Production Monitoring Blog 22nd March 2011
Last week I began to plan out and develop how my double page spread would look and the layout I desired for the article. I decided on three columns on each page as this seems to be about average for magazines and also it doesn't make it too crowded as I have quite a few other images and quotes making it busy so I need to keep the rest of the layout simple.
I had quite a lot of trouble last week with the fonts, as the font I wanted to use had a copright 'demo' writing all around the letters and therefore I have had to put it into Photo Shop, erase the 'demo' wording and edit the font to how I like it in there, before transferring it over again to In-design; and therefore this has put me behind schedule by quite a lot as I am still doing it.

I also had trouble with the font not loading properly on each computer when I come back to work on it again and so I have to keep downloading it, to overcome this problem I have saved the extracted fonts I want to use to my area so I can just paste them into 'my computer' each time I need to use it.

By the end of this week I want to have my article nearly finished and put into my double page spread and therefore I need to work hard to achieve this target. I want to have the double page spread pretty much finished and have all the finishing touches put to it by the end of the week so I can concentrate on my front cover when I have the images for it at the end of the week; this is another thing keeping my schedule behind as my photoshoot is not till this Friday, so I haven't been able to do much to my front cover.
