FMP Proposal Considering my final major project, I aim to produce a publication in print format, therefore I will produce the design on InDesign. Ambrose and Harris (2008) explain “Print production involves a range of processes that an idea for a design to take physical form”. I want to produce the publication in print format firstly to broaden my writing skills for print as I have produced a varied amount of online written content previously throughout this course. Producing the magazine for print will require me to use InDesign to layout the written content into a physical form, Whittaker (2008) clarifies “InDesign supported by advanced features such as better transparency options at an earlier stage, and was also compatible with the other designer’s favourite, Photoshop”. Developing my DTP skills is important for the writing industry, Whittaker (2008) notes “it is increasingly important for editors and other journalists to know their way around a DTP package” he continues to explain how it is a useful skill for landing jobs and making amendments to a feature. Another reason why I choose to adapt my final major project for print is because I believe the nature of the magazine will work well with a creative and tangible design as there will be a lot of visuals including art throughout. Ambrose and Harris (2008) explain “Layout aims to present the visual and textural elements that are communicated in a manner that enables the viewer to receive the messages they contain”. I took inspiration from Vice publication, as well as Sofa magazine subscription to analyse the various styles, layouts and paper choices of current print magazines within the market.
