Planning: Looking back...

Looking back to the beginning of the project we had 4 months to  research on our target market, make our front cover, contents page, DPS and the evaluation. During the research of our target market and analysising two front covers from two magazines, everything was going according to the project plan. When we started to make the publications, we found that some publications took more time than other.
At the start, I found that the front cover took the longest as we had to follow what our research told us about our target market; about the colour scheme, the type of genre etc. After completing the front cover, I found that the other publications took less time as the colour scheme etc would have to be the same as it would have to stay consistent with the front cover.
Instead of making the contents page (TOC) after completing the front cover, we made the DPS instead. This is because in the practise project,we have already made a TOC on the school magazine but did not do a DPS for it, and so it would be appropiate to spend more time on the DPS.
In the middle of making each publication, we also had to analyize each publication as well; like the front cover. Analyising the contents page and front cover didn't take too long as we did this in the earlier project. However, the DPS took about two weeks, seeing that we had to make the presentation and present it to everyone whilst being filmed (video of the presentation is on the blog).
Overall, it took us 4 months to complete the three publications and the research alone. We have yet to present our evaluations, however this will be done shortly.
