Monitoring

According to my schedule, this week I was supposed to be creating my Iphone App. This week I am not doing that, as I am working on my two magazine articles. I haven't started work on my Iphone App yet however this is okay because next week in my schedule I am down to start my magazine cover and articles, which I am doing this week. So I am not to schedule however I am still on track, the two weeks have just been swopped round so what I planned to do next week I will be doing next instead, and it will all be finished at the same time still. Last week I was off college and spent the time editing my magazine inside and outside, changing the layout of it as I wasn't happy with it, and I have showed this in the past two previous posts. I have done more changes to the front cover by adding effects to the images such as a cut out effect making them look slightly cartoonsih. I may decide to remove this later as at the minute I'm not too convinced by this. I haven't had to use any contigency as of yet as I am not behind, but I am a little messed up with my schedule as I am not doing the same things planned to do but still on track. I don't think the fact I'm not matching my schedule is too bad because its not putting me behind. This week in Photoshop I think I have learned some new skills, such as working alongside another image like the magazine cover for inspiriation. It gave me some ideas for my product and helped me quite a bit. I also learned the use of the cut out filter and the poster edges filter to make my models appear cartoon-ish. I hope that my client would be happy of my progress so far, I am on track and I don't think any problems have occured so far that he needs to be concered about. I am not worried that I won't be able to finish my products by Friday 11th, as I hope to have my articles wrote this week, and then have my Iphone App started by this Friday if not over the weekend.

I also did some research into other magazines this week, and found one that matches my colour scheme. I think the colour scheme of the red, gold looking colours and the blacks works well for this magazine, and so has made me realise that the colours I am using here will in fact work and do go together.
