Further continuing our pre-production planning, we collated our thoughts, ideas and work so far in the unit and compiled it into a report/portfolio describing and explaining the thought processes behind our ideas and how we plan to put them into practice as we enter the production phase of the process. Whilst writing the report, I drew upon the work we did prior to pre-production on printing processes and the history of the print media industry, which I found insightful and illustrative when it came to describing how I would go about creating and producing my publication. Within my report, I talked about my style and typography choices, particularly in relation to my masthead, and also discussed how I plan to appeal to my target audience and how my style model from NME and my consumer survey has influenced my content choices. Additionally, I created a moodboard full of images of bands and musicians which fit in with the genre of music I hope to feature predominantly in my magazine. This helped a great deal in helping me shape ideas with regards to the magazine's content, mise-en-scene, ideology of dedicated alternative music fans I am striving to appeal to, and the overall look, feel and tone of the publication. Moreover, not only is the report.portfolio an important component of my work towards this unit, but it has also helped me immeasurably with forming solid ideas and gaining inspiration for the production process, so it has been extremely successful.
