Production Monitoring Blog- 28th March

In my lessons last week, I simply continued with my magazine front cover. I changed certain elements of it, such as the font from ‘Myriad Pro’ to ‘Beer’ from dafont.com. I also changed the layout of the magazine, and added more elements to the front cover such as the price, images for the sell lines, and a bulb, to signify an offer. I learnt how to layer the image over text, so part of the model’s head now covers the masthead. I also made some minor changes to the double page spread, such as changing the fonts, and moving the header from the bottom of the first page to the top. I seemed to have problems installing fonts in the library at college, but this was resolved by installing the in the media room, and implementing them into my magazine.



In this week, I plan to continue to tidy up both the front cover and the double page spread, so that they as professional as possible. I will experiment with different elements on the front cover, but apart from that I think I am nearly finished, and do not have much more to do.



There are various things that could potentially go wrong this week. The files might corrupt, so like I have been since the start of my project, I will continue to save different versions of each file. I might also run out of network space as the project is getting bigger and bigger as I work on it. To prevent this, I will monitor the remaining network space I have, and when it gets small, I will delete more items off the network. The computers may also crash, so again like I have been, I will save my work about every 10-15 minutes when working on it. The fonts may continue to not install on the C: Drive in the library, but this doesn’t matter, as I am nearly finished, and will probably not need to work on my project in the library.
