This week hasn't gone as I would of liked it to and also how I planned it to. This is because I hadn't book my photoshoots early as I should of which meant that I couldn't get the slots I would of liked of been able to get. I have booked one of my photoshoots for today (thursday) this is the photoshoot for my Front Cover and my Apple Products double page spread. Because I couldn't get my photoshoots done this week it meant that I had time to do other work that needed to be done. Also because I wont be getting both my photoshoots done this week it means that I will have to make up extra time next week so that I can get my second shoot done as well as choose my images, edit them and get them onto my front cover/ DPS'.
This week I have been working on my contents page, in the first lesson of the week I looked at similar magazines to mine so I could get a brief idea of what other magazines do this also help give me an idea of what I wanted mine to look like. I then began setting up the page layout, making sure the page layout had all the right measurements for inside/outside gutters etc also making sure i had the right amount od columns. I also made the layout for where I was going to put the images on my contents page, I had to make sure that all my boxes for my images were the same size and that they all had the correct space so that I could fit all my images onto my page.
In the second lesson of the week I then went to put all the text onto my front cover I put them in the right fonts, size, and colour as well as placing them where I wanted them to go. In this lesson I looked at images and choose ones which I thought were suitable for my contents page after this I then placed these images onto my front cover making sure that none of them were stretched and they were all clear.
In the third lesson of week I spent time editing my contents page this included putting text and text boxes over my images so that they matched other text on my contents page I also had to make sure all the colours matched the text. This was time consuming as I had to write down the CMYK codes for each colour and then add them to my swatches so that I could put colour in my text boxes. This is what my contents page looks like after a week of working on it:
