Thomas Moore is creating a magazine about old Japanese cars and street racing culture in Japan during the 1980s-early 2000s. The magazine will feature articles and double page spreads discussing street racing gangs and car culture. Moore chose this topic because he has had a passion for 1980s-90s car culture since childhood. The target audience is males ages 15 and older, as that is when many get interested in cars. Moore plans to sell the magazine in bookstores to prove he can complete a magazine and showcase his typography skills.

2. Pre-
production
• What are you making? (explain what you have been asked to do)
• -in my final project I am creating a magazine that is based around old fashioned Japanese cars
and it has articles and double page spreads about the culture of the car scene in the 80s and
90s to early 2000s in my articles I will talk about the street racing gangs that ruled the streets of
japan and how they hid their identity to the rest of the world. And on my other double page
spreads I will have a photo gallery with mostly pictures and little words since the articles will be
very word heavy.
• Why? (What is the purpose of making your Film)
• -the reason for me making this as my final piece is because ever since I have been a kid, I have
had a massive passion for the car culture of the 80s and 90s and with doing a magazine I
haven't gone a magazine yet and I would like to do one so that I can prove to myself that I can
do a magazine. Another reason why I wanted to do a magazine is because in my past projects I
have done more visual products and I want to do a product that includes heavy typography so
that going into my second year I have covered most areas and won't be in the dark by anything.
• Who is it for? (Audience)
• -my audience that I am aiming for with this project is more of a younger audience but over the
age of 15 the magazine and the type of genre will appear more towards men, but my magazine
is not fully focused on a male audience. The reason I have chosen this age range as my target is
because in the car community this age of 15 and above is when you are looking at first car
options and you are really getting into the world of cars.
• Where will it appear/on what? (How will audience see it)
• - my magazine will appear in bookstores and be sold anywhere that it can be sold I will make
my magazine
• stand out from the average magazine and that’s how I will target my audience for the
magazine.

4. Pre-production:— image style sheet
On this slide I have a style sheet for my images and
the type of images that I am going to use for my
magazine all the images here I have got off pintrest
and the reason I have for getting these type of
images is because these images are old and form the
80s and 90s japan car scene and they are very raw
photos with no or very little editing. It makes the
photo look very vintage and that is very much the
look that want to do for when doing my front cover
and my double page spread.

5. Pre-production:—font style sheet
On this slide I have my font style sheet these are images of
the type of style I want the font to be for my front cover
and some of the titles inside the maagzine. The reason I
like these fonts is because there are very stand out but not
too much in your face, they also help with the 80s vintage
feel that I want for my magazine and I think that having
fontslike this will help me target the audience that I want
for my magazine.

6. Pre-production:— colour style sheet
On this slide I have my colour tyle sheet for my
magazine on this slide I have a wide range of colour
swatches and the reason for this is so that I can
group up colours that work well with each other and
have a knowledge of colours that contrast. I will use
these to help me complete my magazine and I think
the most important part of a magazine Is the colour
and how it looks and by knowing what colours work
well with each other I can create magazine that
looks good and smooth and doesn’t just have
colours that don’t go with each other plastered over
the page.

7. Pre-Production: colour swatches

8. Contingency Planning
Potential Issue Solution
Backache while editing Make sure to take breaks in between editing
Bad weather for taking the right pictures Have an open schedule so that youre not hopping
on one day
Cant get the car that I need for the photos Have a backup plan in case the main one falls
through
Software shuts down while editing Make sure to save the work regularly to avoid
losing it

9. Health and Safety
Potential Issue How will the issue be
avoided?
Getting hit by a car while taking pictures don't stand in the middle of a road without
making sure that the road is clear
The car crashing while taking shots Make sure to have full attention on the road
even when taking pictures
Being in the classroom and getting a electric
shock
Make sure there are no loose wires that can give
a shock and don’t have and liquids near the
computers
Getting eye strain from looking at the screens for
too long
Take regular breaks from the computers
