Before making my magazine, it was best
to plan a proposal of what I will be doing.
This screenshot (right) is of the proposal
that I had for VOLUME. This helped me
out because it helped to make it more
official to the ideas that I had for the two
different ideas that I had.
For this, I created a table (1 per
magazine) to pan out some more ideas
to have within my magazine.
For example one of the points I made
within the tables, was ‘Genre’ which
explain the different genre(s) I had within
the two different ideas for the magazine.

My Magazine is called . The main colour of my
magazine will be & because it will go with
who is the artist on the front cover, because VIBE changes
their colours for nearly every magazine they publish to
match the artist on the front cover. This connotes that it
will appeal to my target audience which are teenagers
and/or young adults. The genre of the magazine will be
R&B, Pop and Hip Hop. My slogan of the magazine will be
‘The UK’s number 1 thing to pump up the’ which will be
above the title which will make it look like it is suppose to
say ‘The UK’s number 1 thing to pump up the ’.

Different Names for the
Magazine
Sound beat
Sound beat could be used as
a title because it is relevant
tot the type of magazine I am
creating. It would appeal to
the target audience because
it is relevant to the genre of
the magazine to make it
easier to notice what the
magazine is about just by the
front cover masthead
Rhythm
I thought of this title for the
magazine because this magazine
features R&B music, along with
pop. This would appeal to the
target audience because the
name is relative to the genre of
the magazine so the audience
know what the magazine is
about, not basing it on the front
pictures all the time.
Volume
I chose Volume as my title of
my magazine because it is
relevant to the genre, it is
easy to remember for the
target audience, it can stand
out and it can be easy to use a
slogan (e.g. Pump up the
VOLUME!)
V
I thought of this magazine name
related to the magazine ‘Q’, I chose
‘V’ because ‘V’ could stand for
volume. This would illustrate to the
target audience this magazine is
mainly for teenagers but still for
young adults
Pump it up
I thought of this
magazine name because
of the saying ‘Pump up
the Volume’. I thought
this would emphasize to
the viewers that this
magazine is more to
teenagers
Prime of Sound
I thought of this
title for the
magazine because it
makes the magazine
sound important
and powerful. This
would make the
viewer think this
magazine is the true
nature of the music
they are passionate
about
Sound Wave
I thought of Sound Wave because
it clearly connotes in its title what
it is about. This would appeal to
the target audience because it is a
simple title of which can easily be
remembered and probably stand
out as a magazine masthead
Super-Sound
I thought of Super-Sound
because it connotes to the
target audience what this
magazine is based on. This
would appeal to the target
audience because its
simple and to the point

Different Colours for the
Magazine
Red – (Prime of Sound)
I like the colour red for
the magazine because
again it is eye-catching
to help get new
viewers or to make it
easy for the viewers to
find it more easier.
Blue
I thought of the colour
blue for my main colour
because it relates to
teenagers more than
adults but it can relate to
boys more than girls
Green
Green may be a good colour
for my magazine because it
is different to many colours
other magazines have.
However it may not be eye-
catching for viewers
Orange – (VOLUME)
I like the colour orange for my magazine colour because it is
different to many magazines, because they choose eye-
catching colours or black and white –this also makes it easy
for the viewer to easily spot the magazine as they shall know
Purple
Purple may be a good
colour because its bright
and catches the eye of the
viewer but, it may show it
could appeal more to girls
than boys
Yellow
I like the colour
yellow because it
can easily catches
the eye of the
viewer. I also like
this colour because
it appeals to
teenagers and
young adult (my
target audience)

For my magazine, I intend to position it as a new product launched as it’s
marketplace with hope that over months or years, it will become the market
leader as it gets more and more popular. Furthermore, if the magazine
manages to get more popular I may have more ideas to put in more
information or more things to appeal to the target audience.
My magazine will be mainly competing against Vibe, even though this is what
my magazine is based on. I will be competing with Vibe because Vibe includes
the same genre as my magazine, which may end both magazine doing similar
interviews, so to stop this I will have to make sure my magazine can bet Vibe
of the marketplace.
My target audience will be mainly for teenagers and young adults (13+). My
magazine will appeal to my target audience through the colours and pictures
used within my magazine. My target gender within my magazine will be for
both genders, I will illustrate this within my magazine with the use of colours
and information used which can appeal to them.

For my font style, I used the website
DaFont.com, from this I managed to
get a whole range of different styles
best for my magazine. In the end I
narrowed it down to these four
examples (left). In the end I went
with my final font (circled), I chose
it because I feel that it meets all the
required standards needed for my
magazine (e.g. Related to music,
Eye-catching and different to other
music magazine fonts).

Throughout my magazine, ‘VOLUME’ will
maintain the same colours of orange, and
black. I will also include the logo on every page
possible in the magazine. This maintains a
‘house style’ throughout the magazine and
continuously reminds the reader that they are
reading a ‘VOLUME’ magazine because of the
same colours within each magazine.

Before taking my pictures, I needed a good idea of what I needed for
the two pictures I will be taking for the Front Cover and the Double
page spread and whether I will use props within my pictures.
At first I had the idea of having the model looking sad for the front
cover, because within the article, it was about the artist going through
a tough time in their career so I thought having the model look sad, it
would become more eye-catching for the spectators to find out why
the artist is so upset.
In the end I decided that I will have two pictures of the artist
modelling. This is because it allows the spectator to see their artist
looking their best for the magazine which can connote how my
magazine is a professional magazine. I took both pictures in the
corridor because it has a plain background. I also included no props for
the picture, this is because then I can get 100% focus on the artist only
and is cheaper to fund.

Outfit
• Top Shop Parker Coat (Navy Blue)
• Long-sleeved black cropped top
• Navy Blue Skinny Jeans
Location
Corridor with a plain background

For my location in the corridor, I have had to take
a look to find any hazards to be aware of.
Fortunately, my location was to take the pictures
in the corridor. The hazards I had to take care of
where to make sure the corridor was safe. For
this I made sure to arrange an appropriate time,
make sure the floor wasn’t wet (incase Rhia or
myself could slip over) and that the corridor was
clear of clutter so then Rhia and I could not
accidently fall over any obstacles.
I will not be needing any Props of light. This is
because I will be taking my images in the
daytime, and I would like to have the focus on the
artist, and props may distract that. The model will
be wearing casual clothes for the magazine, this
is because it keeps to the idea of the magazine
being for teenagers and young adults. If they
were to wear something formal, then the
magazine may have the impression that it is for
adults.
Here is the location where I managed to
take the images:

Before taking the pictures of the model,
Rhia, I had to make a photography consent
form that she needed to sign in order for
VOLUME to take the pictures.
This would mean that she gave me her full
permission to being photographed - so that
it would be fine for the image being
published both online and in print.
I found that the best way to gain permission
was to talk to the artist and send an email
describing what they have to wear, the
location and time of the shooting.
Within the form, it said that the individual
who signed the form would allow VOLUME
to take their pictures for promotional
reasons only to the magazine and the
magazine’s website.
As the individual was not over 18 years of
age, the models parent/guardian had to
also sign the form.

As my magazine will be part of the SpinMedia
institution, I have created a page through Photoshop
on their website to demonstrate how the product
will look across the e-media platform.
This will be one of the main ways to recruit people
to work for VOLUME. I have made sure to include on
the page the ident of VOLUME, the first magazine
issue front cover (which will change within each
issue on the website) and some information about
how VOLUME appeals to the public. I think it is
important to have the people, I would be recruiting,
to have the same passion to my magazine and music
as this guarantees that the content VOLUME
publishes is of the highest standard. Finally, I have
included some evidence of synergy with Facebook,
Twitter and Instagram at the bottom of the page to
denote that VOLUME has a Facebook, Twitter and
Instagram page. I have also included VOLUME’s
website URL and the CEO’s (Chief Executive Officer)
contact number.

Social Media:
I have decided to advertise my magazine through social media sites on the internet
(an example of below the line marketing).
I choose to advertise my magazine this way because it is the cheaper option and also
this is the best way to advertise my magazine for the generation who have grown up
with this type of social media knowledge.
Another reason behind having the idea of advertising through social media, is to the
fact that this is a quick and easy way to advertise.

Printing Cost: £8710 for 60 pages
Overall cost of Office supplies: £3064.87
8710 + 3064.87 = 11,774.87
Selling Magazine for: £1.99
I will make 10,000 copies of the magazine
10,000 x 1.99 = 19,900
Photography Studio Rent Cost
Cost: £115
19,900 – 115 = £19,785
19,785 – 11,774.87 = 8010.13
If I manage to make approximately £8010.13

I used a website to help
calculate how much it would
cost for my magazine to be
printed. It came out as £8710,
so if I charge the customers
£1.99 for the magazine, I can
make the money back and also
make a profit

I had different ideas for the
interview. I decided in the end I
would conduct the interview through
and make it in the end giving the
outline of the interview instead of
the Question and Answers. This is
because VIBE didn’t do the Q&A in
their interviews and gave out the
basic outline of the interview to the
spectator with a few quotes and a
picture

I will use these two front cover pictures for my inspiration when I
was planning out what my front cover will look like because this
gives out a good idea of what body language the artist can give
which can relate to what Rhia can do for my front cover of my
magazine, I will mostly be using the Nicki Minaj front cover
because it looks more neat, tidy and professional.

Here is my magazine flat plan. Within
it, it connotes what will be included in
the magazine. Throughout the
magazine I have tried to make sure
the magazine can keep to the subject
of music. It involves articles, Top of
the Charts, Upcoming Gigs and much
more. What I find important within
the flat plan is on page 1, it will have
the picture of next months magazine,
this will illustrate to the reader what
to look for in the shops for the next
issue of VOLUME.

I interviewed Harrison for his opinion for
my magazine. I did this to make sure that
he, as an example for readers, felt that my
magazine could stand up to the standards
that he was looking for to see if he would
actually read my magazine, if available in
shops. For this I asked him a range of
different questions, for example:
• Do you think my price of the magazine
is appropriate?
• Do you like the logo for VOLUME? Why?
• Would you prefer a copy through social
media and websites?
• Would you suggest any articles you
would personally add?

My hand drawn draft is going
to be helpful whilst making my
magazine front cover (and
magazine itself) because it
clearly illustrates where
certain parts of the magazine
should be and final ideas on
how the front page will be laid
out, also the hand drawn draft
gives out certain features (e.g.
colour) which I can use to add
to the magazine itself which
can make it seem more better
to the target audience.

For the Front Cover and DPS I used:
• Camera (Nikon D3100)
• Tripod (Nikon)
• SD Card – 4GB
With all of these resources, I was given permission from Mr Crafts to use the
Camera, Tripod and SD Card to make my Front Cover and DPS.
I used the tripod because it managed to keep the image in focus and straight,
this helped the image not to blur, and it is the professional way to get a
professional picture needed for the front cover

For this unit I managed to find my locations, risks and legal/ethical issues
within my magazine print media product. I also managed to understand
finding the solutions to any risks or issues that I identified. Furthermore, I
have used my understanding of the hazards of where I am taking my pictures
for the magazine. Also I have emailed Mr Crafts to be sure that it is ok for me
to take my pictures outside his classroom in the corridor.

Here is the pictures that I took for the
front cover and DPS of my magazine. I
wanted, within the front cover picture,
my model use the same body language
than the one in my inspiration front
cover from VIBE Magazine. This is
because it makes the artist look as the
main attraction.

Quick selection tool (W) – I used this tool to select the areas needed, then inversed the
selection to crop out the background in order to put on my magazine and look professional
and put the main focus on the artist
Eye-Dropper Tool – The eye-dropper tool is used to pick up a colour value from the canvas
Ruler Tool – This tool was helpful because it allowed me to line up all the layers correctly on
both the Front Cover and DPS – this helped to make the magazine look more professional
Layers – This allowed me to organise my magazine on which layer should be in front of
another Layer (e.g. I had Rhia as an artist in front of the Masthead which connotes how
Rhia is the main story/very important to the music genre)
Mask – I used the mask tool to keep the individual hairs that the quick selection tool could
not keep to keep the picture more realistic and professional to the spectator
Pen Tool – I used the pen tool (P) along with the ruler tool to create the layer boxes that the
text was written in and create my large letter at the beginning of my article (drop capital)
this wrapped text around the drop capital
Text Tool – I used the text tool to write down quotes, advertisements and the article (Also
from this I used different fonts and colours to create a more eye-catching Front Cover and
DPS)
Zoom tool – I used the zoom tool to go into detail of making changes to pictures, writing
and colours

Eye dropper tool
The eye-dropper tool was used within the making of my magazine in order to pick up a
colour value from the canvas so that the house style of the magazine was more
secure.
The eye-dropper tool also managed to help save the colour swatch for my magazine.
This meant I could repeat the exact same colour throughout the making of my
magazine as it could be saved, and labeled, in Photoshop and so I can adapt this for
future editions.

Pen Tool:
The pen tool is a tool that helps to make a perfect line/box layer for an object within
Photoshop. It uses mathematical points to define their shape and other
characteristics.
I used the pen tool (P) along with the ruler tool to create the layer boxes that the text
was written in and create my large letter at the beginning of my article (drop capital)
this wrapped text around the drop capital.
This helped to make new layers and basic outlines for future editions, so that is can be
adapted.

Throughout the time that I had to design my front cover and DPS for VOLUME
Magazine, I labeled certain layers.
This was helpful to me so I could work out where all my layers where, and whether
some layers needed to overlap other layers. This was also helpful because it helps out
for any future designs because the labeled layers will connote where everything is and
where everything should be.
Furthermore, I also linked some of the labeled layers. This was because it helped to
speed up time for me in order to move layers to certain areas, at the same time and in
the same size.

To start off making my magazine, I imported the picture I had earlier taken of my model for
the front cover. Secondly, I put in another picture – the masthead which I had saved as a
jpeg image. From this I managed to put the picture of my model in front of the masthead,
this would give off the impression that my artist is the main focus of this months magazine.
After that, I imported another jpeg picture of a barcode I had saved from the internet and
around it I imported small icons of logos( ) to connote how my magazine has their
own pages on the internet for socialising with and updating about what is included in the
magazine. Also, underneath the barcode I included the date of the release of the magazine
and the publisher’s logo ( ).
Next, I briefly included what is inside the magazine, the artist aside (e.g. ‘Why is Will upset
with his music?’), keeping the font in the same style, size and colour to the other brief cover
lines. To help keep the cover lines away from my main artists picture, I used the ruler and
pen tool to draw textboxes in a neat and specialised way. Then, I made the main headline,
from this I kept the text in the same style, font and colour to the cover lines, but I put the
artist name in a different colour and made the size of her name larger – from this the artists
name is eye-catching and helps the spectator know who the main artist is.
Moreover, I then started to add in the final touches to the front cover. I managed to put the
slogan above the masthead, and the name of the magazines website at the bottom of the
magazine.

Firstly for the making of my DPS, I set out the layout. From this, I used the ruler tool (R) to help design neatly
and to help know where and what I needed to put within it. The first layer I put within my DPS was the second
picture of my artist I had taken, after this I was able to use the pen tool to create the text boxes around the
artist – this managed to illustrate how my artist is the main attraction within my DPS, as well as my magazine
altogether.
Thirdly, I decided to put in the article that I had written for my magazine – making sure they were the same
style, font, colour and size. Within the article I had other quotes, from this I changed the font and colour for the
quotes to connote how this was the artist saying these quotes to the spectator. On top of the article I put the
quote from the artist within the interview, this specific quote was used to sum up the article and was
highlighted in the colour of the artists name (as seen on the front cover) to illustrate how it was the artist said
this quote.
After that, I then decided to put in the main title for the interview in the colour of the front cover’s main colour.
However, I put this title in a different font a size to connote how this not only the title for the magazine, but
also the main article for the magazine. I used some tools throughout the making of my DPS, the ‘Quick
selection tool’ (W) to crop out the background from the pictures that I took, it helped because it selected the
areas needed. Then, I could inverse the selection to crop out the background in order to put on my magazine
and look professional and put the main focus on the artist. Also, the ‘Eye Dropper Tool’ was used to pick up a
colour value from the canvas.
Beneath the article within my DPS, to fill the unwanted space, I decided to add in more, used, quotes from the
artist – this also impacts the situation of the artist to the spectator.
Finally, I put in the stand first. This gave out the brief situation that my artist was in, to help intrigue the
spectator and get an impression of the artist to those who are unaware of who the artist is.

Witness Statement Comments
Mr Crafts Miss Hanks
I think what I did strongly in my pitch was that smartly and
prepared I was for my presentation. This is important because I
wanted to make my magazine to look professional as I was
representing my magazine. I also thought I found myself
prepared as I had rehearsed myself of what I was going to talk
about, also I used a script to help me to remember important
and relative parts for the magazine.
However, to make my pitch better, I would still have to include
more connotations behind the title and more information
(related to the theory of needs) to the audience. With these
points, it could give the audience more of an idea and
understand of my magazine.

After my pitch I managed to receive feedback
on what went well, and how I could improve.
The things on how I could improve was to add
more information to the work.
The first part of feedback was to include any
further templates/other made front cover
designs. I used the outline of the first
magazine I made because that is mainly what I
will use for each magazine, however the
colour may change per issue of the magazine.
The second thing I changed was to add in the
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs theory and Katz -
Uses & Gratifications theory because this was
the best way to discuss the reasons behind my
target audience.
These changes are important to the magazine
because it manages to make it easier for
buyers to understand the magazine better of
what is happening.

Here is the basic outline for the future
editions of my magazine.
This will be helpful for the helpful for
VOLUME to make their future editions of
the upcoming magazines because it will
help to save time by using a template
instead of starting from scratch at the
beginning.
By saving time of the front cover, it can help
put time towards other activities that need
to be done before the next deadline of the
magazine.
Having the magazine labeled, for example
‘Main Headline’ can also help to save time
for people who need to get the magazine
finalized because it clearly states where
everything should be within the magazine
front cover.

Different background Same font
Different angle of font The artist in the same location of the magazine
with similar camera angles
Colours Location of title, barcode and cover lines in the
same place
Main Headline in different place Has a website connoted on the front cover
Artists either looking at the camera or not
looking at the camera
Both have the word ‘New’ in the corner of the
first letter

Here is the Front Cover for my
magazine. What I like about this
Front Cover is that it is filled up with
information that this magazine issue
is including. This is important
because it briefly connotes to the
spectator what this magazine does
and what the magazine is about.
What I also like about this magazine
is the fact that I have included the
logos of Facebook, twitter and
Instagram. This will connote to the
readers that this magazine uses
Social Media to market the
magazine, and they can get involved
more with the magazine.

Here is my Double Page Spread
(DPS). Within it is the main article of
the artist that VOLUME had
interviewed for. What I like about
this DPS is that I have kept the pages
neat, this will give the impression of
professionalism to the spectators.
What is most important to this DPS
is the colour within it. This means
that I have used the same style and
colour that the Front Cover used
which helps illustrate and emphasize
that this is the main article.

In conclusion, I think I managed to make a decent magazine. I managed to find my
location risks and other issues within my magazine print media product. Furthermore,
I have used my understanding of the hazards of where I am taking my pictures for the
magazine. I like how I managed to keep to the subject of music, and managed to keep
to the target audience that I am aiming for, especially through the social pages I
created through Facebook and twitter. However my magazine could be improved by
creating a Instagram page for spectators to get involved in, as well as being another
form of below the line marketing.
