In today's lesson I started on my contents page. I decided to make it a double page one as I feel like I will have to fit a lot of information in a condensed space otherwise. In tomorrows lessons I am going to finish my last double page spread and try to finish my contents page. If I can do this, I will do my front cover. If I haven't got enough time, I plan to stay after school to make sure I have it all complete.

So far I have done 2 double page spreads and I am on my third one. I had some difficulty editing and cutting the images but I got help so I now understand. Im tomorrow's double lesson, I am planning on getting my third double page spread done and to start my contents page.

In class on Wednesday, I decided to stay at lunch and make sure that I have added my draft article to my double page spread. I got help from one of my teachers. I added the text, made the first letter larger and added an image. With the image, I added a shadow effect onto it so that it doesn't look as plain. Next lesson I plan to add more onto my magazine draft, hopefully on my front cover.

In todays lesson I am cutting my focus group video so it it just focusing on the parts where I asked questions. I want to make sure I take all of my feedback into consideration. For example, the pose feedback shows me that I shouldnt get my model to show that they are over posing, and be more natural. I am also planning on continuing my magazine double page spreads.

Equipment
Equipment
The equipment presentation was used to show what technology helped me plan, develop and make my magazine. I went into detail into what camera was used and made a specific reference to what it helped me with and other equipment was used. It gives an idea of how planned my photoshoot had to be, and how much time and effort was given to ensure that I was producing a high standard magazine when using the different techniques on equipment.

Today I didnt have a lesson but I went to media during my lunch break. I decided to plan out what pages I am going too do and what it is going too look like. I plan to put this into place tomorrow during my lesson. I want to make sure that I have my second double page spread done soon so that I can move on too my front cover.
Questionnaire
Questionniare
I used this questionnaire to ask my target audience specifically what they wanted to be included, and what they look for when buying a magazine. It is an important part because it means that I should incorporate it within my magazine to ensure it would be appealing to my target audience if I was to show it to them. This could be referenced to throughout the planning, research and development of my magazine.

Proposal
Proposal
My proposal is outlining the genre, audience, institutions and representation of my magazine. It is setting it out clearly what I need to follow when designing my magazine, taking into consideration each of these points. The main ones I need to look at is the genre and audience. Without them segmented points in my proposal matching my final piece, it means that I haven't worked with the codes and conventions.

Pull Quotes
pull quotes
These were some idea's that I had when initially thinking about what sell lines I felt would be appropriate and would work well with the genre and topics which are incorporated within my magazine. These could be referred to when I was writing my article, it would of helped me decide on certain topics to mention and which ones wouldnt fit in aswell. I did include some of these sell lines, but some I decided not too. I used "I want to be one of the artists that inspires people" as i thought it was powerful and meaningful.

Draft article
Draft article
This is my first draft of my article. My article will be included within my magazine and will be the piece which will include all of the facts I have found out from the interests of my target audience. I will get feedback on my article and then decide whether or not I need to change or add certain aspects in. This isn't a set article which is definitely being included in my magazine because I am currently unsure on how much room will be needed for my magazine to fit in around my images and within the structure of my magazine. This means that I might need to cut it down or add more in.

In today's lesson, I added more onto my magazine double page spread draft. I wanted to find a font where it could layer over my models forehead, had a black outline but without a full. When I found one, I added it to my page after I designed it in photoshop. After this, the whole class did our focus group video where we spoke about our ideas and shared ideas. Tomorrow I am going to media at lunch to get some extra help and to add more and maybe start on my from cover draft.

Today whilst I was in class, I got some help with my double page spread draft. I decided on 2 images which I will use on Emily's side of the magazine. I got shown how to fade images and how to set out the magazine/how to add pages. All together my magazine is going to be 9 pages, so to get this done I am going to use my double in my next lesson and as many of my frees as I can.

In class today I have started to do my draft of my front cover. I am getting some help from one of my teachers as I am slightly unsure on how to use photoshop. Because I only have around half an hour, I plan to get the design sorted and chose the picture for my front cover.

Project log - 3rd December
I have been doing some work at home. I have started to think about what/who I want to include within my focus group. After speaking to my teacher about it, I am going to try to focus on being in a group with people who are doing the same genre as me. I think that this will make it a lot easier for me because we can get ideas from each other and come up with new ideas together.
