Progress:
This week I started to work on my Unit 3 work in more detail. I finished the AS Treatment article, mood board, schedule, two article ideas, two flat plans and rationales and 2 front cover design ideas.Day 1: I finished off my front cover and double page spread ideas. I started to write up my photo shoot plan and my flat plans/rationales.
Day 2: On day 2 I finished off my flat plans and rationales, I made sure that the rationales were written up well enough that when it came to making the final products, I could bounce my ideas back off them to help me produce them.
Day 3: I printed off all of the Unit 3 work so far, I made sure that everything was in the folder and was in order. This was everything from the AS Treatment Handbook all the way through to my Flat plans and rationales.
Day 4: I looked for fonts that represented the feeling that I wanted the magazine to put across. To do this, I used http://www.dafont.com/ and looked through the horror section. I wanted to create a feeling of fear. I then used the quotes that I had put in my story style planning document and I chose the best one to put across the top of the double spread page.
Day 5: Outside of lesson, I decided that I would come to the library and work on my ideas some more. I started to make up my front cover in Photoshop. I played around with the place of the masthead and the places where the pictures etc would go.
I feel as though everything did go to plan this week and I feel as though I can concentrate more on the production process now because the folder has been handed in, this means that I don’t have to worry about getting behind with any work.
This week, I have used Photoshop and InDesign a lot. This means that I have been actively learning. I have learnt how to layout my design effectively. I have also learnt how to smooth out photos etc. so that they look more professional.
Targets:
Next week I have to get right into the production of this final product.
Day 1: I am going to get the front cover sorted, I am going to put in the other photos for the posters etc and get the main parts of it done so that I just have to place my photos onto the page, ready for editing,
Day 2: I am going to take my photos on Wednesday the 23rd at 9:00, these then will be uploaded onto my system and I can start to sort through them, choosing the ones I need for the cover and the double page spread.
Day 3: I am going to write up my article and place the photo on the page. I am going to edit it first in Photoshop and put a red tint to the page.
Day 4: I will start to place the photos on to my front cover and start to edit the page.
Contingencies:
The problems that could occur this week are, the model not turning up or the computers not working. If the model doesn’t turn up then I will have to use my backup models instead.
This was my first design layout for my double page spread. I decided this looked too crowded and so I decided to change it.
This is my final design idea for the double page spread. I decided this was better because it is a lot less crowded and looks a lot more intimidating for the target audience.
This is the font I decided would be effective for the front cover. I learnt how to make the splashes around the font and so i put this into use and used it on this.
