Well boys you are behind on your deadlines.

You started today interviewing each other on your plans for this product.
What are you planning to do?
Who are you targetting? Primary target audience needs to be clearly identified in detail.
What genre of music are you creating the magazine for?
What is your concept for this issue?
Are you present a solo artist or band?
What are your colour themes - explain choices (semiotics)
What images / shots do you intend to use? Why?
How will you create these shots?
What will be in your double-page spread?

I remind you your research and planning stages on your blog should be complete.
You should be posting comments on other's work via their blogs too.
You will need to explain what feedback you were given on your ideas.

Gents by now you should all have:
- Completed your preliminary task: research, planning, production and evaluation

Your blogs need updating!

presentation, feedback and evaluation of your preliminary tasks

You should have finished your preliminary task today, your school magazine designs for front cover and contents. This is what you need to do now:

- explain what you were trying to achieve
- highlight your strengths - What went well? What went to plan?
- What was deliberate? What coincidence?
- Where are your weaknesses? What were the problems?
- What had you intended to do? Why did it not work?

producing continued

Second week of Production people - its time you looked at the brief again, look in the W:Drive, AS Media. This work is due to be presented next week!!!!!!!
if you haven't been using your free time to complete this project you will miss the deadline.
Your blogs equally show an inconsistant degree of effort and tenacity.
Will someone reading your blog understand:
- what you are doing?
- how you are doing it?
- Why you are doing it?
Look to the W:Drive and put in some time.

19/11/09 - producing

So gents you should have completed your research on school magazines and created your 'how to' guides , rules, codes and conventions school magazines follow.

This should all be clearly explained in your own blogs.

You should have also completed your planning - you should know what your school magazine:
- should look like
- colour scheme
- images / graphics you want
- text you need
- photos you need to take
This should be based on your research and targetted towards a specific audience.

Again this should all be thoroughly explained on your blog. You could post accompanying sketches where appropriate.

So now its time to make - remember to use your own images, manipulate in photoshop and design on InDesign.
As you progress keep a running record of what you are doing, why you are doing it and how? remeber to reflect on what you are learning, how your skills are developing and how you can improve your work.
