This week I have managed to stay on schedule, I've completed all of my planning documents and uploaded them to my blog. I also have my contents page which I finished up on tuesday.
The blank space on the right is where I am going to be adding my image once I have done the photo shoot (which is booked for the 3rd of February), and the page numbers will be added to the articles once I get my bible back from marking.
I chose to base my contents page on the style of 'GLAMOUR' magazine as it is very popular with my target audience.
Although the colour scheme is very blue at the moment I am going to wait and see how my images come out from the photo shoot, and hopefully tie in the colour scheme with the images of the contents page, front cover, and all of the text.
I feel that this week has gone to plan, and there were no real problems. Although nothing has gone wrong, reflecting on my schedule I think that I had planned my time too sparsely in the beginning and not given myself enough time for the later post-production. I am now worrying that later on in the post-production work I might not have a lot of time to pull everything together, and I really need to step up the pace. Even though it is still early on in the production process I still have a while to wait for my photo shoot, this means that when I am doing to be creating my double page spreads there will probably be a lot of last minute changes that I will make to try and tie everything together. I don't want to be getting behind and leaving a lot of work near the deadline date, because I know from experience of last year and doing my mock-ups this year that I spend a lot of time tweaking, rearranging and re-doing my pages.
Next week I hope to finish writing my article for 'Dare to Be - EXTREME', and begin my layout for it as well. Therefore I am going to make sure that I am reading magazines and looking at magazine layouts over the next week to compare my work to, and make sure that I am on the right track concerning language use, writing style and the visuals of the layouts.
