Diary Entry - 28/11/13;

Today I began my front cover construction but then realised that my images were too dark for my front page so i will be doing another shoot over the weekend and be constructing it this weekend.

Diary Entry - 27/11/13

Today i organised my folders and uploaded the construction to my contents page.

Diary Entry - 25/11/13

Today i continued with my contents page as my Photoshop didn't work at home this weekend. i will get this fixed tonight and continue with it to have it completed by next lesson.

Today I continued with my contents page;

This is stage four of my process of creating my contents page. I will complete this at home using Photoshop. I need to tidy up the page number boxes, add headings underneath my images on the right hand side and add a few more page numbers and detail to the contents page. I may also add a editorial note. I will ensure this is completed over the weekend.

Today I had to begin my contents page again as I had lost my work from the previous lesson. Here you can see in two stages how much i have completed today. Although, not as much work was completed as i had a little difficulty with how the text didn't appear on top of the image. Although, i solved the problem and continued.

Today, i re-wrote my article and gained feedback. This feedback was good and i will upload to my blog shortly. I will be creating my draft this weekend and taking more photo's this weekend. I will download Photoshop to do so and ensure it is completed by Monday.

Diary Entry - 14/11/13

Today I tried to create an article page with the images i had previously taken, which i didn't like. So this weekend i am going to take more photos and create the article draft at home. To do this i will need to download photo shop and then create them. Here you can see some images i moved around and tried to create an article page with but unfortunately i wasn't successful;

Today I have created my computer drafts for my front page, content page and double page. This helped me concentrate on how i want my layout for my magazine. this will also speed up the construction process of my magazine. These are uploaded to my planning page on my blog.
I also tidied up my planning page whilst Iwas uploading my computer drafts.

In this lesson I gave feedback to Ellie's article. I then updated my SMART targets that i had set myself at the start of course and related them to the feedback i received from Sophie. This was uploaded to the home page. Throughout the week I will ensure my weekly task sheets are completed. Although, all Photoshop work will need to be completed within college as i haven't got Photoshop on my facilities at home.

Update on smart targets;

Here you can see my smart target i had previously set myself whilst completing the course;

Specific - I'll use a plan giving time allocations for media and other subjects.

Measurable - The amount of hours i put into each of my subjects, including media.

Achievable - Ensure that the amount of time i allocate to each lesson is achievable amongst my timetable.

Realistic - Don't over work on subjects, ensure that they will be easy to keep up with.

Timebound - Ensure timing fits in with my time table and social and working life.

After receiving my feedback from Sophie about my blog so far i feel as though i need to concentrate on my measurable target to ensure more work is completed in the amount of time allocated.  I also feel as though i need to concentration on tidying my blog and have a clear layout and use of headings within my blog.

Today I uploaded my article feedback and commented on how this will effect my construction of my magazine. Here you can see a print screen of it;

I have also begun rewriting my article as I have commented on my article feedback analysis. I have also tidied my research page as Sophie commented on it as untidy. I have also gone through all of my task sheets and highlighted and ticked everything that I have completed. This will make it easier to see what I haven't completed and make me keep up to date with work. Over the weekend I will finish my weekly task sheet and ensure my blog is tidy.

Over the half term I took my images for my final magazine construction, although I need to move them onto my memory stick and bring them into college to upload through these computers. I will od this next lesson. I have been having difficulty to upload my podcast, as whenever I am home I upload it and it works but is inaccessible at home and doesn't even show up on any other computer when going to view. So I will be bringing in the podcast within my next couple of lessons to try and upload it in college and if this doesn't work I will have to re-record it and upload it then.

Today, I have received my comments from Sophie and my grade. I was given a c/b grade as I have a good standard of work but this needs to be carried out through all my work. I have gone through all the comments she has left on my blog and corrected them. For example, I have edited my prezi presentation to ensure it have more detail and how this will effect my designs of my construction of my magazine. Although, I haven't been able to edited my textual analysis as it saved at home, so tonight in my own time I will do so and re-upload it and hope that it will work and home.
