This document contains a proposal for a diving magazine project. It includes details about the target audience, which is mainly male between 26-55 who enjoy swimming, diving and photography. It also lists a schedule for the project which involves conducting research, production experiments, pre-production planning, production tasks like gathering and editing photos, and evaluation. The concept is to create a magazine front cover and double page spread on underwater photography and scuba diving. Feedback will be gathered from three people on the final product.

Working Title: Divers Delight
Audience: My project is targeted towards an audience that likes swimming, diving and
photography. 84% of my readers will most likely be male between the agesof 26-55. I will
Try make my product appeal to this age group by including a list of different activities
suitable for a wide range of people. My target audience leansmore towards married upper
class people, usually in full time employment with discretionary spending. I assume a large
percentage of my readers will be planning to travel to an off-shore diving location each year
and will most likely be accompanied by a companion who also dive s as well. To get these
people to buy and read my magazine, I can include a list of new off-shore and shore diving
locations with a list of what each one has to offer. Divers are usually adventurers and when
not diving will be looking for other adventure like activities to enjoy. To accommodate this, I
will have a page at the end of the magazine of activities that will be coming up in the next
couple of months with a few pointers on how to get involved and what it will include.
Rationale (approx. 100 words) In my opinion, I think I have made good progress throughout
the course of the past month while doing my final project because of the production
experimentswhere I had to over step my boundaries and do something completely new. I
have made some progress throughout the other rotations, but nothing that I thought really
stood out to me as something that I would want to make again. I acquired the skill of photo
manipulation in Photoshop as well as how to properly edit sound into a mute video. The
year has been an interesting one and I’m looking forward to learning new techniques and
won’t be worried about trying or putting effort in. Overall, I think that I have learnt a lot over
the course of this year and am willing to learn more through next year as well.
Project Concept (approx. 200 words) The concept for my project is photography
underwater. However, I’m tied between that and photo manipulation after I did an
experiment to try for this project. The research I will need to conduct for my final project is
going to be looking up magazinesof diving, and photo manipulation adverts/posters. My
plan is to make a poster and a magazine front cover and double page spread on underwater
photography and scuba diving in general. I’m not 100% sure what I’m going to do yet
because diving recently hasn’t been possible due to certain issues.
Evaluation (approx. 50 words) To evaluate my work, I will look over everything I have done
in this project and explain the processes that I went through and how I thought it went. I will
then get Feedback from three different people on what they liked and disliked about the
product as well aswhat I could do to improve on it.

Schedule
WEEK OVERALL PLAN SPECIFIC TASKS
1 Initial Response +
Proposal
 Complete mind maps
and mood board.
Gather 15 images
and describe what
they have in common
as well as the
components you will
use in your final
product.
2 Product + Audience
Research
 Research audience
and send out survey
to people to get
results of what people
like. Gather at least
10 survey responses
as well as 3/5
interviews.
3 Production Experiments  3 experiments
exploring new ideas
and techniques that
will make you learn
new skills and push
you to try something
you haven’t done
before. Evaluate and
explain how you
created the
experiment and if you
would try something
similar or add parts of
it into your final
project. Describe how
you made the
experiments by
talking about the tools
that were used, the
different colours and
how it felt after you
finished it. Link it bac
to style sheet and
make it relevant to
your plans for final
product.
4 Pre-Production and
Planning
 proposal, planning
what to do and having
a final idea before
production starts.
Make sure the
proposal and pre-
production is detailed
and up to date to get
a good
5 Production  gather photographs
and put them on to

the computer using
the SD card. Make
sure all the
photographs are high
quality and not blurry
and then back them
up on a USB as well
as the computer.
6 Production  put the photos into
Photoshop and start
editing using tools
and techniques
learned while doing
experiments.
7 Production  finish editing and
save the photos as a
jpeg file to add onto
the production
process PowerPoint.
Talk about the
processes the tools
used to get a better
grade. Use technical
terms to describe the
work.
8 Production  Talk about my
processes and what I
thought of the overall
product as well as
what could be
improved.
9 Evaluation  Evaluate my project
fairly and unbiasedly.
Make sure to talk
about the good things
and the things that
could be improved.
Maybe get someone’s
opinion and make a
note of what they say
so that next time you
could use that
feedback to create
something even
better

Contingency
 Finish up all written
work and put it on my
blog as a new post.
Make sure to save
regularly and publish
at the end.
