Project Log - 28th October

Today I plan to work out what I am going to do over half term. My deadline is to have done the audience by the time I go back to school. I have done a few extra things on my blog so I want to keep up to date on what I need to focus on. I plan to start my slides today and carry on throughout the rest of half term. I am going to spread it out equally throughout the week so it isn't an overwhelming amount of work.

The way that I had styled my masthead was important from the start. This piece of work can help me chose which one I would want to feature in my magazine. As the masthead is clearly visible on the front of the front cover, I would need to chose a font for my masthead that makes the page stand out from the rest. To increase my chances of this happening, I had to try several different fonts to see which one I preferred, which could then influence my decision on which font I should have for my actual masthead for my magazine. 

Location Ideas

Location Ideas
Some of the different locations that I originally thought of for my magazine weren't as practical as I would of hoped. I had to plan out where I believed would be a good place to ensure I could get the images which I had pictured to be featured in my magazine. It is important for me to get the right location as it could determine the success of my images, which could then make or break by magazine. This presentation helped me and showed my planning of the photoshoot. It proved to be time consuming and a struggle to find somewhere appropriate for the genre I was aiming for my magazine to be.

Today I have started my images ideas even though I am not in school. I want to keep up my progress in my work so that I can stay motivated to work. I am not sure that I am doing the work right but tomorrow I will go to see my media teacher and find out if I am doing it right or not. After my images ideas, I am going to show pictures of what equipment I have used for my photo shoot and maybe do the location ideas.

Project log - 24th October

In today's lesson I wasn't sure on what I was meant to be doing because we only had a single and we was going through what we have got left to do with our teacher individually. As I was near to the end I was trying to plan out what I can work on at home and I gave myself a deadline for when I want to have the 'image ideas' done by. Because I am not in tomorrow because of an interview I have which is during the time I have media, I am planning on emailing my teachers to find out what I missed and what I need to work on.

Project Log - 23rd October

Today I have spent my lunch break in media uploading my double page spread codes and conventions work. I have now got to find out what work I have to do this week as I am not in on Thursday and want to keep myself motivated to be completing the work.

Double page spread Codes and Conventions

Double Page Spread Codes and Conventions
This piece of work proved to be an idea of what I was needing to include in my magazine. As I was told to analyse the different double page spreads, it became more aware to me what exactly had to be included, and how I needed to start to plan it. Throughout the planning stages of creating our magazines, I realised the importance of referencing back to this presentation to remind me of what is included in professional magazines, and how I can use the high standard and analysis I carried out, to help to improve my own work.
