Week 2

Tuesday 8th March
Our production schedule that we created last week came into use this week. I used it to let me know when I need to complete certain tasks and also use it as a checklist. I researched existing magazines and wrote down some names of some so that I could use them in my pitch later on next week.

Thursday 10th March
This lesson, I created a moodboard on my feelings and things that would be useful for my magazine. I made sure that I did not spend too long on it as it would waste valuable time. I then scanned it onto Adobe Photoshop and edited it, changing the contrast, brightness and adding other pictures to it.

Friday 11th March

Today I analysed a page out of an Empire magazine. I noted down all conventions that I knew was included on the page from my previous knowledge of magazine analysis from last year's media studies. I worked with Rebecca Turner and we found that our page was different to the pages from another magazine. The guidelines such as columns were different to what we expected, and they were not all of equal size so it did not co-inside with what we learnt previously. I photocopied the page so we both had a copy and now we're preparing to work on our pitch which is next friday, so we won't be focusing as much on the digital graphics side of the work, more on the practical side.
