After deciding that we will be creating a magazine we gave each person an assigned role which we agreed we would each complete. Each person in our group completed their part. Georgia and I also then completed Meeting pro forma’s, Booking forms, Production Schedule, Risk Assessment and then an advertisement for our back cover as certain people in our group had not finished their product. An important part of our production was teamwork. We feel as though all of us did not work as a team as well as we could of done. Next time we will communicate more and ensure that all of the work that needs to be completed is distributed evenly. Even Though teamwork was not successful in our group, individually we worked well and eventually completed the project.
Overall our product turned out well once completed. Georgia and I worked as a team to complete a photoshoot at my house and organised specific dates and times to do this. We decided on a theme of black and white for our images based on a Burberry campaign we had previously seen. Georgia was our main model and as she had this job we decided that the font should have the effect that it had been wrote in lipstick as we felt this would be something that seemed quite clever and well thought out.
To ensure that we created an appealing magazine that would attract people we did a lot of research on the internet and looked through current magazines to see what was currently on offer. We then thought of anything we liked and could maybe improve and have as a feature in our magazine.
When planning our magazine we drew out a number of ‘draft copies’ so that when we created the real thing we had a good idea of what sort of things we wanted and how we wanted it to be set out.
To ensure our magazine was at the highest of standards we used various techniques and software. To complete the interview page indesign was used and to complete the front cover we used Photoshop. To create the main font for the front cover our teacher helped us used ink and paint brushes to create the effect it had been wrote in lipstick. We also noticed that many magazines currently on offer had various advertisements throughout. We therefore decided that we would create our own using one of the photographs me and Georgia took while out on location. We took a variety of different shots from different angles and decided on which ones we thought were the best. As I was writing an interview I had to decided how I would lay out the images and text on the page. I used an image per page therefore two pages of image and two page of text which I set out in columns on the page so that it looked professional and neat.
We originally decided that our magazine was going to be aimed at teenagers, however we found an appealing burberry campaign in black and white therefore we changed it as we felt it would be would be more marketable and appealing to a range of audiences rather than just teenage girls.
During the production of our magazine we realised that we did not have as much time as previously thought and had to work quicker and spend more time on it to meet the deadline that was set.
While creating the magazine I noticed that I had a variety of strengths and weaknesses. In my opinion I am good at meeting deadlines given but also ensuring that it is to the highest standard it could be even with a time limit. I also think that when everyone is cooperating I work well in a team but also well on my own as I do not have to rely on other people, it is just up to me to get it done. I feel that we were very fair to everyone in our group and helped each other out with tasks if they were behind with work. I also feel that I was very good at being persistent in order to get the work completed by the deadline. I also had some weaknesses in that Georgia and I lost our work a number of times due to the fact that we did not check where we saved it. I think that something else that hindered me was the fact that I like to ensure everything is perfect therefore each task took longer. Me and Georgia also were very wary of the deadlines therefore we had to work use more time than we originally planned to.
If I completed a project like this again I would change the page I created. I would do this so I could gain even more skills so that in the future I would be able to do whatever page needed completing. I would also make sure that next time we had a more reasonable amount of
work to complete so that we did not have to spend more time than initially thought when we could of been doing other things to improve our magazine.
When completing our project we had to think about a variety of legal and Ethical issues. All the images I used in my part of the product I took myself therefore I did not need to get permission to use images owned by someone else. I ensured that the interview I published only had the answers that the person I interviewed gave and did not add anything in to make the interview seem better.
