From start to finish

I have now finished my front cover for my magazine but to help you understand the stages, what I’ve changed and how I’ve changed it I will upload the pictures of my progress.

This is the image I decided to use for my front cover magazine, after editing and adding a title (which I got from a font generator and edited to fit into my picture) this is what it looked like. (Below)
I then began to add anchorage onto my cover, along with the small essentials like a bar code, a price and month. Below is my finished front cover.
As I am an indecisive perfectionsit at the last minute I decided I didn't like the front cover, I felt as though it looked unprofessional. So I decided to put together another front cover to see if i could come up with anything else that would satisfy me. Below is what i came up with.
After reassurance from my target audience, that my original effort was fine and would be just what they would see and buy on a shelf I decided to keep my first front cover and hand it in.

All deadlines have been set!

We have been set a list of all our deadlines for the whole of our magazine to be completed, the dates below are what needs to be completed by that date;
Front Cover: 7th January
Contents Page: 18th February
Article: Friday 18th March
Evaluation: Friday 15th April

We have been informed that the deadlines are now immovable due to when the complete magazine needs to be handed into the examiner. I personally think that the immovable deadlines will help us crack on with our work and try harder to make it how we want it for the deadline.

Very idea of what my article may look like
