Time Management- Week 12

In this lesson, I am going to continue editing my front cover, I have set a deadline that I will finish it by the 20th, then I will have time to design the contents page and double page spread by the 29th of January. I plan on also researching how to create neon letters because I want to use that type of typography for my contents page.

During the lesson, I managed to add more cover lines to my front page, and also watch a Youtube video on how to create neon lettering. It didn't work out as quite as how I had planned. Therefore I may not end up using this technique.

Time Management- Week 11

In this media lesson, my aim is to continue editing my photoshoot pictures, as the lighting was a little harsh.

Before Editing

After Editing

After my lesson, I can say I have completed an awful lot. I edited my model, by using the Spot Healing Tool, and added a layer mask to smooth the skin. I also decided on the font I will use throughout my magazine, which is Bebas Neue from dafont.com.

Time Management- Week 10

In this session, I am planning on creating my masthead for my front cover, I will have a look at different fonts, and analyse which would be best for my magazine. I will also work on some images from my photoshoot.

Time Management- Week 9

This week not a lot of progress has been made because my lecturer was not in to set us our tasks to complete, therefore I didn't really know what else I could do to improve my blog. Although, I took my own initiative and went to Sunderland University with my model to take the photos for my magazine. However, when I arrived there the technician, Colin Young, had forgotten to pencil in my session for the studio and someone else was using it at the time I arranged, so I had to reschedule for next Friday. This has set back my progress for this week too, because I had planned on starting my magazine design on Photoshop.

Time Management- Week 8

This week, there hasn't been that many tasks to complete, therefore I have been able to get them done in my media studies lesson, and been able to concentrate on other subjects more.

Time Management- Week 7

This week I have felt under pressure because there were quite a few tasks to complete. With hard work, I have managed to complete them all. Overall, I feel as though I am coping really well with the work load, and always manage to get my work done, even if I do have to finish it in the library or at home.

Time Management- Week 6

This week I feel as though there was a lot of work to be completed in the lesson. Therefore I have took it upon myself to finish most at home. Myself and a couple of other students tried to film our target audience research, however due to technical issues with the camera, we did not get this finished. Consequently, we have arranged to come to my house and film that blog post on Wednesday. I need to make sure this is done correctly so I do not fall behind. Furthermore, I did not have enough time to start the draft of my double page spread, so I will get this done on Tuesday.

Time Management- Week 5

This week, we had a lot of detailed tasks to complete, for this reason, I have decided to finish the flat plans and rationales in my Friday media lesson. So far, I feel as though every task has been reasonably easy, and if I haven't managed to complete all tasks set then I have taken the time at home to get them finished at my level of detail.

Time Management- Week 4

This week I managed to start my preliminary task in my media lesson, but from the preciseness of my work, was not able to finish it. Therefore, I will complete it tomorrow. However, I did manage to publish this time management post. In my opinion, I feel like I am managing my own time very well, and have gone above and behind to finish all tasks set.

Time Management- Week 3

This week I feel as though I haven't progressed as much as I would of liked. In the lesson, the class viewed a powerpoint, which our lecturer showed us and made us copy down notes. We also had to take images for our prelimenary task, which was done around the college. Even though there wasn't many tasks for me to do this week, it allowed me to go back and touch up/ improve any work on my blog that I thought needed to be done.

Time Management- Week 2

To make sure I complete all of my coursework on time, I have created a deadline for each piece of work. I feel as though my 2 and 3 quarter hour lesson isn't enough time to finish all of the tasks we have been given to thoroughly finish in the detail I would like to do. Therefore, I have took my own innovative and finished two pieces of work on Tuesday and Wednesday instead of rushing on my Monday Media lesson. See below my timetable for this week:

Time Management- Week 1

Throughout my first week of AS Media Studies, I think I have managed my own time very well. At the beginning of the week, my media class was very hectic and I did not get all of my work finished in college, therefore I took it home or to the college campus library to complete. I have now finished all of the work I have been requested to do, and feel confident that it is done to the best of my ability. It is very important that I use my own initiative and am responsible for my own time keeping skills, as if I fail to do so, it could result in me falling behind with my coursework, not being able to do my future tasks and achieving the grade I wish to get.
