Weekly Report 15th Feb - 19th Feb


Week Beginning 15th Feb

This week's tasks includes: 
  • Weekly Report for the week beginning 8th Feb.
  • Moderation of Photos.
  • Drafting Articles.
  • Front Cover photo.
  • Plan next weeks tasks- 22nd Feb.
  • Weekly Report.

The first task of this week was to complete the weekly report from last week due to having a sick day. This was completed on Tuesday 17th Feb.

The second task of the week was to complete the final stages of the moderation of the casting photos, which was to edit/crop the remaining 36 photos.

The next task was to draft the articles, their layout and possible photos that I would be using. I completed this task in Microsoft publisher as it has templates for magazines that are ready to use. The benefit of this is that it saves time and I was able to show my target audience a basic mock up of the page. It also means that when it comes to using Photoshop in a couple weeks time all I have to do is copy the layout.  

Then I started to put together potential front covers, this meant choosing a selection of photos that I had taken during the first stages of production, and placing them with different fonts, layouts and colour schemes. The difficulties with this is that I was finding it difficult to keep to the original pitch of educating a general through wildlife. However, I have narrowed it down to two potential designs: A giraffe with a vertical mast head and the sneak peaks for the articles along the bottom; and a child climbing a tree on the right hand side with the sneak peaks of the articles on the left, it also has a horizontal masthead. These front cover need to be shown to a focus group to choose the final layout.

Lastly, I had to plan the tasks for the week beginning 22nd Feb; these tasks include photo shopping a UAE map for one of the smaller articles and finalizing the content for articles 2 and 3.

The last task was to complete the weekly report.
