Risk And Hazard Assessments
For coniscliffe road the hazards and risks would be:
Near a main road- could get ran over
In a public area so people could walk by whilst i am taking photos. Also it could be difficuilt to get the right lighting e.g. could be shadows of trees.
For the alley next to pierremont road the risks could be the lighting because it is in a small area and there are trees and buildings either side of the alley. Also there could be smashed glass.
The likelihood of all the hazards is low and are easily controlled

Reflection On Research And Skills
After researching i have decided that i must have an impact font to draw people to my magazine and to attract my target audience. My main image and my model must connote the genre of my magazine. It also must use colors that are suited to my genre such as dark colors and other colors such as reds yellows blacks greys and whites. My fonts must also be rough and bold but easy to read. My props must match my model and colors.

Fonts Research
The Fonts I have researched and chosen for the masthead of my magazine have been chosen because they are big and bold so that they stand out from the rest of the magazine. Also they aren't neat they are quite worn to connote the Indie Rock Genre. Also other magazines within this genre use similar fonts for their mastheads.
The fonts I have researched and chosen for the sell line of my magazine have been chosen because they are bold so it will attract the readers view this is crucial because these are the parts of the magazine that are going to sell it. They are also well fitted to the genre of my magazine. The fonts are also unique and independent like the genre of the music in the magazine.
The fonts i have researched and chosen for my body text are smaller and less bold this is because they don't need to stand out as much but they still need to match the genre of my magazine. The fonts are independent and appeal to the audience of this magazine genre. They are also easy to read so there will be no problem for the reader.
Synopsis Of Ideas
For my media magazine i will use a 3 color pallette which is common in this genre. My colors will consists of black red and white. The fonts i will use for my Masthead and titles will be big bold and square these fonts will be ragged to connote my indie rock genre. My body text will be rough but easy to read so the reader can understand it but also relate to it. My model will wear a check shirt with a white t-shirt underneath and dark skinny jeans. The facial expression of my model will be emotionless.
