Monitoring Log - 10/01/2014

I have organised my schedule in a way which will allow me to work my way through each section of my production. I have done this by sharing out the time equally between my three articles and my front cover and contents page. I have chosen to perfect my first article which I have already created mock ups for first as it means this is one fifth of my production that I will already be reasonably satisfied with.

I believe my schedule is realistic as I have considered other deadlines which I may be faced such as Extended Project, therefore I have considered other work which will be taking up my time. Although I have had to fit a lot of work into a short period of time I believe I will be able to complete it due to my time management skills.

I have built contingency time into my schedule towards the end of the time limit as it will allow me to catch up with any pieces that may need perfecting. This will become evident when I gain feedback and advice from my peers and assessor throughout the production stage.

The biggest challenges that I will face in my schedule will be completing the first draft of each piece within the time limit I have given myself. This is because I am unable to work on them at home due to not having access to InDesign or Photoshop.

This week I have managed to successfully complete my schedule with a realistic time scale which I believe I will be able to follow. I have also gained feedback from my target audience in terms of my flat plans. This has given me both positive and negative feedback which will enable me to create the most appealing and effective product for my target audience.
