To start the process of planning where all my images will be located. I will also gather together all the appropriate clothing and makeup in which the model will be wearing in the images. The next step I will take is to organize what camera equipment I will need on the day of taking the images.

The next task I will then begin is to p-lan out the layout and flat plan of my magazine, once I have established what will feature on each page I be able to organize where any advertisements or additional features will be placed.

I then will proceed into sketching drafts of the pages in which I need to complete, Front Cover, Contents Page and Double Page spread.

After the corrections have been made on both the magazine flat plan and my hand drawn drafts the process of making the pages can proceed, I will first start by setting up the templates for the pages and the features they contain on both Photoshop and InDesign.

After the basic layout of the pages has been completed I will then move on to selecting the colour scheme and font style I want to be used across all of the pages.

Today I will be taking the majority of images to be used across all my magazine pages; I will need to take all the photos in a variety of different locations.

On this day I will begin to edit all of the images I took the day previously. If there are any images that need to be retaken due to lack of lighting or quality I will schedule to retake them with the model that is appearing in the main story of this month’s issue.
