Proposal Task with Potential Problems

For this task I looked at all the possible ways my magazine could go wrong, and by identifying the problems before they occur I can eliminate them all together.

Front Cover and Contents Page Images

For my images the model(s) I have chosen may not want to do it any more  – To solve this problem I would choose a different person to model in my magazine (to make this problem even more easier to solve I would have a backup model who would be willing to have photographs taken of them).

Another problem may be that the images may not come out how I want them to – To solve this problem I would have other shots already taken along with the others so that I wouldn’t have to arrange times and dates for my model to come in for another shoot.

Another problem may be that the image doesn’t go with my layout or magazine as a whole – To solve this problem I would either rearrange my layout to suit the image whilst still keeping in with my intended look or use different images so that it does go with my magazine look. 

The image may also use the wrong colour which doesn’t go with my colour palette, or have too much shade/light – To solve this problem I would check as soon as I took the photograph to make sure it does, but if it got past that stage I would either retake the shots and arrange another shoot or change the photographs on Photoshop so that the images look how they are supposed to.

The images may also come out looking unprofessional – To solve this problem I would have to make sure that the image has a good backdrop so that it is easier for me to Photoshop and when I Photoshop it I will have to use the correct tools accurately. 

Article Inside Magazine

Problems that may arise for my coursework is that the text is too long – To solve this problem I would either take out parts of the text so that the page doesn’t look too detailed, or change the text size whilst still making sure that the text is a reasonable size so that you can still read.

The text may have a different language technique/style which might not match my magazine – To solve this I would make sure at the beginning that it went with my magazine but if I passed that stage and I found that problem I would change the language technique/style so that it sounds more like my magazine style by using inspirational adjectives and upbeat quotes.

I may find that there is too many/little number of columns for my text – To solve this I would make sure at the start, when I am writing it that it fit the right amount but if I got passed that stage I would either change the text or take/put in existing text to suit.  

Images to Accompany Article

Not having the right/amount of image – To solve this I would make sure that when I was taking the photographs that they had a specific purpose and place for my magazine so that they fitted in so that I would have the right amount as they would all have purpose and they were the correct type of shot as it would go with my plan. Another problem is that it might not be the correct shot – To solve this I would either create a new photograph that was the correct shot type or just zoom in on the image so that it was the correct type of shot.

It may have the wrong colour(s) that don’t go with my colour palette for my magazine – To solve this I would either go on Photoshop or edit out the colours I don’t want in or take another photograph that held the colours I do want for my magazine.
