14th December, Friday
- I worked on my contents paged by putting blue bars around the headlines and around the 'content' to give it more of a bold look, able to catch the audience eye. Also still using the colours from my questionnaire and to go with my front cover.
- l began to set up my double paged spread choosing the correct font for the headline but because i hadnt done my interview yet i had to wait before i could do it.
17th December, Monday
- For my content page i filled in more pictures which i had taken before hand and choosing the best ones i filled them into the picture squares which i had layed out before hand.
- I worked on my front cover by fixing the barcode and changing the colours of some of the headlines.
- I was doing my interview today with the band member of 'fools on parade', so i was still unable to begin my double paged spreed just yet, so i worked more on my front cover still focusing on whether it was the right blue which i was using, as on some bit, it was hard to read and needed it to stand out abit more.
- I wrote in my diary entry on the week i had missed out in writing.
- The night before i had wrote up the interview so i was ready to just copy and paste it onto my double paged and putting it into 3 columns and putting the font questions in a different colour so that it would stand out but still using the colour scheme from the begining.
- I wrote up at the begining a little bit of text to introduce them a little and make them sound amazing.
- I then chose a quote from the text and used it as the headline, which would catch the audiences attention and make them want to read it.
- My work was looked at by my teacher and i had to work on my front cover and do the things on it he wanted me too do, which were things like; make the picture go a little over the tittle, make the artist name stand out from the other text explaining what's happening, the different colour, put a bar at the bottom of it which will allow the "plus" to stand out alot more.
- I worked on the corrections, i was asked to do, struggled on how to get the image to go over the title though. I started the evaluation over the holidays, i had done question 4, on publisher.
10th January, Thursday
- Continued with the corrections, for my front cover magazine.
- Started doing question 2 of the evaluation on documents just so i can figure out how to make it better in presenting my work.
14th January, Monday
- Finished with my front cover completly, and had it checked.
- I printed off my contents page and got corrections on that and worked on those corrections throughout the lesson.
- Due to the fact i had to take some more pictures, i had to give in for thursday my content page was no where near complete.
15th January, Tuesday
- I completed the majority of the corrections on my content page, besides from the pictures, i needed 3 more pictures to go on side it.
- I worked on my double paged spread but unsure about the picture that i have used for it, since it isnt a very good picture i may just re-take the picture.
- I did more on my diary entry, wrote in some extra days i had missed.
- I tried to do question 6 of my evaluation task but bit unsure on whether it is correct.
- I wrote in my blog, and now i am up to date with it!
- Developed anything that needs to be done on my content although i am unable to do the pictures which i will do for tomorrow, since my camera was broke.
- I edited my content page by putting in a small image of my magazine in the corner, which i was told to do as part of my corrections, whether its right im not too sure.
- I also changed some of the wording in my double paged spread as i had made a couple of errors in spelling and some things even i could not understand.
- I editted the words in my double paged spread so that it was longer and sounded more interesting.
- I changed the font on the text in my content page because they were different fonts so changed it to 'Californian FB'.
- I added in the pictures i took on my content page although i am still missing a picture but i just need to find another model and then it will be filled in.
- Still not too sure on the picture of my double paged spread so im going to take some pictures of the artist.
- edited the image of my magazine in the corner of my content page to make it small enough to not take up so much room, but big enough so the readers are able to see what it is.
- I need to show my teacher my work and see what he say's that i should change.
- I also wrote up a tiny bit of question 3 of the evaluation and put it onto my blog.
- I changed the pictures on my content page, as the original picture of fools on parade was the same one that i used on my front cover.
- I then did some of my evaluation, question 2, and continued writing question 3, i am writing it out but later i will be uploading it onto either a voice clip or prezi.
- I changed the title font too 'Franklin Gothic Demi' as i then decided to look at my production that i had done months before hand with what fonts i would be using for different headlines and titles.
- I then added in a picture of my front cover to the corner of my contents page as many of the normal magazine would contain an image of there cover on their contents, i was then told to tilt it as it allowed it with more of an edge then if it was at a 0 degree angle.
- Sir looked at my work and told me some things that i needed to do on each of my front cover, my content page and my double paged spreed. Which did help alot.
- I worked on the following faults on my work so by changing the colours of my headlines so that they would stand out more, and to make the cap from the corner the same width, aswell as that i had to move things closer in like the Positioning statement and the web adress.
- Then on the bottome right corner i added the price onto the date of the magazine so that it would be parallel to the bar code as so being the same size aswell.
- I then went through to check for any spelling mistakes. Also filling in any capital letters where it was needed.
- I changed some of the colours on my front cover so that some of the words would stand out, and i really was not too sure about the colour order i had in the first place.
- I moved 'megan' abit more towards the centre so that it would stand out more with attraction towards the audience.
- Moving on too content page i then added numbers to the pictures that linked to the featured articles so that the readers would know, which picture linked to what page.
- I messed around with the fonts on my 'features' and 'regular' to fit with my Publication plan, and i think it looks alot better then it did, more attention grabing.
- Then on the double paged spreed i stretched 'fools on parade' and made it a lot bigger.
- I shortened the writing below the title on my double paged spreed as i was told that there was too much writing, and added 'Words and pictures Rhiannon Bescoby' next too it in a much smaller font but still able to read by the human eye.
- Went back to my front cover and added a black line around the words 'megan' so that it would stand out as its on a dark background.
- I then started to write up question 6 and some of 7 which later i will put into and audio.
- Sir again looked at my work so that for he could tick off that we were all done, except i needed to do some little things to mine.
- On my front cover, i added a black line around the writing which was white, and a white line around the black writing this made it instantly stand out.
- I had began to do a prezi of question 2 in my evaluation.
- I wrote up my diary entry, as i had missed out many dates.
- I finished my Prezi piece, i knew how to work Prezi as i had used it before so i knew it enough.
- Started to do my production of a front cover, content page and was going to do the DPS after.
- I started to add pictures i had used onto my blog, and was later going to put up the pictures i had taken throughout.
- I worked a lot on my blog as i had done my 'production of front cover, content page' and just had to put my DPS production onto slide share which only took my 5minutes really.
- I started to finish off my question 4 of the evaluation and uploaded it onto my blog.
- I uploaded all the pictures from my memory stick onto my blog and wrote a little bit on why i did not use those picture.
- I then filled out my diary entry.
- I began to start writting up some of the evaluations so that i was able to use that information when putting it into either an audio, Prezi, or anything else.
