The document outlines Harry's initial plans for creating a car magazine, including using Photoshop to design the cover and InDesign for articles, as well as topics to cover like different car makes and models. It also includes a mind map, mood board, and schedule laying out the process over 5 weeks, from research and planning to production and evaluation of the finished magazine.

Initial Plans Harry
Initial Reaction • I’m going to make a car magazine based on a range of reliable makes and models (E.g: Ford Fiesta). To make the front cover, I will use photoshop as it allows me to edit images and create the graphics I need. I will use a design font from flaming text to create the masthead. When the front cover is complete I will screenshot it into In-Design. • To make the double page spread, I will use In-Design to write the articles as it has more writing styles and features than Photoshop. Although I have little experience with it, it will give the chance to learn how to use it and gain more skills. • On the front cover, I will have the title of the magazine, subheadings, images and graphics which will tell the readers what will be in the magazine. • On the double page spread, the layout will be columns. This will be to make it look organised and professional. On these pages, there will be a range of different subjects/articles to do with cars (e.g: Makes and models, Insurance & tax). I will include images, graphics and text. • I’m good at using Photoshop to edit images and create graphics. I have great knowledge of what the tools are and what they do.
Mind Map

Mood Board
Mood Board Analysis Is there any repetition in the images you have collected? Repeated colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood There is a lot of white in the backgrounds of the images, which is why I edited the image of the white car by putting a darker colour/themed background behind it. Also, I edited it to give me inspiration for my front cover. Two images have the same silver colour, but they are completely different objects. The design font I picked I will actually use in my magazine because it looks very interesting, it will attract the audience’s attention and it will stand out against the other features I’m putting in it. How will your mood board influence your final product? The graphics I put in my mood board will help me to draw my own in Photoshop. The images will help me to make the photos I take look shiny and very professional.
