Production blog write up 1

Blog write up: week 1
On the first week of production I did not expect the setting up of my front cover and DPS to take as long as it did.Creating the pages to make sure they were the right size for my magazine, the margins were all correct and the colour schemes would work together took a long time to get right. This has taken some time away from my production but it has made sure my final product will be more precise and better looking as a real magazine. The loss of production time is also dented by my photoshoot being the 12th March. It leaves me with enough time to finish my product although I believe it would have been easier if I had booked my photoshoot at a earlier time. If I were to do this again I would know to book my photoshoot a long time in advance to ensure I can create the product as best as it can be.

Once my pages were set up I was able to plan how the pages would look. On my DPS I placed all of the image boxes and text boxes so I know how my text and images are going to be set out. This gives me an advantage meaning that as soon as I get the images I want and have a well written article I will be able to put them straight into place. I also knew how I wanted to layout my front cover with a strapline and the image I was going to use for my front cover so then I just had to find the places I wanted to put my sell lines and other magazine front cover features such as the price and barcode.
