I have started working on my final magazine drafts, i have thought about this over the holidays and have changed my front cover picture as it looked extremely uncomfortable and over crowded, i think i should have one of the group members at the front.

I have not had a chance to do much as it was the christmas holidays, however i did catch some youtube tutorials on indesign and photoshop, they helped massively as i now have a vague idea what to do, and what tools do what however i am still quite oblivious to all this as it is quite new especially indesign!

I have experimented on a few pictures and come up with some drafts, they are not my best work but i have tried working on layout and structure and i have learnt a lot from looking at my drafts, i have A LOT of improvements to make, but it helped making a draft as i know what i have to do the next time. The colour scheme was horrendous and needs immediate change, it did not suit my genre, however i love my double paged spread, i would not change a thing except maybe the filter!

I have conducted my photo shoot, and i am extremely pleased with the outcome, it was a hard task but i enjoyed it all together. I thought that certain models were inexperienced and hard to construct, it was quite difficult directing them and getting them to listen. We played music to loosen up the models, and they came a little out of their shell!

I have thought about my location again, after talking to my teacher and several people, i have decided to book the school studio as my pictures need to be taken at a real studio and with a nice canvas. If i were to do it outdoors i would need extremely good lighting which is highly unlikely with the british weather. I have booked my photo shoot in the school studio, hopefully my models are free in time for the shoot!

Production log 13 – I like Unplugged the most as it ties in with the genre and has music connotations , i think it appeals very well with the audience intended. I personally really liked it, as unplugged sounds as if you are unplugging the music yet still getting music information when reading.

I have looked at location ideas for my shoot and have thought of a nice outdoors shoot, I like the whole autumn and nature shoot. I want it to look professional and fun at the same time!

- I have started thinking of names for my pop magazine and i have thought of the following choices 1. Beatsz 2. What's in! 3. N0tes 4. UnPluGGed 5. Broken Record I chose the majority of these names as it has music connnotations and have a catchy ring to it, my next step is to ask people in my focus group to see which name they like or conduct a survey.

- Today i have thought about publishing houses and which one i will inevitably use, my two options are an independent publishing and a powerhouse company, i have looked at the advantages and disadvantages of both and i still haven't made my mind up. I have also looked at the audience and colour scheme.

- I thought about my mast head and what kind of typography I’d use, so I went on the internet and found existing mastheads which I could copy or imitate, or use as an inspiration, my mast head has to be bold and eye catching. I also thought about the connotations and overall image of my masthead, people would get an overall idea of my magazine through the masthead.
