Tuesday 29th March

Production

Last week I created my first drafts of both my products, i spent Tuesday and Wednesday making my front cover and Thursday, Thursday night and Friday working on my double page spread. I wrote my article in my free time after college and it was complete by Thursday.

      I had issues on Thursday however as my double page spread wasn’t up to the standard it needed to be and Mark, a media teacher, gave me advice on what to change and what I needed to do to make my product better. This was a disaster for me and I feel very under pressure to be able to meet my deadline on Friday 1^st April, 3 days time. Mark showed me that making my double page spread on photoshop and then transferring it to In Design would make a much higher standard product. I have created a banner on my double page spread and I am going to completely changed my layout furthermore I am going to enlarge my image and make it cover over the double page spread to make my product high quality and make it look professional.

      This week is deadline week and I need to have my work completely finished to the best of my ability. This means that I will be using all my free time and my class time to complete my work. I will be stopping back at college on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night to get as much extra time as possible in my last week. My main focus is to make sure my double page spread is complete and looking good at high standard. I will spend the beginning of the week Tuesday, and Wednesday working on my double page spread to make sure it is complete in time for the deadline. I will then spend Thursday and Friday dinner time finishing off my front cover ready to hand in. I will have to use all the skills I have learnt on photoshop and In Design to be able to work at a fast pace and have my work complete ready for the deadline.

        The only possible problems that I could have this week is losing my work by it being deleted or damaged. This is why I need to save my work not only to the college network but to my memory stick every 20 minutes to ensure that none of my work is damaged or lost if there was a power cut or my memory stick went faulty.
