Monitoring Log - 17/1/2014

This week, I had scheduled to write the first draft of my article “Diets. Dangerous or Delightful?”, make amendments on the InDesign product I made for my mock ups and perfect it to a level that I am happy with and gain feedback on the article I had just written from my target audience.  I successfully wrote the first draft of my article and planned a way in which I intended on gaining feedback, however due to the process of making amendments on my mock up, I was unable to find time to gain the feedback this week, to ensure that I do not fall behind in my schedule I have planned to gain this feedback at the start of next week.

When making amendments on my mock up, the main focus was to tidy it up and make it appear more professional, I hoped to do this by using advanced text wrap on my pull out quote, however this seemed more difficult than I first thought as there is a different process for doing it with text than there is with images, however with the guidance of my teacher I have now learnt how to do it. The next concern I had was the positioning of the pull out quote as I felt this was very important to get right, again this therefore made the process take longer,  therefore I decided to ask for the opinion of my teacher to see what she thought looked better. Below is a screen shot of the current positioning of my pull out quote and a comparison image of how it looked before I text wrapped it. 

Despite this struggle of text wrapping the text, which unfortunately made the process take longer than I hoped, I feel that everything ran smoothly this week.

This week I have revisited the skill of text wrapping and have now advanced my knowledge in the way that I now know how to text wrap text rather than just imagery. I feel this will benefit me greatly during the production stage as it will enable me to make my DPS’ look as professional as possible.
