LO3: Updated Production Plan
To complete the eight pages of my magazine by the Monday the 1st of June I need to follow several production processes. These include; researching, planning and then creating the content for and editing the final product. The tasks as part of these processes involve different things which I have highlighted below:
Researching & Planning Content for Articles = 2 Weeks
This process involved collecting information from various different reliable sources such as magazines similar in concept to mine and also online through websites, webzines and blogs. I needed to create varied and original content in order for my magazine to be successful and in order to avoid breeching copyright. During this process I decided on the main content for the articles and produced article and layout drafts. I also prepared for photo shoots by creating call sheets and shot plans.
Creating the Content for the Magazine = 2 Weeks
This process involved writing the content for the articles, which purposely included features on culture, fashion and music so that the articles were varied and had a wider appeal. It also involved testing and settling on which colour schemes, graphics, fonts and sizes would be used, and carrying out the photo shoots.
Editing the Final Product = 1 Week
The last process in creating my magazine involves assembling the product using Adobe InDesign and finalising the layout of the articles. This also involves proof-reading the final product to ensure that the content is suitable for publication and that there are no spelling mistakes or punctuation errors.

LO3: Final Articles
Page 3: Horace Panter Art
This week I had the absolute pleasure of visiting the opening night of Horace Panter’s latest exhibition, ‘Nostalgia (Ain’t What It Used To Be)’, at A Month of Sunday’s Gallery by Sheffield legend Pete McKee, which is home to Panter’s works for the next few weeks. For founding member and bassist of 2Tone royalty The Specials, this is the first time he has brought his work to the Steel City, and the furthest he has exhibited his latest artworks in the North of England. Panter, who qualified as an art teacher back in the 1990’s, has since become a professional artist and spends his time painting when he’s not performing. Original pieces featuring [cont...] at the gallery include images of The Specials, a painting of Panter’s late friend Amy Winehouse and works from his ‘Cassettes’ and ‘Americana’ series. Just like McKee, Panter is influenced by pop culture and includes many references. However, his work is mainly a fusion of iconography and British pop art. Prints of Panter’s work are available in a limited quantity for the lucky few who can make it to the gallery, but there is also a small range of Panter’s work available to purchase online on his website

Page 4: Brutus Trimfit x Dr Martens
This year classic trimfit shirt wear pioneers Brutus teamed up with legendary Dr Martens to create a series of collaborative shirts for both men and women. The two limited edition styles, in Oxblood and contrasting Yellow Tartan, are reminiscent of and match perfectly with a pair of Oxblood 1460 Dr Marten boots with either the standard black of striking yellow laces. The shirts are made to the regular, unique Brutus Trimfit spec and are made of quality Nevapress PolyCotton. Each shirt is pressed, darted and fitted in its packaging and comes accompanied by a pocket square in the opposing tartan. The shirts are priced at a respectable recommended retail price of £55 due to the limited edition status of the items. Both Brutus Trimfit and Dr Martens share histories intertwined with the Mod and skinhead subcultures, and these collaborative shirts encapsulate that particular heritage of music, style and attitude.
