Construction Schedule

Week 1- This week will be focussed on research and beginning the analysis of existing media products which are similar to what I would like to create (Front cover, Contents Page, and Double Page Spread). This includes gaining inspiration from the products and to begin to think of what conventions to maintain in my music magazine.

Week 2- I will complete rough drafts which will contain many standard conventions of a music magazine. I will complete a draft of a front cover, contents page, and double page spread, linking to my secondary research.

Week 3-I aim to conduct a photoshoot for my magazine, linking to my idea. I will need clear aims of what type of shots to take (close-up, long shot, etc.), also the location of my images and the model which I will choose to feature.

Week 4- I will begin editing my images on Photoshop using various skills including airbrushing and blemish removing, and I will begin to create my front cover.

Week 5- I aim to continue with the construction of my front cover including writing cover lines, making sure alignment is correct and fits my theme of genre and audience.

Week 6- I should begin my contents page, this includes a variety of images, labelled index and cover lines, and other important conventions.

Week 7- This week I aim to begin the construction of my double page spread, which will include placing templates and guides for my title, kicker, image, pull quote, etc.

Week 8- I aim to be adding the image to my double page spread, and finalising the contents page with additional images. For example, tour images to add, and possibly a small version of magazine for the subscription information.

Week 9- This week I should be aiming to write the feature article for my magazine’s double page spread. This will include different fonts for the kicker, headline, body text, and also include conventions of pull quotes and drop caps.

Week 10- By week 10 I should be adding the final touches to my media products this includes correcting any mistakes or alignment issues.
