Magazine

Hey guys,
I just went to the shop, and they said that it would cost around £15.00, So £5.00 each! They also said that we wouldn't need to arrange it like we were talking about with the front and back page together, but instead we just give them the PDF with each page separate and they would arrange it for us. However they don't do badges :'(

Peace out! X

Demonstration of Product

Hey peeps as part of the Work in progress we need to put together our work so far. Please can you send me files of documents below.

  • Timeline
  • Logo
  • Interviews
  • Tutorials
So i can put them together in Indesign. This will give me a chance to proof read all of our stuff.  I need all this stuff ASAP so i can get it done and posted so you guys can check it. 


Since some of the files might be bigger than emails can send anyone know of any good file hosting sites. If you do might be better to upload on to one of them so i can just download it.

Cheers
Katie xx

colour scheme

TASKS!!!!

Hey guys just a list of things i think need doing by next Tuesday!

Felix could you post the fonts up online and the CMYK value of colours that we decided in class. I'm going to put it into a quick style guide doc. They might want to see something like this in our work in progress deadline! Also if we can write up any interviews that we receive by next Tuesday would be a bonus.

Also tell me what you think, but how about we all choose 5 pages from a magazine with layouts we'd all like to use this will go down as research and we'll compare them next Tuesday! 

So:-
  • Upload fonts/colours to blog - Felix
  • Style Guide - Me (Katie)
  • Interviews - If possible
  • 5 page layouts - Group

Any problems just comment on this post or text/email me.
Cheers Katie x

Hello,

I am writing to you to enquire into the possibility of an interview for my group magazine project at University.  As part of the project we have to create a magazine on a chosen subject. We have chosen graphic design and as we are a fan of your work, we would really appreciate it if you could answer a few questions, which would be included in the magazine. This project will not be published and will only be used for educational purposes only.

I look forward to your reply.

Kind Regards

Katie Brown,

Here's my first ideas:

Pitch Document (First Draft)

Hey guys i have written out a brief pitch document. I think most of the things our there, however it needs going over. Im still really unsure to what "A skills audit, job specification & CV (for each team member)" will contain. Also reading through the brief it says we need to present it in the same style as our product, so i'm guessing InDesign. We don't have a theme yet, so we need to crack on with that and then we can finish this off. Let me know what you think. I will also e-mail you the document.


Cheers! X

Contracts!

Hey guy! I have attached two print screens to the blog, but I will send you the files by email. I decided to write up two contracts. One for each team member but also I decided to write one for Project manager which we can all sign. Let me know what you think of them, I can easily change them so if you want something adding or removing just let me know.

Cheers x
