Project Monitoring 20.02.14

My final week of production saw me having to finish my product and get it handed in, I started off the week by getting my photos done for my article 'Jumpers for goalposts', the photo's were of a friend called Shane due to the fact my photo shoot had to change due to the fact I thought the imagery would look a lot better in the studio than in an exterior location.  The photo of Shane was posed in the studio with the use of jumpers and a ball to link with my article title, jumpers for goal posts.

I managed to finish this article and also I managed to finish my project by the deadline, by doing it to the best of my ability, I was able to add in a different variety of things to this final article, the use of drop shadow on my header, the use of a tilt on my sell button and the use of a quote insert as I feel this would give it a youthful feel if it wasn't dull and boring.
I managed to stick to my schedule as this was a week that was a week dedicated to finishing my project and allowing time for contingency, I finished my product even though I did have slight set backs like the change of model and photoshoot.
I feel my project is very well done as it is a strong product and seems very youthful and very much aimed at sports fans.

Contingency Plan

Contingency plan

Problem	How will you avoid or solve this problem?
Models do not turn up to your shoot.	You can avoid this problem by making sure they know specifically the date and times and work out a date and time that is perfect for you and your models. You could solve this by having a back up model on standby.
Models not turning up with correct costume.	Tell them the night before what they need to wear, go through with them what you want them to wear, and maybe go to their house and decide yourself, also you could avoid this by bringing a spare costume in case they forget.
Memory sticks getting lost.	Back it up on your workspace and make sure you save in a certain file, you could even make two files just in case you have them there. You could back it up on two memory sticks, or just not use a memory stick at all.
Cameras running out of batteries.	You could ask the person helping you too have back up batteries, or make sure you bring some in with you.
Props going missing.	Make sure your props are already the night before and have them in a bag ready to take to college the next day, if they go missing, make sure you have got back ups that you can put in the bag, try and get 2 of each prop.
Not enough time scheduled for complex shots.	Make sure your shots are ready and you know exactly what you are doing the night before, plan well ahead and maybe write down or draw a diagram of how you want your set, or go for a more simple idea that still looks good and puts the message across.
Running out of network space.	The day before make sure you have enough network space to be able to store the photos, make sure you have files they can be stored in to and delete any unnecessary documents that make take up space.
Equipment failure	The day before check the equipment and make sure it works, do and make sure everything is in order so that the shoot will be well done.
Vital files getting deleted.	Make sure you save them to two files or workspaces so you have copies or save them on a workspace at home, and even save them on a memory stick if you have to.

This week has been a very productive week, I have been able to get on well with another double page spread and I have really got far with it, this means I have more or less finished 2 double page spreads and finished my contents and front cover, I changed my front cover, I changed my fonts and the layout to make sure that my front cover looks a lot more dynamic and a lot more like a front cover as I feel the fonts made it look a bit childish and silly, the fonts I chose were 'Rockwell' and 'Fragile Bombers' and I chose these as they are a lot more dynamic and professional than my others, they made my magazine look a lot better.

 I feel I have come a long way with my front cover and it looks a lot better now than it did before, looks more attractive and appealing.

I feel I have come a long way and I have also done my Double Page Spread, I havent fully followed my flat plans but I feel it looks a lot better and a lot more dynamic.

I feel I have come a long way and it looks rather good, I feel it looks good with the colour schemes and the different fonts.  The fonts I have used are a lot stronger and in your face. The two fonts that I used were 'American Purpose' and "Headline One' I feel these fonts were a lot smarter and a lot more professional and it made it look better, another tecnhique i used was text wrap I have used this before and I feel it looks effective and verty clever, i also again used poloroid as it is a small effect that looks really clever and professional, another thing that I did was use drop cap as this draws your eye to the start of the article.

As for my schedule this week I was suppose to be getting on with my Double Page spreads and I have done, I am very up to date with them.

This week I have been finishing off my contents page, and I feel now that it is nearly finished, another thing that I got under way this week was one of my double page spreads of my 3rd article 'Try Harder' and I feel like I have come far with this and it is nearly done, It doesnt exactly look like my flat plan but I feel it looks a lot better than how I planned, I feel that it looks a lot neater and a lot more organised, I have kept the same colour scheme through out my magazine so it looks a lot more controlled and organised and I fel the blue and black I have chosen are good colours that can be shown to boys. My week so far has been very productive I feel, due to the fact I have got a lot done and have done pretty well with keeping my time. I feel it went rather smoothly and ran well, this is purley because I worked hard this week, got my head down and tried to achieve something this week, on MondayI opted to finish my contents as I felt if I got that out of the way it would help me move a long well, and on Tuesday and Wednesday I started and got on with my Double Page Spread, I feel this was a good thning to do as it meant my productiom would go well along.

 According to my schedule I was meant to be starting the templates for my Double Page Spread's I was meant to be able to be adding things in and designing them, but I decided that it would be a good idea to just start my 3rd one as it meant it would be moving forward well and be getting a lot done. I added some poloroid pictures in to my DPS as I thought it would be clever and look good, I am happy with that because I think it allows the reader to see a lot more photos and it not to be too text heavy, it seems a bit plain and I feel there isnt a lot of colour so I feel that I could maybe try add in some colour.

Project Monitoring 30.1.2014

This week according to my schedule I was suppose to be writing my last 2 articles that need to be written and I have completed both of these articles, I completed my first article that needed to be written last week when I had free time and I felt if i was able to complete this article then, then it would set me in good stead and I would be in a good position, my last article was completed this week again in some free time that I had, so I feel that I have compeleted some of the aims that I set my self for this week.  I took my time to write these articles and looked in to my research, and looked at my article plans about how I am going to write some certain articles. Another thing that needed to be completed was some photo edits that needed to be done, but I feel have already edited the photos in a way I feel will make them look a lot better, I did this when I had finished my photo's this is because I feel that if I did it then, then I wouldnt need to go back and edit them another time, and like doing my article it would set me in good stead. The edits that I did were to enhance the colour, make them brighter and make them seem a lot more appealing by putting 'auto-colour' on and other little things such as enhcancing the contrast and saturation to make sure that my models looked positive and a lot more attractive, I also went through and looked at their face and used 'spot healing tool' to enhance spots and make sure there were no faults with in the face. One of my other aims was to start my front cover, I started my front cover a while back as I felt if I started it early I would be able to carry on well and it would allow me to move forward more flutently and successfully, my front cover is nearly finished, I haven't given it the final touces as I have moved on to my contents page as I feel I need to move at a quick pace and get things started to give me a good chance of hitting the deadline. I feel that my actions went to plan. because I have been able to atleast start or in some cases finish the aims I gave myself, such as my articles and the starting and nearly finished front cover.  A positive of my work is that I havent had to relate to my contingency as nothing has gone wrong just minor changes that I feel have helped my product, like instead of using two models on my front cover, going for one to give my self more space and a larger area to be able to work with.

I feel that I have focused well on my aims and have managed to follow the aims I set my self, such as my front cover I haven't changed a lot and I haven't really changed a lot, I have just made changes that I feel will enhance my grade, such as my contents page I have changed the layout to one I saw in Four Four Two as I feel it is effective and looks rather good.
