Production schedule

Day 1: Planning – letting everyone know what they’re doing, giving a general layout of how the following schedule is going to take place. Time management – stating how long each session is going to take place

Day 2: Photo shoot – the actual photos will be taken for the cover, contents page and double page spread in this session

Day 3: Editing – not all the photos taken in the previous session will be perfect so photo editing is an important part of the production schedule

Day 4: Designing the front cover – once the pictures have been edited, work should be started on the front cover. This includes designing the masthead, cover line, slogan and so on

Day 5: Designing the contents page – what is going to be in the magazine needs to be carefully thought about so that the contents page can be the next priority in the designing and production of the magazine

Day 6: Designing the double page spread article – the content of the double page spread needs to have been thought about so that its production and design can begin

Day 7: Final adjustments/refining – once the major components of the magazine have been covered, smaller, minor aspects can be looked at

such as spell checks and quality of the pictures/text
