Project and monitoring - 24-1-14



This week i planned to create my front cover and start the layout for it.  This came later in the week as at first i had to finish off my contents page and make replicate an actuall magazine contents page. So i then had to change my old version to replicate the glamour contents page which i thought looked best for my product. This didn't take long to change as i already had the layout it just needed re arranging and other font inserted.

My front cover this week was my priority and i began to create the layout for my page creating boxes and space for my sell lines. It was all ready to be finished and insert the picture used from the previous grunge shoot but i realised that the dark background on the image didn't create a good look for the front cover and i think it doesn't make it look professional. This means that i am going to have to re create one of the images from the grunge on a white background so that it will work on my front cover which i can do in my "whats with this music" shoot later on today.

I think because i need to take a new picture an contingency that i have just created to make sure that i still get an image its to just take a head and shoulders shot of a female model and use it to make a front cover like the above. This makes sure that even if i don't get the images i want i will still have something for my front cover and i could make "the Grunge" article the main sell line instead of the main story to my front cover.


Also this week i began to create my layout for my whats with this music article layout so that i am ready after my photo shoot today to start finalising the layout and inserting my pre written article allowing me to therefore spend more time on the front cover and contents to finalise it if i need to.

I think the Northern Echo would be impressed with my work this week as even though i have had some set backs i have done work which was meant to be later now so that when i do have the things that i am missing like images and layouts i have time to do them in the future because i have made space for them now.
