In my last lesson, I was working on my front cover for the whole lesson. After a talk with my teacher and some of my other class friends, I didn't feel like my front cover was as eye catching as I was aiming for. After doing my audience feedback I realised that all of my colours need to be brighter. Therefore I added a blue to the text. I colour picked from my models top so it looks so much more effective and bold.

In today's lesson I am planning on continiuing with my magazine second draft. As i have been experiencing some difficulties with scribd, I cannot upload some of my work, therefore I am waiting for my teacher to tell me whether to leave it or not. in the mean time, I am going to finish my third double page spread to make it look more effective and stand out more. I want it to be at a hgiher quality as my feedback was to make the page look more professional and use different ranges of images. As I have been told this, I re-done my photoshoot and I took them outside. Now I feel like I have more of a range images that I can use. I think this is more effective in comparison with my last image used on this page because it isnt as serious, therefore I feel like I am relating to my target audience more.

Today I got my feedback on my draft magazine. I was told a lot of feedback thats going to benefit on my 2nd draft. I started changing and improving my magazine today, and I will continue at home, in my free periods and during lessons. I have 2 weeks to complete my second draft therefore I decided to do another photoshoot. I am going to take some pictures outside so there is more if a variety in my magazine. I am going to do my photoshoot tomorrow.

Today I am going to carry on developing new ideas for my magazine and learning new skills on indesign. As this was homework for Christmas holidays, I do think that it has helped me learn the easiest ways of doing certain things, for example cutting out someone from the background. Knowing this and carrying on to develop my skills will allow me to work quicker at school.

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.

Today I didn't have a media lesson, but I went in during my free periods this morning and during my lunch break to make sure that I have completed the parts which I started in lesson. 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.

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.

Today I have thought of what I am going to do over the weekend. I want to upload my proposal and my draft article. I couldn't do this at school, therefore I need to do so at home. I am also going to plan out what I am going to put on my front cover so I can add it on Monday in lesson.

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.

Project log - 29th November

Today I plan to start my article and try and get as far through as I can. I have got some examples of peoples work from previous years for ideas. I am trying to focus on a modern day feel to the magazine which is how the teenagers would react to reading the magazine. I want it to relate-able for them.
