1. Introduction

I have been asked to help update a fashion magazine called Estrella by Mrs J. Usher. She has been running the magazine for just under two years. She has been disappointed with the sales which are not really moving. I have been asked to create a catchy, stylish and modern front cover that is aimed at teen girls. This magazine is based in London at the address, 10 Florence Rd, Haringey, London N4 and will only be sold in London for the next year, however if I can help enough their and sales go up then it shall spread.

2. Who is the 'real' user?

I am working for Mrs J. Usher. She is the owner and the editor in chief of the magazine so every idea and decision goes past her first. She is connected to the problem the most since she is the owner and needs to pay all her employees, but to do this she needs the money which she isn't getting.

3. What is the current problem?

The current problem is that the cover is not appealing to a wide enough audience, just young teenagers, and

Response to the question

In summary, the report is quite good. The report states the current issues of the magazine, and the suggested improvements that the student will undertake. However the report is lacking the reasons to why the student will use some software packages, such as Photoshop and InDesign. The Introduction of the report is clear and sets out the aim of the project. In addition, the student understands the magazine issues and aims at resolving these by creating a front cover to recover from the loss making operation. The report states 'Fit it so the size of A4 paper'. Since the student is using Photoshop, there may state the pixels that this will be. This will show the examiner that there are both thinking about the image size in terms of paper and pixels used in Photoshop.

Level of analysis

The student states that there are going to use Photoshop to edit their image, however the report doesn't state why. The report colour include 'I'll be using Photoshop, as the software allows me to edit/alter the image with ease. Adobe Photoshop has a number of tools that I'll use, such as the 'Clone Stamp Tool', which will remove some areas of the image which are poor quality. This should improve the image, and thus improve their sales figure's.' The above is an example of what the student could include within the report. The above should be written on all the software packages. This includes Photoshop and Indesign, as these are the two suggested software programs that the student will use.

Quality of writing

The writing style is quite formal, and thus is professional. However the student does use two different types of bullet points. The student uses a square type bullet point, and further down the report there use a circle type bullet point. This is a little messy, and should remain the same though-out the report. I would suggest the circle type bullet points.
