As previously discussed rather than making the magazine myself, I will be having it produced externally. This is due to the fact that I want it to feel and be presented as a professional fashion lifestyle magazine, and therefore it must be of professional standard. As I know my production skills when it comes to bookmaking and not of the professional standard the only viable option to be able to achieve an outcome which successfully fulfils the needs of the brief is to have it produced elsewhere. Also due to the low number of pages with the magazine if I were to perfect bind this outcome within the University facilities, unfortunately, it would fall apart, whereas elsewhere have industry-standard level binding materials, which would ensure the books does not fall apart.
In order to comply with the needs of the printing, I created a PDF document my final design with a 3 mm bleed, ensuring that any pages printed through the company which did have a full bleed image or typographical background, would go all the way to the edge of the page. The magazine is quite thin, I do not need to take into consideration the spine, is not a lot of content is lost within a spine that is below 1.5 mm thick.
As can be seen below, I have screenshot it the settings in which the booklet shall be printed, with a 300 GSM silk cover which will be coated in matte lamination, and 130 GSM silk paper to give the feel of a professional magazine. There was other lamination options for the cover yet lamination is most appropriate is found through my research for a lifestyle magazine.
