SWOT for Magazine Production

This is a SWOT for my magazine cover production. This is one of two individual tasks I am doing for the coursework and so it includes my personal strengths and weaknesses in this area

Strengths

• Experience gained from the workshops held by my lecturer has given me knowledge on how to use the appropriate software Adobe Photoshop.
• Good at time management which should allow me to put in enough time for each part of the production.
• I can focus well which should help me to get my work done within the time frame and to a good standard.
• Good writing skills which allow me to convey my thoughts accurately.

Weaknesses

• Limited experience on Photoshop could lead to a poor quality product.

• Habit of over thinking can cause time to be lost.
• Can lack detail in pre-production paperwork such as research.

Opportunities

• Good software at college such as the newest version of Adobe Photoshop will significantly help me to create professional looking products.
• Workshops with my lecturer on how to use this software.
• My lecturer is at hand to help me with any problems.
• Plenty of real world examples to inform my cover and gain inspiration from.

Threats

• Poor time management could lead to the production being rushed and subsequently affecting the quality.
• Lack of research informing my productions could cause poor quality.
• Inadequate equipment such as camera could lead to poor quality photos for the magazine cover.
• Poor planning might lead to undesired results which affect quality.
• Work from other subjects taking up too much time.
• Outside hobbies and activities taking up too much time.
