Production plan

4. Why I chose these deadlines
The reason why I have chosen these deadlines is
because it is during the summer holiday period.
This means that people will be on holiday so
they most likely wont be able to buy a copy until
they are back. The reason why it released on the
1st of September is because that is when
students go back to school. This means that they
are able to purchase

5. Post production skills
The following applications are what I used in the process of making my
magazine front covers and double page spreads.
• Photoshop
• InDesign
On Photoshop I used tools such as the ‘text tool’ in order to make the banners
and logos. I also used things like the quick selection tools in order to crop out
the background of the images in order to place in a colored back ground.

6. The tools that I used in InDesign was tools like
the eye dropper tool to keep a consistent color. I
also used tools like the quick selection tool so I
could crop the background out of the image and
insert a different background. i used the text
tool to get my masthead and I also used the
bucket tool and gradient tool so I could get an
interesting looking background.

7. Proof reading and sub editing
When writing for the interview for the double
page spread I used spell checker in order to
make sure that all of the spellings were correct
before I put it onto InDesign. Also it was
important to proof read my work so everything
makes sense and is worded correctly before
publishing the final copy.

8. House styles for rhythm
The colour of the rhythm magazine is grey and red. This is because it is similar to the
magazine of inspiration, furthermore the two colour go well together and therefore
makes it visually appealing to the audience.
This colour scheme will be carried out throughout the whole magazine to show that it
has a consistent house style.

9. House styles for beat
The colour of the rhythm magazine is black and yellow. This is
because the two colours contrast well and they look good when
there is an even amount of each colour on a page.
This colour scheme will be carried out throughout the whole
magazine to show that it has a consistent house style.

10. I have chosen this font style because it is easy to read and it is
easy to remember. This is good because then when people see it
in the shops they can recognise it easily.

11. The reason why I have chosen this font style is because it is bold
and stands out. It is good to have this feature on a title page
because people will find it easier to see the magazine amongst
other magazines on a shelf.

12. Witness statement
The yellow highlighted words are the areas that I need to improve on and the green
highlighted words are areas I did well in

13. Witness statement
I also got EBI (even better if) and WWW (what went well) feedback so I know what
I need to improve on and what I can do better

14. Conclusion
In this unit I have shown the production plan
and the reason as to why I have chosen the
specific dates. I have also added the tools and
applications I used in the process of making the
pages and how I utilized them in my work.
Furthermore I have added a witness statement
and the final color scheme and font styles for
the magazine

15. Hazard in the work place
Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974. Often referred to as HASAW or HSW, this Act of
Parliament is the main piece of UK health and safety legislation. It places a duty on all
employers "to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare at
work" of all their employees.
