Proposal Table With Potential Problems



Front cover images
The first major problem I may encounter is if the models I have selected to portray my images may withdraw when they are not all completed




Unfortunately some of the images may not develop properly and may include imperfections





I may face the problem that some of the images do not relate to the magazines genre/layout and appear misplaced or not related.




The image I take with the camera may be effected by general lighting problems (too much shade/too bright) and may also be finalized in an incorrect color due to practical error




I will not be including a large amount of different artists in the product so hopefully I will not need many models. Different people will model in the finished magazine – I will include at least one backup model who will be willing to replace the one who has declined to finish the rest of their images


I will take backup shots that can be used if some of the others do not come out as I had hoped they would. This would prevent me being rushed at the last minute to take replacement images and would save the models having to come in for another photo shoot.

If it came to it I could attempt to re-organise the layout (this would be frustrating) yet at least would look good besides the image and keep with the intended style. Or I could possibly take new images so that they do go with the layout (however this would mean calling the models back in)

Immediately checking the image as soon as the photograph has been took ensures colour errors will be distinguished instantly. However if something on the editing happens to be bypassed then the images can be retook, this requires calling back the models again though. Photographs can be altered on Photoshop which has the potential to correct them
Article Inside Magazine
When writing the text it may come out unnecessarily long or become too detailed





The language of the magazine may not suit the style or layout






There may be too many/too little number of columns in the magazine giving it a crowded or undermined look

The text can be edited or removed to reduce the length of the columns and too make it look less detailed then what it was originally. Changing the size may also be a useful technique, by making it larger/smaller it can give the illusion there isn’t as much to read

To avoid this problem completely it would be absolutely essential that I was happy with the style before I progressed onto the next stage of my product. If this problem was unavoidable however it can be corrected by using pull quotes and inspirational words to overrule the mistake.

 In the initial planning stages I would compose a plan of how I want my articles to look with the EXACT amount of columns I desire. If I do make a mistake text can be added or deducted to suit my needs.
Images to accompany article

I may not have obtained the right style of image or I may be lacking in photographs for the articles.










The shot style may be incorrect









The photographs may be in the wrong colour so it does not identify with the palette of the product.





When capturing the images I’d make a visual checklist of the style I want for that particular shot, ensuring it would fit its specific purpose in the product.  For example I may require an image of the model in a certain attire or posing in a altered posture to nam a few.This reinforces the idea I would have gained correct composition of shot adhering to my required needs for my product with the  photographs complying exactly with the list of suggestions I had proposed


I indeed this occurance did arise, simply to correct the error I would take multiple shots at different angles/frames of the model so there would be a wide selection on offer for me to choose from if the original image was counter productive. Or essentially and simply I could re-take another photo so it expressed the style I desired.


By using the Photoshop software I’d be able to edit the consistency, saturation and hue of the image so it identifies with the specific scheme of the magazine. Or vice versa as stated above in the previous concern I could easily capture the photo again so it matches the magazine conventions as I would predict it to.
