I will be needing a camera, for my photo shoot this is a necessity as it clarifies in the brief that all images must be taken by yourself.

The Sony Alpha a230 is especially good for my photo shoot as the second band images which will feature on my contents will be in the dark and the advanced controls to this camera allows me to access the kind of environment I am trying to make.

Sony Alpha a230

Photoshop cs4 I will need a variety of software to make up my magazine, I will use Adobe Photoshop Cs4 for the creation of my magazine, this is accessible to me as I am a full-time boarder and Photoshop is sourced on all computers in the school facilities.

This software is also a designed piece which many graphic designers use to create there professional magazines, the use of this will hopefully portray the professional look through my magazine.

Photoshop InDesign

Photoshop InDesign CS4, although this resource is a possibility however I have not used this resource before. I have more experience with Photoshop and with help from tutorials could use benefit even more to make my magazine look professional and innovative.

Microsoft Word

I will be using word to make the table and to organise the dates for photo shoots and all other text based resources.

This is a valuable resource as it is wear I initially gather all my ideas and proof read my text.

Evaluation of ResourcesAll resources used are valuable to the production of my magazine. They will be used at length and I am planning to use them more than any other software on my computer account.

I hope to complete the brief to a professional extent and the use of these resources enable me to do so, therefore I think the production starts from now!

Let the fun begin!
