LO3: Copyright issues

Magazines contain various content from adverts, interviews, photographs and even illustrations. So copyright in magazines can be an issue within the publishing process. However seen as the editors will be working for me or have a contract with the people that helped so I will be able to copyright the magazine and not have any issues with it.

However the publishing of the magazine the copyright content lasts for 25 years after the publishing year ends. Which means a lot of the information included in the magazine will be out of date by the time the copyright has come to an end.

Another issue with copyright will be the pictures I use within the magazine which I will take myself as this will cause less issues than using other peoples, This will be rather simle to do as all the content in the magazine will be local in Sheffield so wont mean going out of the way. Plus we will ask the band to approve the pictures before they are then published.

LO3: Slander and legal issues identified and addressed

People have learnt that in today's day we can easily speak our mind so easily and for it to go worldwide easy in seconds. This is generally done by the use of social media, this is generally written content onto the web so this is known as libel, The difference between libel and slander is generally libel means permanent because it can do damage for good because it can be seen forever. However Slander is a spoken word which causes less permanent damage because people will begin to forget about it. 

In terms of magazine I don't think there is many issues with slander as the interviews are then written down in to the magazine which means it can be filtered by the editing team to make sure non of the material that is going to be published can cause harm to the bands. This is because the main purpose of the magazine is not to gossip about bands but get information on the bands to gain them a bigger fan base. 

In terms of Libel all the material will be approved by the bands before being published to make sure the content we are giving out is the right image the want people to get from them. This is because I know there is a terms of 'Free speech' however it can cause unnecessary harm to any of the bands by making them lose fans.

LO3: Second Photoshoot outcome













LO3: Editing Process & Techniques

This is me locking a few layers together in order for me organise things around the page. This also makes it easier when choosing a colour scheme. 

This is me, changing the opacity of the picture behind the title of the page to make it look more interesting as well as to keep things simple, as I didn't want to much going  of on the pages so that it makes the reader feel uncomfortable.

This is me changing the angle of the photo, so that it isn't straight so this creates a interesting look for the person reading the magazine. 

This is one of the effects I used throughout my magazine to overlay shapes and images to create a nice effect so it didn't look to boring. I did this so that you could see the difference between the shapes.

This is the general layout of the indesign file, and my magazine.
