Due Date

So this is it the last day of the media project. Thank God! Got back my magazine, not exactly what I had expected but it works, thinking that I would have liked to print it on recycled paper but oh well. Anyway good luck to me!!

So as you see on the left I have managed to post some of the pages of the magazine. Enjoy...

Magazine printing now!

I called the printers today to follow up on the progress on the magazine, they said it would be ready by tomorrow morning at 9am. Last friday I submitted it and sat down with the graphics guy there to ensure the resolution is fine and that the bleed is ok as well and picked out the paper I wanted just to ensure that I got no surprises. Everything was well on that end so thats cool.

Looking back at my proposal submitted many things have changed in the sense of some of the articles I wanted to discuss as writers were slim on that end. I do hope tho that the target audience indicated in the proposal will be met in the magazine. I am proud of it, so regardless of what come of it grade wise I know i did my best!!

Forgot to mention, we have an exhibition coming up where we have to display our various media projects, I was thinking to use the projector in the school and to display the magazine website, people can turn the pages of the magazine and view it that way as well... I think it will work except for I am now thinking the light issues with the projector as I am sure the room will be well lit.

hmmmm

will have to figure something else out

PS i have added the final pdf to the blog check it out

Hey


So since I last signed in I showed Desiree where I had reached thus far, she gave me some comments about the layout for a garden spread I had done. I promised that I would have all of the magazine completed by the time I saw her again which was the following week, I fixed the issues she had with one of the spreads, I have been getting some problems finding ads so i decided that I would not try to fill the space with ads instead I found pictures and comments to make up the space. The last time I had to show my progress was on the 29th and Desiree suggested that I put in an Editors page which I did. It looks pretty good I sent it to be proof read and it was received well. I sent it to print today, was way over the budget, I only managed to be able to afford to print one copy. It came up to $300.00 for one print so, the other prints for the exhibition will have to be on normal paper. I will be collecting this print on monday. Will tell you how it looks.....

Out of touch

So the last couple days have been hectic but I have been working on the design layout of my magazine, I'm still having some issues figuring out the exact style guide as well as what should go after what in terms of topics and such, I'm meeting with one of my consultants today to get some assistance in terms of what should go where and some tips on the style guide.

Bye

Sigh!

So tomorrow we are supposed to be showing what we have done so far, I however thought I had the original magazine file saved but I didnt so... I have to start all over again, YEAH ME!!! Well at least I have an idea of how its going to look so i guess its not that bad... This is definitely not a good day and why did I not think to check for that before???

Sigh...
