Overall Risk Assessment for the Project

Risk Assessment for poster photo shoot

Possible Risk
Prevention
Problems?
Tripping/falling hazards
Ensure that there is no equipment lying around which may cause trips and falls for example wires on the floor, chairs out of place and props on the floor.
None
Low lighting / No lighting
Ensure that if the photos are not being taken at that time a light is turned on to prevent injury to people around. When in low lighting ensure people around are aware of equipment around the area so they know where they are walking to prevent other dangers such as risks.
None
Bright lights
Ensure people are aware of the bright lights and warn not to look directly into the light to prevent headaches.

Feedback on the magazine



After creating the magazine, I collected some feedback from my target audience about what they thought about our promotional product. 
Some of the positive feedback that we received was..
- The layering of the images and the text is well presented and creates good depth to the magazine
- The layout of the 'The Recollection' title at the bottom of the page is well structured and stands out well on the page
- The side bar on the left creates a professional feel to the magazine and is creative, also its good how it includes the website for the magazine and what is included inside the issue.
- The cracked effect which is over the characters face is effective as it helps an audience assume that the character has a background, this is also shown through the facial expression, mysterious.

Some of the constructive criticism we received was...
- The background image is dull it may look better brightened up.
> In response to this we brightened up the background image and this is shown on the magazine above. 
- You could make the cracked effect across the characters face more prominent as it is quite faint.
> In response to this we decided to leave the faint cracked effect as the bolder cracks were not effective and not what we had planned.
