- 2. Style sheet I chose these colours for my front page cover because they are very dark and I think that they really relate to the type of genre the magazine is. The colour black will be as rectangles at the top and the bottom of the page. The text will be white contrasting with the black otherwise how would you be able to read it. These colours inspired me because they are really magazine type colours. The blue will be my background and the red will be the colour of my text. These are the choices of fonts that I have to choose from for the headline of the magazine. This has to be very appealing and stand out because it is the part which will draw the reader in too buy so it will have to be interesting in looks. I got these fonts from DaFont and these are recommended ones which are from the comic fonts. These inspired me too actually use this font which really suits the genre of game it is and what is included so the audience can then tell what the games about just by seeing the font. white These layouts of front pages are included because then I could see what my magazine might look like. These actually inspired me to use less things on the front cover and just make it more simple looking this will generally be more appealing to the audience. The backgrounds are included in my style sheet because I really like the layout of them and I really want a design like this which isn't too simple or complex but still looks appealing to the audience. This inspired me to use actual game as a background for my final magazine.

All the writing is included, stating what is inside the magazine and the special offers making the audience want to buy this just for these. I will definitely include the circle with the offer on in my final product.

- 6. Contingency Planning Potential Issue Solution COPYRIGHT Do not get copyright protected images or any images that are branded with a name or logo. The computer could crash whilst I am working on it. Always remember to save regularly so you don’t loose to much of your work. The quality of the images might become bad as I put them on my magazine or I change the size of the image. If they do become bad quality make the images smaller in size so it isn't blurred or just find a image that isn't very blurry and suits your cover. The design for the double page may be out of line with the images and the text. use the ruler guidelines and zoom in to check that all the text and images are in line with one another. The computer that I am working on may not be compatible with Photoshop like my pc at home. I could either complete something else in the mean time on that computer for example I could start writing some of my PowerPoint's up, or log onto a different computer if at college in the room or at the learning centre.

Take regular breaks to stop your eyes being damaged or you can turn down the brightness of the screen. you can get a painful cramp in your neck making it harder for you to continue on working. You can adjust your chair so you are at the height in level with the screen and then you can tilt the screen up or down until it suits the height the your at. Back pain from sitting down making it harder for you to continue on working. Take regular breaks or get an adjustable chair which has a comfortable and soft back and seating or you could sit on a pillow/cushion. Don’t spill food and drink on the computer because it disrupts your area and can potentially break your computer. Take regular breaks so can eat and drink outside the room but mainly you should not bring these in because of the damage that they can cause. There should be no trailing wires because you could trip or unplug a computer and loose all of the work that you have just done. All of the wires should be fastened down tight and not loose, if they are you can tape them down or tie them all together and make sure they are out of the way behind the computer. electrical sockets must not be overloaded because it could overload the computer and all your work will go. Make sure that the plugs are not loose and you only have one per socket for one computer keeping electricity good with not too much power in one.
