Week Task Completed

During the first week, I started the preliminary task and began to produce the front cover of my

school magazine. After this, I then began on the contents page of my

school magazine.

2

In the second week, I continued with the production of my contents page and made any improvements

to both my front cover and contents page.

Week Task Completed

In the third week, I then started my planning and research for my music magazine by looking at

existing media products. I created a log book to show all my research

into my music magazine.

4

I then carried out further research and decided on the genre of my magazine. I then researched into existing magazines of the same

genre and analyzed them.

Week Task Completed

5

I continued with my planning and research by producing an audience profile to help me decide who the

target audience were of my magazine.

6

After creating my audience profile, I then chose to create a

questionnaire which I planned to give to people who fit my target audience. The results from my

questionnaire would then help me when it came to producing my

music magazine.

Week Task Completed

7

I then collected the results of the questionnaires and based on these,

I produced hand drawn drafts which helped me to visualize my

magazine.

8

Using my hand drawn drafts and research which I had completed, I started the production of my front

cover by adding the basic conventions such as the masthead

and strapline.

Week Task Completed

I then continued with the production of my front cover by

adding more conventions such as the coverlines and began to

manipulate my main image using the magic wand tool.

10

I then finished manipulating my main image and added it onto my

front cover and also added the main headline.

Week Task Completed

I then began on the production of my contents page by adding the basic conventions to show the

layout of the page and also added my editorial which I had previously written as well as the image for my

contents page.

12

I then added the coverlines to the contents page and also added a

signature to my editorial.

Week Task Completed

13

I then started the production of my double page spread by

manipulating my main image using the magic wand tool and started to

write the interview.

14

I then added the interview and differentiated the text so that

readers could easily see who was the interviewer and who was the

‘star’ being interviewed.

Week Task Completed

15

I then added in a new main image, as the first one which I had planned

to use was of poor quality and didn’t fill up the page. As well as

this, I also moved the main headline and brief introduction so that it wouldn’t overlap with the

image.

16

Finally, I made a few final corrections before asking for

feedback from others.

Week Task Completed

I then started my evaluation where I began to assess my production work by looking at how similar it

was to my magazines of inspiration.

I carried on with the assessment of my production work and started to

add my photography planning.

Week Task Completed

19

I then finished off my photography planning for my front cover,

contents page and double page spread.

20

I then asked for feedback on my magazine pages. I did this by asking my target audience a

number of questions and getting them to write down their opinions

on a piece of paper.

Week Task Completed

21

I then made improvements on my magazine pages based on the feedback I

had received. After I had made these changes, I then asked a different group of people who were my target audience

to give me further improvements, by creating a group chat and sending them

screenshots of my magazine pages.

22

After I had received further feedback, I then made more improvements to make sure that my music magazine was at a

high standard. When these improvements were made, this was my

final copy of my magazine pages.
