Production Diary #1

On 10th September 2013, we had to start our preliminary task. Our preliminary task was to make a school magazine featuring all sorts of current affairs happening in the school - we were allowed to make it up as long as if they were related to the pictures that would be contained in the magazine.

Firstly, we had to collect our images - we walked around the school taking pictures of various matters. I took pictures of the new food and new refurbishing of the school canteen. I thought of the headline 'Canteen Makeover' for my magazine.

Furthermore, at this time - the school was building a new gym - the gym was nowhere near finished and it looked like an explosion happened right in front of me. I took a few pictures of the scene, I thought of some good headlines like 'Science Test Went Wrong' or 'Haydon In The Rubble'.

I couldn't think of any more images to take - thus I took pictures of random aspects such as the school field, classrooms etc. We were walking down the corridor and it looked slightly spooky, I took a picture of it and thought about a feature of Haydon School being haunted.

We then transferred the images from our phones to the computer by school email. The application we used for our magazine was Adobe In Design - it was our first time using it but it was easy to figure out how to work it.

I started on my title first, I used font from 'dafont.com' (Bebas). It was black, simple and straightforward. Then I found the Haydon logo from the internet - I saved it and imported it onto my front cover and placed it next to the title. 

I still have some work to do but I will hopefully have it finished by tomorrow.
