Progress:
Last week on Monday I ensured that I had all my props and that I had models, all for my photo shoot on Wednesday. I made sure I had back up models in case my other models became unavailable and ensured that my models were briefed on what they would need. Things went to plan for this task, however I did have to go to a few shops before I could find one of the items I needed for the photo shoot. This was red food colouring and I needed it as part of the make up. A contingency that I had in place was to put all my props in a box to ensure they were together and none of them get lost.
On Tuesday I made a layout plan of my front cover and made sure that I has both my double page spread flat plan, and my font cover flat plan so I knew what photos I needed on Wednesday. I needed to make sure that taking these types of photos were possible and needed to check that I have the right props for what I need.
Wednesday was my photo shoot. I made sure I took more than enough photos so I had a selection to choose from. I also made sure that I took photos at different angles and with different zooms so I could choose the photo that has the best effect. Most things went to plan. Looking back at the photos however, the make up on my models face wasn't covering everywhere I wanted it to, and therefore I would have it edit some of the make up so I could use it as my main image on my magazine cover. Contingencies I had in place was to make sure I had my images on my memory stick and college computer so that they wouldn't get lost. I also had to make sure I had enough time and that there was preparation done before the photo shoot so that I didn't waste time.
Thursday and Friday I was choosing what photos I wanted to use, planning where they were going and editing them. I needed to know what effect I wanted to achieve, and what I had to do to achieve it. I also experimented with different tools to find out if they are better to do. Everything ran smoothly, since I just started editing I made sure I was always saving my work. A contingency I had in place was to make sure my work was always backed up and not only on my memory stick, just in case any files got deleted or I lost my memory stick.
Throughout last week I have learnt how to use lighting equipment. I have learnt how to turn the lighting up and down and how to turn lights off. I have also developed my skills on photo shop and learnt how to use the spot healing tool and the patch tool.
Some of the pictures that I am going to use are:
Magazine cover - Main image.
Double page spread.

Targets:
This week I will just be making my front cover and double page spread. I will have to use both Photoshop and InDesign. I will have to develop my skill of using some different tools on Photoshop such as the use of layers. On InDesign I will have to learn how to use layers and develop my skills of placing images.

Contingencies:
Some problems that might occur are that memory sticks could get lost. Memory sticks could also become corrupt. A contingency that will be in place is for all my work to be backed up. Another thing that could go wrong is that computers can crash after spending a long time doing some work. To avoiding losing work, I will save my work at regular times. Also fonts can not be installed on C drives. To fix this I can save all my fonts on my memory stick or on my college computer and therefore I wont need to keep downloading the font, I will just need to install it.
