Producing the final idea

I started off with this image and the logo. I felt that the image was too orange so I decided to change this on another draft. I then decided that the I didn't want the QR code and bar code on the front of the magazine so devised the back of the front cover that will be sold in shops. It makes the magazine look neater and well layed out. This is shown in the images above.

QR code

This is going to be my QR code. When scanned by a smart phone it will direct you to a website or give you some form of information. This particular code when scanned directs you to this blog. This is what I am going to use on my magazine.

Pre-evaluation review

Write a paragraph that describes your project
my project combines the idea of a magazine and media online. It is a updated version of a magazine that uses QR codes to scan and view on an Ipad, Iphone and or IPod. It creates less waste products which is good for the environment. My magazine will try to target the market of teens with the idea of using their everyday appliances.

What is unique about your project?
My project is designed for Ipad, Iphone and or Ipod use. It Has a QR code which allows it to be scanned and viewed online.

What technologies are you using?
I am using photography, photoshop, I may use a Wacom Tablet, as well as this my project will be online.

Reflect on progress so far and challenges/areas where you struggle
My work is going at a good pace but still needs a lot of work however all research is done.

What still needs completeing?
My double page spread and contents need completeing.

Final ideas

I've come up with the ideas and now it's time to put them into action. The idea is that the front cover is going to be sold in shops along with the back of the front cover that shows some of the contents of the magazine in the style of a calender and a description of how to get the magazine. The shape of the magazine is going to be an Ipad. I have decided to get a sponsorship with apple, to increase profits and advertisement. It also stops the copyright issues with the magazine cover that is sold in shops. The front cover has included the Ipad because it shows the market that this magazine is to be enjoyed online through your  Ipad, Iphone, or Ipod.

The QR code on the back of the front cover that is sold in shops is bought and then you can scan it. For now to show how it works I have created a QR code that when you scan it, directs you back to this blog. To stop people from scanning the code off of the shelves of the shop, I will devise the code to be covered by a silver coating that you have to scratch of before you can scan it. The whole of the cover will then have to be covered in plastic or an Eco friendly material to stop people from scratching off the code.
