Time Plan

Deadline for Production:12/2/10 (Date today, 13th January)

= 3 weeks, 6 days until the final deadline.

Thursday 14/1/09 - Research and Planning: 4:10pm deadline

Research and planning is to include a detailed analysis of magazines (particularly of my own genre), and also to show an idea of how I want my magazine to be distributed and why. I also am to have included a final audience profile that I wish to have for my magazine, with rough sketches and design ideas, complimented with audience opinions etc.

By Sunday 24/1/09 - [One Week and Four Days]
- To have taken all of the photos necessary for the front cover, contents page and double page spreads etc. This needs to have included the organisation of props, setting, camera use, models etc. [For my props, I just need an electrical guitar, and "rock" clothes, the setting is to be against a brick all, I am using my own SLR camera - so I do not need to book one and my model shall be my friend, Edd Cook].
- I then need to have picked out the best photos from the photo shoot and edit them using Photoshop.
- Then I need to have written the basic words needed on each spread (being the cover, contents page and double page spreads), and to have added all of the appropriate text boxes and photos etc, to each page. I am going to do this all using Quark Express.

By Friday 29/1/09 - [Five Days]
- To have finished my front cover completely. Including the text, barcode, informational details, photos etc.
- I will complete this in my spare time at home, and in my frees. I shall also complete these in the lessons too.

By Wednesday 3/2/09 - [Five Days]
- To have finished my contents page completely. Including photos, text and titles.
- I shall complete this in my spare time at home, and in my frees. I shall I also carry on with this my lessons.

By Tuesday 9/2/09 - [Six Days]
- To have completely finished the double page spread; Including the text, text boxes and photos etc.
- I shall complete this in my spare time at home, and in my frees throughout the week. I shall also keep developing it in my lessons throughout the week.

By Friday 12/2/09 -DEADLINE DAY FOR PRACTICAL PRODUCTION- [3 days]
- To go over my final practical production, and make sure that everything is neat, correct - spelling-wise and complete overall. These final three days are my last chance to make sure that everything is sorted and finished. I need to make sure that my magazine is suitable for my targeted audience, and keeps to it's genre of rock, as planned. I also need to make sure that the fonts and sizes on my pages are the right size, and consistent where appropriate, and that the language is informal throughout my whole magazine design.
- I also need to have printed out all of the final versions of my practical production, and store them safetly until I need to give them in.
- I shall show my practical production to the target audience that I questioned, when planning for my magazine, and ask them if the final magazine lives up to their expectations.
- Overall, these three days are for polishing off my magazine, to make sure that it has the highest standards possible.
- This timeplan should help me reach the deadline with all of my work finished, at a quick pace, but one that is manageable.
