Monday 8th May

Today, I and Shane went out to central London in order to take some pictures for our magazine. We met at East Ham Station and made our way to London Bridge station. The equipment we had was a DSLR Cannon camera and a tripod. We took several pictures of each and every building we are going to feature in our magazine. Due to the height of the buildings we needed to go up a building and take pictures which we could fit within the cameras lens. So we went to Sky garden which is located at 20 Fenchurch St

FRIDAY 5TH MAY

Today I and Shane began to discuss and create the front cover of our magazine. We agreed upon most things and experimented with a few ideas. We decided that we wanted a sleek look to our magazine and that we wanted it to look somewhat similar to a GQ magazine in terms of the size. Our intention was to capture the eyes of our target audience with a sleek, professional and formal looking magazine cover and I believe we achieved that.

Thursday 4th May

Today I and Shane began thinking about the design of our magazine. This includes the design, text and positioning of images or graphics. To help us to do this the best way possible, Richard gave us a talk all about how magazines are made and gave us an in-depth explanation of the design of magazines that helped me develop my vision of what the magazine will look like. The first content we worked on was the title design and what we wanted to use. We designed several titles and finalised it down to one.

Wednesday 3rd May

Today I started and finished off my style sheet. I spoke to my partner Shane, in order to create something we will both have input in as well as what we would like. I also started off  by creating my Magazine Flat plan.

(No college for me, I was Ill) Although I was ill I did try to brainstorm some ideas, I looked online at several economical and architectural based magazines.
