3. Rough Sketches
It is essential for you to crate rough sketches for your
magazine as it enables you to gain stronger ideas and a
better vision of what your magazine will look like and
involve. i used NME magazine to help me and as an
Inspiration as I liked the layout of the text and images and
know that its desired layout will suit my target audience as
NME and I have the same .

5. Font Ideas For Masthead
I used these kinds of font designs and ideas for my
magazine s they are bold, plain, clear and tie into the
same font style as other rival magazines such as NME
and KERRANG!

6. Mast head ideas +
connotations
• A.I.R (alternative, Indie, rock)- I like this abbreviation of ‘AIR’ for my magazines
masthead because it perfectly links in with the genre of indie, rock and alternative.
This would suit my magazine because I am running along the same line as NME
masthead and theme which has three letters as an abbreviation.
• Clash- I like this idea for a name of the masthead of my magazine because it
shows the subject and the music inside, clashes with other current magazines such
as pop, classic, R&B and other ‘indie, rock and alternative genres. This is because
they are outgoing and like to be different and view there opinions, much like NME.
• Simpatico- I chose this to be an option for the masthead and name of my
magazine because it’s a catchy name which would be remembered, it also
symbolises that the magazine is easy and chilled like the music specified, that
everyone loves and wants to buy and read about.
• Pacifier- ‘someone who tries to bring peace’ this would be good for the masthead
and name of my magazine because the bands that are interviewed and talked
about in ‘NME’ and my magazine are calming and peaceful, they aren't too out
there or disturbing, which is like there fans and the target audience.
• PPF (Past, present, future)- this abbreviation would be a good name for my
magazine and masthead because like the ‘AIR’ idea it links perfectly in with the
genre and slogan, which interests my targeted audience and could expand who
wants to buy the magazine because it specifies what it actually involves.

7. My Magazine –
House Style
• I am going to be creating a magazine that is very similar to my choice of magazine
(NME) which follows the genre of rock/indie/alternative.
• I will show that the genre of my magazine is rock/indie/alternative by using NME as
inspiration on the layout and how they style there magazines, this would include images
and text layout which could have an affect of how the magazines portrayed, allowing it
to be its own unique magazine.
• Colour scheme: my colour scheme will be mainly Red, White, and Black with extras to
highlight of yellow and blue. Yellow will also be used as a way to attract the attention of
the reader.
• Photography: many close up photos are used in the magazine. This is because it shows
the individual on a more personal level and to also fill the space to make the subject
more involved.
• Writing style/ language & font: Capital letters will be used on the majority of the words on
the front cover. The most important information or things I will want the target audience
to read first are put in capital letters. Many headings and sub headings are used within
the magazine.
• Overall layout: With the use of colours and text styles/fonts, the overall layout of the
magazine will be slightly informal and very much appeals to men in the 20s. The layout of
the magazine will be well thought out and include everything that the target audience
would want from a magazine of this genre such as gig announcements and interviews.

8. Mood board

9. Draft article -Interview
• Where did the name come from?
-The name comes from my first recollection of hearing music. I spent the first 2/3
years of my life travelling around Australia with my Mum and Dad and my first
remembrance of music was being outside a cafe on the harbor and seeing a
busker playing. He used to play half empty wine bottles like a drum kit! he was
called Catfish the Bottleman. I just thought it was really fitting to name the band
that when we eventually made one.
• Do you think the style of music you play, and the way you play it, has
changed much since first meeting at school in Wales?
-Yeah! When we first started we could all hardly play at all and just used to play
like terrible Beatles covers. When we got a bit tighter as a band and started to
actually learn how to play I got really into writing and I just used to sit write all day.
• Who are your main influences and inspirations?
-lyrics mean more to me than music so the things that influence me are the
people around me. Stuff our Tour Manager just random drunken one liners you
over hear. So I'm more influenced by the people and happenings around me. I’m
inspired by my Granddad and the music he liked and his aspirations.

10. • Do you like the type of crowds and fans you are attracting?
- Most defiantly! Couldn’t ask for better fans! They go crazy and support us
through everything. Even the ones who have been there from the start.. Just
following us around the country. Means the world.
• When was your first album released?
- 'Homesick‘ September 2014
• Where were you formed?
- band that formed in Llandudno, North Wales.
• Who are your main influences and inspirations?
- Lyrics mean more to me than music so the things that influence me are the
people around me. Stuff our Tour Manager just random drunken one liners you
over hear. So I'm more influenced by the people and happenings around me.
I’m inspired by my Granddad and the music he liked and his aspirations.
• When was your first album released?
- Our first album 'Homesick‘ was released in September 2014! i have never been
so excited in my entire life! never did i think we would get this far..This quick!
• What was the worst lie ever told? The worst lie I’ve ever told was…
-I don't know about the worst, but one of the best off the top of my head was that
I was in the Vaccines to the security when they supported Arctic Monkeys a few
years back. We were playing across the road from them and I just thought after
sound check, "I might just blag this y'know!" So they let me through and I went
and invited them to come see us across the road and watched them both tear a
sold out arena up.

15. Photography Plan
• Project: the images for my magazine will be either head shots, or full body shot
so that it makes a statement and make the subject stand out more
depending on what the subject is and who they are and if they are in a
group. My images will be a mixture between black and white, dark colours
and normal colours, nothing too bright (pink) or out of place for my genre. The
aim is for the viewer to be intrigued by the images on the front cover and
inside the magazine because they will tell a story within them selves. The
mood of the images should be set using light and colouring which could
determine the emotion of the subject of what the topic is about.
Head shot Group shot Full body shot

16. Photography Plan
• Project Description: I will be creating a magazine based on music and the
genre of alternative, indie and rock. The magazine I have used for inspirations
is NME, I chose this magazine because its on I choose to read over others such
as Q and Kerrang, this is because it gives my all the information I need to know
about articles, album reviews, gig reports and song lyrics. also bands that are
generally quite small and not mainstream like catfish and the bottlemen.
• My aim is to create a well selling magazine that my target audience will
appreciate and pick over any other magazine within the same genre and
market. I will aim to do this by having eye catching house styles and pictures
that intrigue my targeted audience. I will be using my imagery in a way where
they don’t over power the information and writing within, but help make it
flow and create an image in the audiences head.
• Photographer: Keira Hibbert

17. Test photography
I used these photos as my test photography
because the are natural state photos like
what some of NMEs images are like. I also
used these images because they are not full
body shots, which is a common trait in
NME.

21. •Dates and Timescales – Pre-Production – Production – Post-Production Activities
•For the production of my magazine I need to think of all the costs I will need to pay out for.
This includes computers and software, employers, editors and publishing. For my employees I
will need editors and deputy editors. The lowest payment allowed is £15,000, but editors can
earn up to £25,000 to £40,000 per year. To create my magazine I will be using MAC book pros
by apple, I will need 12 of these for each employee, and this will cost me around £1100. This
will sustain the process of my magazine including the software I will be using which is adobe
suite creative cloud. For the amount of software needed on a yearly basis it will cost me
around £2292 to sustain each computer.
•to create my magazine I'm going to need Computers, Software and Editors. The computers
are essential because I need them for virtually everything revolved around my magazine
such as the structure, to actually create, to promote, to sell and to update. Secondly
software is very important as it will enable me to create my magazine and edit it to a high,
professional quality.
•I got a quote for my magazine on a weekly basis of 1000 copies which will cost around
£2,618.80 to produce which on a monthly basis will cost me £10,475 to produce nationwide
and £52,000 per year. I thought that I would start with a relatively low production number of
1000 to start off with in case my magazine doesn’t take off as well as I expect it to, and if
there is a high demand and my targeted audience like my magazine I can think about
producing more ad gradually getting bigger over time. I will be making a small start off profit
at 0.37p per issue and a £19,240 profit over all yearly profit if all issues sell.
Production plan continued

22. Frequency: The cost of a standard NME magazine ranges
between £2.20- £5.99, my magazine will cost £3.50 on a
weekly release basis . I think this would be a relatively
good price for my magazine as it offers basically
everything NME or Kerrang does, just its not professionally
published or as known to have a high price put on it, so
my audience may not be as willing to pay out too much
for something that’s new, not familiar.
Length: I will be creating 64 pages of my magazine, the
front cover and double page spread. These will all be A 4
sized and 8.5 inches width and 11.2 inches height.
Launch: 5th June 2015.

around you.
• Surrounding environment.
• Loose wiring and trails of wires may be a hazard to tripping over.
• trip over any chairs that are in the way.
• Uneven carpet could be a potential hazard if not notified and taken into
consideration of risk.
• Sharp corners on tables
• Fire exit
• No drinking near computer as if spilt could be dangerous as its electrical.

26. Location Recce

27. Health and Safety Act
• The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 (also referred to as HSWA, the HSW Act, the 1974 Act or
HASAWA) is the primary piece of legislation covering occupational health and safety in Great Britain.
The Health and Safety Executive, with local authorities (and other enforcing authorities) is responsible for
enforcing the Act and a number of other Acts and Statutory Instruments relevant to the working
environment.
• An Act to make further provision for securing the health, safety and welfare of persons at work, for
protecting others against risks to health or safety in connection with the activities of persons at work, for
controlling the keeping and use and preventing the unlawful acquisition, possession and use of
dangerous substances, and for controlling certain emissions into the atmosphere; to make further
provision with respect to the employment medical advisory service; to amend the law relating to
building regulations, and the Building (Scotland) Act 1959; and for connected purposes.
• These health and safety acts apply to the production of my magazine and in the work place of my magazine
production because it lays out the laws and regulations of the health and safety that is relevant to the making of
my product. The regulations that apply to my magazine workplace and production are firstly the activities of the
person- this means they should be doing what they are assigned to do to ensure no risks are put in place and so
that the rules and regulations are clear. Secondly around all equipment such as the paper handlers and
computers- workers should be aware of their surrounding so that they do not become a target of risk to injury due
to the electricity or wiring. Thirdly it is a major factor that needs to be involved in the process of my magazine that
everyone involved is safe in their working environment whether its using machinery, computers or the air they
breathe. lastly , Public liability Insurance is something I need to think about in the process of making my magazine . Public
liability insurance is an essential cover for most types of business. It's especially important for customers to be sure
that your business has the right business insurance.

A poster that looks
similar to this will be
placed around the work
place to ensure everyone
is clear on what rules and
regulations to follow
when in the work place.

requirement.

28. Ethical and Legal and
Regulatory
https://www.ipso.co.uk/IPSO/
http://www.timeincuk.com/terms-and-conditions/
IPSO used to be Press
Complaints Commission

29. Procedure:
• 1. Our remit
• 2. Who can complain?
• 3. Delayed complaints
• 4. Submitting a complaint
Our remit- Most of the complaints IPSO receives relate to editorial material published by member
publications, whether in print or on their websites. This includes:
•Articles;
•Images (including video);
•Audio material on newspaper and magazine websites;
•Readers' letters;
•Edited or moderated reader comments on newspaper and magazine websites.
Who can complain- IPSO will take forward complaints from any individual or organisation that an inaccuracy
has been published on a general point of fact. Where an inaccuracy relates to a specific individual or
organisation, we may be able to take forward a complaint from a third party, but will need to consider the
position of the directly affected party in deciding whether it is appropriate to do so.
Delayed complaints-IPSO is able to consider complaints within four months from the date of the conduct
complained about, or publication of the article. IPSO is not able to investigate complaints about material
published over 12 months before the date of the complaint, even where it remains published on the
publication's website.
Submitting a complaint- note that if IPSO believes that your complaint raises a potential breach of the
Editors' Code, we will send the detail of your complaint to the publication, which will then have the
opportunity to resolve the matter directly. This is to ensure the swift resolution of substantive complaints
wherever possible.

30. Submitting a Complaint

32. • 1. Initial assessment-assess whether it falls within our remit and whether it raises a possible breach of the Code. If not, the Complaints Officer
handling your complaint will write to you to explain the reasons why we are unable to take your concerns forward.
• 2. Referral to the publication-If your complaint raises a possible breach of the Code, and you have not previously exhausted the
publication's own complaints procedure, we will pass on the detail of your complaint to the editor, who should seek to resolve the matter
directly with you. IPSO can take over the handling of your concerns either once the publisher's internal complaints procedures have been
exhausted, or if the matter has not been resolved after 28 days
• 3. The investigation-You will be provided with a copy of the publication's response to your complaint, and given the opportunity to
comment on this. We will also seek to mediate an outcome to your complaint which is satisfactory to you, if appropriate.
• 4. Adjudication by the Complaints Committee-If your complaint remains unresolved, the Complaints Committee will decide whether there
has been a breach of the Editors' Code. In line with our commitment to transparency, the Complaints Committee will take into account
only information which has been seen by both sides to the complaint, and will publish its decision setting out whether the Editors’ Code has
been breached, and why, on our website.
• 5. Remedies-If the Complaints Committee determines that the Code has been breached, it can require the publication of its upheld
adjudication and/or a correction. The nature, extent and placement of corrections and adjudications will be determined by the
Complaints Committee.
• 6. Review of the process-If your complaint proceeds through steps 2 through 5 but you are unhappy with the process by which the decision
of the Complaints Committee was made, you may request a review by the Complaints Reviewer. IPSO will then decide whether to refer the
complaint to the Complaints Reviewer. If the referral is made, the Reviewer will review the process by which the decision was made, and
inform the Complaints Committee within 14 days whether it considers that the process was substantially flawed
• 7. Complaints which are not pursued-IPSO expects both publications and complainants to cooperate with it in the prompt consideration of
complaints. Should we not receive an initial response to correspondence, we will generally contact you with a further request for a reply
within a specified time period. If we do not receive a substantive reply within the specified period, we may close your complaint as not
pursued. Alternatively, the Committee may proceed to consideration of the complaint without the benefit of your comments.
• 8. Unacceptable behaviour by complainants and vexatious complaints-IPSO does not expect its staff to tolerate unacceptable behaviour
by complainants. Unacceptable behaviour may involve vexatious or disproportionate pursuit of a complaint. It also extends to any other
behaviour that, because of its frequency or nature, hinders IPSO’s ability to handle complaints effectively, including:
• i. using abusive, offensive, aggressive, racist or foul language in conversation or correspondence with staff;
• ii. harassing, verbally abusing or seeking to intimidate staff;
• iii. engaging in unreasonably protracted or repetitive communications with staff;
• iv. attending IPSO’s offices and seeking to speak with a member of staff without an appointment;
• v. repeatedly refusing requests by staff to follow IPSO’s procedures, despite having been provided with appropriate information about
these procedures;
• vi. making persistent and/or unreasonable demands of staff and/or the complaints process.
• e)IPSO reserves the right to take appropriate action in cases where complainants are exhibiting unacceptable behaviour, including by
restricting the manner in which complainants may communicate with IPSO’s staff or declining to further consider a complaint.

33. • How does IPSO apply to your magazine?
As IPSO relates to editorial material published by member publications, whether in print or on their websites. This includes
Articles, Images (including video), Audio material on newspaper and magazine websites, Readers' letters and Edited or
moderated reader comments on newspaper and magazine websites. It means that it applies to my magazine as it is editorial
material that involves all of the above.
All members of the press have a duty to maintain the highest professional standards. The Code, which includes this preamble
and the public interest exceptions below, sets the benchmark for those ethical standards, protecting both the rights of the
individual and the public's right to know. It is the cornerstone of the system of self-regulation to which the industry has made a
binding commitment.
https://www.ipso.co.uk/IPSO/cop.html
Clause 1 Accuracy
• The Press must take care not to publish inaccurate, misleading or distorted information, including pictures. This is so that
you can not over Photoshop someone or something to change their appearance to give a false approach to promotion
or of how something is perceived. For example photo shopping someone to be more thinner than they really are. You
are however allowed to use the spot removal tool as its just touching up the appearance and making it presentable, but
not to the extent of changing the appearance.
• A significant inaccuracy, misleading statement or distortion once recognised must be corrected, promptly and with due
prominence, and - where appropriate - an apology published. In cases involving the Regulator, prominence should be
agreed with the Regulator in advance.
• A publication must report fairly and accurately the outcome of an action for defamation to which it has been a party,
unless an agreed settlement states otherwise, or an agreed statement is published. This is so that people don’t complain
of misleading and untrue facts and stories in the magazine.
Clause 3- privacy
• It is unacceptable to photograph individuals in private places without their consent. Private places are public or private
property where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy. This is because it could be classed as harassment and is an
invasion of privacy which is unfair towards the subject and is very irritating and stressful.
Clause 4 Harassment
• Journalists must not engage in intimidation, harassment or persistent pursuit.
• they must not persist in questioning, telephoning, pursuing or photographing individuals once asked to desist; or remain
on their property when asked to leave and must not follow them. They must not do this because its it unnecessary stress
upon the subject and unfair a they are venerable. If requested, the journalist must identify themselves and who they
represent.

34. Watermark protection
• The first step is to ensure that your photos are copyrighted.
Fortunately, in most countries this happens automatically when the
photo is created, including in the US, UK, EU and Canada. No action
is required on your part, and you will have all necessary legal rights to
recover any lost fees from unauthorized use.
• Photo Watermarks. These are a good way to make it clear that you
are serious about copyright protection. They also make it more likely
that you will receive credit even when an image has been copied
without your permission.
• big problem with watermarks is that they can distract from your
image — potentially negating the reason for sharing it in the first
place. On the other hand, if the watermark is too subtle, then this also
often means it can be easily edited out. A visible watermark is
therefore only appropriate for certain types of online images, such as
demo photos sent to clients, or computer graphics intended for sale.

40. Test Photography
(before and after manipulation)

41. Photographs - HOW did you manipulate these images? Reflect in MORE detail on
HOW you will go about manipulating these photos

42. Operating Desktop
publishing tools
I use this image for the background of my
double page spread.
I did this by going to into file- open and
selecting the image which would then
open it up on a blank canvas.
I then changed the exposure and
brightness of the image so that I could see
my writing on top of it once it came to
adding text. I did this by going into image-
adjustments and then exposure and black
and white.

43. I added this image onto the background and edited it to make it look
professional and like it was originally one image instead of two.
I did this by going into file- open and selecting the image. I then used the
quick selection tool to select the image. To get rid of the back ground I then
had to go into select and inverse. This changes the selection of the subject to
the background now selected, allowing you to keep the subject with out any
background disturbing it.
I then moved the picture to the left corner of the page to used the blur tool to
blend the image into the background and help smooth the edges out.

44. To create this image I went into file- open and selected both
images I wanted to use which would then be opened up on a
blank canvas. I then used the quick selection tool to select the
main subjects face and neck and used the rubber tool to rub it
out. I then went onto the image I wanted to replace It with and
selected the face and neck and dragged it over to the desired
place. Once I have done this I then enlarged the face to fit the
body of the other subject. I then used the blur tool to help blend
the rough edges from the quick selection and to help it blend
into the background.

45. Safe working practices
When creating my magazine it is essential to crop and
remove any unwanted areas from the image, this is
because it makes your image and magazine look
pristine and professional.
Also to help make your magazine look to its highest
potential and standards you should consider using
the pen tool to mark out around the images for you
text to fit around it neatly, allowing you to use all the
available space on the page, yet still keeping it clear
and professional.

46. Front cover- blank canvas
• I used the ruler tool indent
where certain
commentaries would be
based on my draft.
Front Cover- Step-by-steps

47. Masthead-
• To create my masthead for my
magazine I firstly used the rectangle
tool to draw out the shape of my
masthead.
• I then used the gradient tool in the
colour of red to stick to my colour
scheme and to get the base colour so I
could then apply the text.
• Thirdly, I used ‘da font’ to create the
text I needed- to apply it to Photoshop
I had to download the text.
• Once I had uploaded the text into my
front covers blank canvas, I was able to
add more text via using the text tool.

48. Process of the Main Image

49. Main Image-
• For the main image of my
magazines front cover I used an
image of the band I was idolising
and an image of my subject and
blende them together to create my
desired image. I did this by using
the quick selection tool to select the
band members head. And then the
rubber tool to erase the highlighted
area.
• I then used the quick selection tool
again to highlight my subjects head
so that I could then move if from
his shoulders to the band members
shoulders.
• Once I had done this i was the able
to use the clone stamp tool to re
create the brick background that
was lost in the process of erasing.
• I lastly used the blur tool to add the
finishing touches and to make the
image blend in better and to make
it look original.

50. Barcode-
• I firstly got a barcode of the internet and imported it
onto my canvas.
• Shape Tool - I then used the rectangle tool to draw
out a thinner rectangle to connect the bottom of the
barcode to extend it.
• Once I had done this I was able to add my
magazines email via using the text tool, as well as
other text related items such as the issue number
and price.
• To finish off my barcode I used the ‘place’ tool to
place my images for social media websites such as
Instagram and twitter.

51. DPS - Step-by-steps
Double Page Spread- blank canvas
I used the ruler tool indent where
certain commentaries would be based
on my draft.

52. Main Images
Main Images- for the main
image of my DPS I firstly
used the quick selection
tool and inverse tool to
allow me erase any
background from behind
the subject. Once done, I
used the blur tool to
smooth out the edges and
allow them to blend into
my background image.
For the background image I
used the image tool,
adjustments and brightness/
shadow selection. This was to
enhance the black an white of
the image. I put this image
behind the main subject image
so that it would blend in and
look like one image.

53. Text
Pen Tool – I used the pen tool many times throughout the process of making my magazine DPS
and front cover. An example of where I used the pen tool would be wen I wrap the 1st text column
around the drop capital and secondly on the Pull Quote.
Many other rival magazines use this technique in their magazines as it allows you tyo spread you
text out how you like across your pages and wrap them around images and quotes. NME is where
I got the idea to use the pen tool in this way.

56. Post-Production skills
• To create my magazines front cover and double page spread I used Photoshop CS5. I
used this software because it allows you to manipulate and edit in a professional way. It
also allows you to create the whole magazine with out having to use any other software.
Photoshop allowed me to edit my picture to a high quality and make my magazine
worthy of its job.
tools/features used to create my magazine:
• Quick selection tool- to select a certain part of an image
Either wanted or unwanted to allow you edit the select part
Or to delete.
• Inverse- used when the selection tool ha been used. You
Use this tool when your image is selected and you want the bit
not selected to swap with the selected part.
• Blur tool- used to smoothen and blend for a more professional
Approach and a better quality image.
• Burn tool
• Rubber tool
• Image- Adjustments- too edit the images colour and features
• Text tool
• Pen tool
• Clone stamp tool
I used the clone stamp to
clone the brick wall
background as I had to
manipulate the image
which made the
background disappear.

57. Colour
I maintained the house styles of my colour scheme throughout the
whole of my magazine. I did this by incorporating them in different
ways such as in the back ground, masthead ,pictures and fonts. by
maintaining the colour scheme and house styles it shows that I've
stuck to my original plan and targeted outcome and shows that I
was consistent throughout. it also makes my magazine more
professional due to the colours following the genre.
white
Red +
yellow
black
1) Swatches and Eye Dropper
tool –
I used the Eye dropper tool to
select the colour I wanted and
needed for highlighted areas in my
magazine – right click on the colour
– save in swatches

58. Font(s)
• The website I used to get the font that I needed to create my masthead was dafont. I
chose this font because it looked alternative yet simple, bold and clear. Its also very
similar to the NME font, which is who I was striving to be like. I also used this font
on my magazine front cover for the banner ‘catfish and the bottlemen’ I used this font
for this particular piece of text also because its bold, clear and simple yet alternative.
• The font that I used on my front cover for the featured titles such as the 1975, tom
Odell and the arctic monkeys was Eras bold ITC. I used this because it was clear and
not to fussy for my magazine,. It also was simple which didn’t clutter my magazine
page or make it look untidy or out of place. I also used this font type for the majority
of the text on my front cover for the same reason as its clear, bold and doesn’t make
my magazine look unprofessional or amateur.
