All my front cover and contents page sketches are complete. Before starting any actual designs I want to plan my double page spread article and have the text written up so I can easily import it into quark express when it is needed. Therefore I continued with my Luciano Pavarotti research and started to write my article.
2/12/08
I continued writing my article. This took me a while as I wanted it to be of a magazine standard so I had to do draft after draft. I also spent time at home completing this.
3/12/08
I realised I had no sketches/designs for my double page spread therefore I set about designing these. I also planned my images, this was difficult as I couldn’t take a picture of Pavarotti I had to try and connote him. I decided on a picture of a woman in my target range looking on the internet at Pavarotti. To link this into my article I asked the women to give me a quote to add into my article, I have also included this into my designs.
“I’m a university student and like everybody else I love to sit down and relax by listening to some good music. My friends were surprised when they heard me listening to classical music when studying and chilling out, but they went on to listen to it themselves and realised it has meanings and emotions like other genre’s of music but it also has depth and soul. We know play it when studying as it is enjoyable but it also a known fact that it stimulates the mind which increases the brains potential. Pavarotti is in my 5 singers, his voice is so strong and powerful I wish I just had the chance to go to a concert and hear him live, that would have been absolutely mind blowing amazing. Another one is my top 5 is Kanye West, which shows you don’t have to just like classical music. When I discovered Pavarotti had a myspace page I was shocked but so glad as know I can keep up to date with different events going on regarding him and his wonderful voice” Laura Kenny 19 University of Reading
This is what she said to me.

Today I took time out of the lesson to take pictures of my images. This all went to plan, so I could start the designs on the computer tomorrow.
5/12/08
My images got lost therefore I had to re-capture them however the women I used was not available therefore I had to find someone of a similar age and into classical music themselves. When capturing my image I used similar mise en scene and camera angle as I didn’t want to differ from my sketches/designs. This has set me back. Unfortunately I cannot start the process at home over the weekend as I do not have quark express and my Adobe Photoshop is a different package. However I plan to spend my time wisely by finalizing all text I am going to have to import into quark express in the following weeks.
8/12/08
I started designing my contents page on quark express. I chose to do it in this order as I felt more confident with Photoshop therefore any help needed I need on quark I could ask for in lessons whereas I could do the front cover in my spare time. I already had my articles typed up in Microsoft Word they are listed below.

Unfortunately I missed today’s lesson as I was helping out at the schools production ‘The Wiz’. Due to the lack of my media packages I have at home I could not continue this in my spare time.
10/12/08
I continued with my contents page.
11/12/08
I asked my peers in my class (although I realize they are not my target audience) on their opinion of the layout. Their feedback advised me to change the organization of the images as they were very formal and structured. Unfortunately I did not have any more images suitable therefore I planned to take the remaining images over the Christmas break.
12/12/08
This is the last day before we break up before our Christmas break. I concluded not to start any other product as this would not be ideal with having the Christmas break. So I continued with the tweaking of my contents page which was possible without the use of all images.
