’ on the left-hand side toolbar, I selected the black to white gradient effect.
4. To create the effect (as shown above) I started off the template and dragged down by holding ‘Shift’ (which keeps the line straight) until
I reached about half a centimeter from the bottom and this then created the final result as shown above.

Production Process
Date of
Publication
Managing the
Schedule
Editorial and Budgetary
Decision
Content Acquisition
The first thing to do
is to set up the date
of publication; the
issue date of the
magazine when it is
released to the
public. Once the
date is established,
you are now
operating with a
schedule. A
schedule that is the
plan as to how you
are going to go
about the production
process and when
of the process will
occur.
An extremely important step
that should not be taken for
granted, especially when it
comes to the production of
the magazine. If the
magazine wants to be
produced successfully, then
the schedule must properly
be managed. The schedule
must be made in such as
way that there are
provisions for the certain
mishaps that may occur.
When these mishaps occur,
you can always meet the
deadline. This is the reason
as to why a proper
management of the
schedule is very vital.
The next step in the production
of a magazine is the editorial
decision. These involve the the
magazine’s editorial team
assembling and deciding on
the topics that will be covered in
the next issue. The editorial
team is about talks about the
various contents that make up
the magazine. After deciding
which article ideas/topics, new
stories, illustrations and
photographs, the team then
make the budgetary decisions,
but looking at how much
money is available and how
much money will be spent
towards the production of the
magazine.
The content acquisition process is
arguably the most important step, this is
because without content, there would
simply be no magazine in the first place.
There are two major ways that content
can be gathered. The first is through in-
house staff writers (work inside the
industry, eg. research) and the second is
through external writer (news reporters)
that are commissioned to write on the
topics that are specialist in nature. At this
stage, it is the artwork graphics which
are also worked on. The artwork is also
defined as illustrations and pictures that
undergo this process and then placed in
the magazine. In simpler ways,
Graphics are the images/pictures that
are designed with a computer program.

Production Process (continued)
Sub-editing Page Layout Proofreading Distribution
Sub-editing focuses on one
major priority, Quality Control.
If the media organisation is
large enough, to contain a sub-
editor, then this person is going
to be responsible for this job; if
there is no sub-editor, then the
editor does this job. This step
involves the following;
● Checking the accuracy of
all the facts in the article
● Making sure that words are
properly spelled
● Grammar and
Punctuation is used
correctly
● All articles follow the
house-style
● Working on the page
layout
In big publications, there is a
special team that is
responsible for the page
layout; this team is known as
the Layout staff. Their job is
to typeset and layout the
various pages that come
together to make a
magazine.
In the performing of this task,
the team uses a powerful
Desktop Publishing
Program (DPP/DTP) such as
InDesign or Pagemaker. It is
at this stage that Adverts
from advertisers are placed
into the content.
After the page layout is
complete, the next stage is to
proofread.
The editorial department will
print out a hardcopy of the
magazine for the sole purpose
of reading through the
magazine to find and correct
any mistakes.
It is easier to proofread a
hardcopy than to proofread a
soft copy
Any mistakes that are spotted
is quickly corrected on the
DTP file. The editorial team
keeps proofreading, until a
member of the team is
satisfied that all the mistakes
have been corrected.
The final stage of the entire
process. With the printing
company having finished with
the continuous printing of the
magazines, they are then
packaged neatly and sent to a
warehouse, for international
transport and storage. After
the magazines have been
stored in the warehouse for a
short amount of time, the
copies are then taken out of
the warehouse and distributed
to the public, via the post or in
a shop.

Issue Date: 07/07/2018
Why?
Why did I choose this Issue date? What could affect the issue date? Why would this date be appropriate for
my target audience?
Why would this magazine be suitable for
this issue date?
-For my first magazine, I decided to go
for the issue date of a week or two into
the summer holidays. I choose this date
because my target audience, may or
may not be quite active; this would
therefore allow me to release my
magazine to the public that would
interest them to view my magazine, in
the locations of a widely populated
areas. The issue date of the summer
break may increase the number of
issues released and bought; therefore
this may help the company with their
increase in profit that would benefit the
production process of the magazine.
-Along with my second magazine, I also
decided to choose the issue date of
during the summer holidays because,
this is when most of the population will
be on vacation, and by selling a new
product to the public may allow them a
chance to review the music magazine.
-As my first magazine is aimed at the
young target audience of the ages 14-
29, the date of release a few weeks into
the summer holidays, would be suitable
for those who would like to be
entertained and also have an interest in
the release of a new magazine would
anchor the public to view my first
magazine. By having my magazine
released to the public on this date was
because, of the content contained within
my magazine would be interesting and
also anchor the public to my magazine,
as such the content would relate quite
well to the theme of summer; due to the
bright colours involved and the images
include might also relate to the mood of
summer.
-As for my second magazine, my target
audience for this magazine is aimed at
the slightly older generation of the male
public with the age range of 16-22,
factors that may affect the date of
release could be the effectiveness of the
number of copies launched and sold.
-With a young target audience, this may
interest the viewer to read my
magazine, because, of the genre: hip-
hop; the young target audience may be
attracted to the magazine, with the
likelihood of the content, containing
information that would entertain those
who may be interested in music.
As of the release of summer vacation,
this issue date would be appropriate for
my target audience because, teenagers
would have the chance to gain
inspiration, or to be entertained by the
musical genre.
-In comparison to my first magazine,
this issue release date would also be
suitable for the older male public as of
the summer vacation season, this may
allow them to have the entertainment of
a music magazine with content that
relates to the spectacle of the ‘Rock’
genre.
-My target audience, which is normally
based on the young generation of
today’s population, is mostly likely to be
interested along the musical aspect of
information, in relation to the musical
industry of hip-hop and pop music; in
relations to the use of bold and bright
colours, this magazine would be
suitable for a launch date of a few
weeks into summer vacation, the young
public would be anchored into the
magazine as well as its content.
-With the theme of black and white, the
slightly older generation is most likely to
be anchored into a magazine that would
have a release date of a few weeks into
the summer holidays. By having a
release date that is the same as my first
magazine, this could provide the public
with a variety of choice between the two
magazines.

Printing Quotes and Cost https://print24.com/uk/product/magazines/
As each magazine will cost £20.35 to print and produce, this may affect the costing
price of the printing 2000 copies of my magazine every month.
Overall, this may have an impact on the profit and loss that the company have
benefit from this, or may have a problem with. Along with no additional properties
added to the magazine, such as: what the ‘Refinery Cover’ will look like.
With the reasonable pricing of printing each magazine individually, this could affect
the profit gained from selling the magazine every month.
In addition, having my magazine produced and delivered within a suitable time and
within the UK will be beneficial with the monthly issue date for the magazine.
Each magazine
will cost a
Total of £20.35
By selling a total of
2000 copies of the magazine
The Total price will cost
£1,832.63
With the price of producing and printing 2000 copies every month, this may affect
profitable money gained that the money loss. From each magazine costing £20.35 to
print and having to produce 2000 copies will result in the expensive price shown
above of £1,832.63 with the additional cost of the delivery. However, the company
have a slight advantage of the having the magazines produced and delivered in the
UK; similar to the production of each magazine individually.
With the reasonable pricing of £1,800.00 + is due to the features that will included
into each magazine; for instance, the glossy property cover and the matt contents,
with the additional coated art paper would help with the distribution of the magazine.

Profit and Loss Breakdown
Background Advertising Marketing Equipment Cost
My magazine will have a
buying cost of £3.50 and
therefore with this
affordable price would
increase profit in the
distribution of copies sold.
As for a magazine costing a
reasonable price, the
advantage of selling
roughly 2000 copies of my
magazine monthly,the
result in having 1500
copies sold, will result in
500 copies loss of not
being distributed.
Furthermore, as presented
in the ‘Pricing’ column, the
printing quotes and the cost
of the magazine will cost a
price of £20.35 each, which
will result in the
achievement of buying and
distributing 2000 copies of
the magazine will result in
the total cost of £1,832.63.
Each magazine that would
be sold in ideal locations
that would be suitable for
the magazine will cost
£3.50 to buy, which will
result in the profit of £7,000
I plan to distribute my
magazine in popular
locations, for instance;
WHSmith and local
supermarkets such as
‘Tesco’ and ‘Sainsbury’s’
Along with the distribution of
my magazine being sold in
local areas, I plan to sell my
magazine in the mail, as well
as download from the
magazine international
website.
Due to this, the magazine
would increase in profit as of
the £3.50 pricing. Although
advertising my magazine
would be a challenge the use
of distributing my magazine
in popular locations and other
branches that could increase
the profit of the magazine,
this would result in the
beneficial indication of the
magazine and help the
company and the production
of the magazine itself.
Therefore, the total overall
cost of advertising the
magazine will equal a total of
£230,683.
With a helpful magazine
production company, the
advantage of Marketing the
magazine would also increase
the profit and the distribution
of the amount of magazines
being sold each month every
year. However with only 2000
copies of the magazine being
produced and distributed; the
Marketing and Finance
member will have the
advantage of indicating the
magazine in a variety of
different locations; online and
in store.
Along with the usefulness of
an organised magazine
production team; having a
‘Marketing and Finance’ team
and team leader, will allow the
magazine to have a positive
outcome profit of creating
awareness and social
interaction to boost the profit
and sales of the magazine.
Finally, the distribution of the
magazine would include the
retail costs of where I could
sell my magazine and
increase the profit gained.
By planning and
contributing the price of
the production of the
magazine, this would
result in the amount and
pricing plan of how much
the production of the
magazine will cost and
the result of the
distribution will cost.
Pricing
● Along with the payment weekly salary
of the staff,
● Costing price of the production of the
magazine
● Costing of how much each magazine
costs
● The standard delivery of 2000 copies
The pricing of the production company of
producing the magazine will result in the the
advantage of profiting from the magazine,
however the loss of affording how the
magazine will be produced and distributed.
Along with the additional production of the
magazine and the costing of the printing
quotes and cost, the magazine company
would loss profit, due to the high pricing of
printing 2000 magazines, and printing each
magazine individually.
Along with the pricing of the equipment cost,
the profitable loss will have an effect on the
overall loss that the magazine company will
gain and will lose in the span of one year.
As shown in the next slide, the overall
breakdown of the how much the company will
profit from and what the company will lose
money from.

Target Audience
In relation to my proposal, I plan to aim my magazine towards the younger demographic audience, as
the content and interests would relate more towards them.
With this young demographic audience I aim to project my magazine towards the male and female
audience age of between 15 and 24; I decided on this large age range because, my content would
specifically relate to their likes and interests.
As previously stated in my proposals, I have briefly explained each audience theorist: Hartley, Katz and
Maslow, and explained each specific focal point as to how this would relate to my magazine best.
From the specific topic of Age, Gender, Stereotypes and Socio-economic needs, I wanted my magazine
to portray content and images that would best suit my magazine and the aimed audience readers.

Conclusion
To conclude this Unit, I have done previous research through the units that I have research and
studied and have come to the realisation that the planning of a magazine consists of a lot of
breakdown processes throughout the production stage of the magazine; and therefore with my
magazine the research and planning concludes the analysis of creating my magazine.
Throughout each unit that I have researched and completed the overall outcome was to relate to
the aim of the Unit; in this case: “UK Media Publishing”.
The many key stages within this LO, for instance, Calendar Events, ASA and IPSO and Copyright
are examples of the key features needed to understand the planning and producing of a
magazine as well as other additional key topics such as; Risk Assessment and Profit and Loss,
as these are needed to understand the budgeting costs to provide the company and create and
magazine.
