Targets for the Week Commencing: 10/03/2014

For this week I am planning on finishing my magazine ready to hand in on Friday, I have pretty much finished by this point and I just have a few tweaks and layout movements to do just to finish anything off. I am pleased with my final design because it is exactly what I wanted to make. The only thing I am struggling with now is the contents page still because I want it to look as realistic as it can possibly be and that is very tricky to achieve because it can easily look fake and too simple. I am continuing to look at my magazine even though it is finished however I just want to make sure that everything is perfect and up to my standards, which unfortunately are quite high, although this gives me an advantage because that means I can look at things more critically and with an analytical eye which allows me to see where I have gone wrong or where things just don't work or look right in the style and genre of my magazine. 
Another thing I am concentrating on doing this week would be the remaining blog work that I need to do because I have been concentrating on my draft for a while I have not really as much effort into my blog work and I am going to rectify that this week because I still have so much to add and develop for my magazine before the deadline.
I don't have to add a lot of features to my magazine now but I still want to tweak a few more things before I have to hand it in on Friday.

Plan for Week Commencing: 03/03/2014

For this week what I am planning to achieve is to be continuing with my final design for my magazine, after taking my pictures again on Friday I feel more confident that I have found the right pictures for my magazine, that both fit the style of my magazine and also they look reasonably professional as well. I am excited to get my magazine finished now because it is coming along well and it will be nice to feel the satisfaction when it is finally finished. Also what I am going to do is to pick out which photos I am going to use on which page because I am going to change all the photos that I currently have on my magazine for the ones that I took on Friday because they look way more how I want my magazine to look, and the style I am also trying to replicate within the magazine industry. I am trying to make sure I am not changing too much of my magazine because I was generally pleased with how my draft turned out last time. However in saying that, I am changing my contents page completely and that page will definitely be done by the end of the week so that I have got all the major changes out of the way so I can concentrate on the smaller and less noticeable changes within my magazine. I am also going to look more closely at more magazines that inspire me because I think it's important to keep finding images and designs that are inspiring because it gives me more ideas that are crucial to achieving the best finish on my own design.

Plan for the Week commencing: 24/02/2014

For this next week I am planning to continue working on my blog work and also to be improving my draft so it meets the standards it needs to be to reach the top grades. Also I am planning to take more pictures for my magazine, this is crucial to my magazine because the main feedback I got on my first draft was that my photos weren't up to scratch. I am planning on not to alter the light because last time I was trying to get a dulled down effect and slightly more dark (copying Clash magazine's winter double issue with Banks on the front) to add a more professional look I felt than the just solid white, bright effect. However in saying that, I am going to continue with the bright background and take more photos on Friday. Also I plan to still edit my pages, this will be a continual thing for the next three weeks, I am also going to be putting a blog post on this week about my style models and what has inspired me because that is important, also about which magazines have inspired features that I have included in my magazine (such as placings of page numbers, etc). Hopefully with doing all of this I will have a better idea of how my magazine will go and I can also feel more confident with my design.
