1. Initial Plans
Josh Bailey

2. Initial Reaction
• My first thoughts and ideas of what to make
was either one of three things. Creating a
magazine focused on TV and Films, a video
game specific or nature centred magazine. I
knew one of these topics would be my
strongest and favourite to produce as I
thoroughly enjoy those medias and industries.

6. Mood Board Analysis
Is there any repetition in the images you have collected?
Repeated colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood
• There are certain similar elements found in a lot of pictures
that I chose to put on my mood board that I think make for a
good magazine. For instance most magazine covers feature
bright colours that attract attention, and big bold mastheads
hence customers can quickly identify the brand.
How will your mood board influence your final product?
• By looking at my mood board I can easily draw influence from
existing products and learn how to put those and similar
aesthetics to work in my front cover and double page spread

7. Schedule
WEEK OVERALL PLAN SPECIFIC TASKS
1 Research, Initial Response,
Audience Research
 Research into similar existing products
and evaluate the pros and cons of each
of them then explain my initial reaction
to what I think of production and what
magazine to make
2 Production Experiments,
Proposal, Planning
 Experimenting in different techniques
and methods are the best away to
improve skills on software like
Photoshop and InDesign
3 Production – Take pictures
And complete the cover
 Planning the photographs well ahead of
time will help save time looking for
locations and angles suitable for being
featured in my magazine.
4 Production – Write article
and complete the double
page spread
 Before developing the layout for my
double page spread in may be better to
first write up my titles, subheadings
and articles to properly judge the size
and display of my pages
