This is the Official Amped Magazine/Publication that I have created for my FMP. I produced this project individually. I designed this entirely on Adobe In-Design.

DISCLAIMER: The front cover may seem a little misleading, as it states there is 'exclusive interviews' when there are in fact no interviews in my magazine. I would try to change this, however a rasterized the image in Photoshop so it is now unable to be altered. Apologies for inconvenience.

Diary:
Today I began my overall Evaluation and polished my Music publication slightly. From the looks of things, I am due to hit the deadline, as I am certain that I shouldn't need more time to complete everything. I also updated my project Proposal, by adding my production schedule into it.

Diary:
Today I completed my Final Major Project. However, I only completed the actual product, I am yet to start the evaluation but I shall be completing that later this week. I completed my Magazine publication in In-Design and then converted it into a pdf. file.

Diary:
Today I worked on the final double page spread article, about David Bowie's legacy. I spent ages trying to decide how I should layout the final page, but eventually decided on a design that blended effectively with the rest of my magazine.

Daily Targets:
Add all text and images into magazine document (In-design).
Complete third and final article.
Improve Diary entires further.

Diary:
I spent the day listening to the various records that I am doing a brief review for on the second double page spread of my magazine publication. I am reviewing various current and upcoming 2016 album releases. I am aiming to write roughly 150 words for each album review, where I discuss the overall quality and sound, and the release date.

Daily Targets:
Implement all articles into In-Design
Wrap up Production
Add extra relevant images where needed

# data[].attributes.body
Diary:
Today I drafted all 3/4 music related articles, to a point where I don't really need to edit some of them any further apart from the odd typo or incorrect piece of information. After that I can implement them into In-Design. Saying that, I am yet to fully polish the "essential latest releases" since I only have about 100 words so far (aiming for 400).

Daily Targets:
Polish all drafted articles
Experiment with Adobe In-Design
Ensure all the information I have gathered is valid and non-copyrighted

# data[].attributes.body
Diary:
Today I fully began pre-production, I drafted all double page spread articles and gathered some images and references I can use for the final page layout.
We also had an In-design tutorial from one of the tutors, which is a professional publication editing software used by Journalism industry. This is the software I am using to design my music magazine.

Daily Targets:
Draft Opening Page Layout on Adobe In-Design
Draft first article (Break a leg Dave)
Draft Second article (The Essential Latest Releases)

# data[].attributes.body
Diary:
I was off today due to a tooth I had that weekend, however I completed what I could at home otherwise I am at risk of not meeting the 17th June deadline. This included the completion of the consent form, where I am on the only person involved in production.

No Daily Targets.

# data[].attributes.body
Diary:
Today I worked more on a rough layout and design for my online music publication on Word. I experimented with text, images, colour and page placement, however I still didn't get around to properly working on my written content, I expect to be working on that next week.
Where I previously said that I was going to edit my online music magazine using an online magazine editor provided by NME, well after being introduced to Adobe In-Design (which I didn't existed beforehand) I am now using that instead; especially since it is a professional software which accomplished publications use.

Daily Targets:
Improve diary entries
Plan layout and design for magazine
Finish all research documents

# data[].attributes.body
Diary:
Today I completed the production schedule and risk assessment, where I took into account when specific pieces of production would take place and the risks that concerned them.
As well as this, I planned out some more written content for my magazine, including 'The essential latest releases', 'reviews' and a'reflection of the time we live in'.

Daily Targets:
Improve Diary entries
Plan out more written content
Complete all research and start pre-production

# data[].attributes.body
Diary:
Today I completed my Research Analysis Summary and planned out my written content for the actual magazine. I am beginning to start pre-production.
In my research Analysis, I examined my Primary and Secondary Research, with some insight into how I conducted them and how valuable the data I gathered was.

Daily Targets:
Improve Diary entries
Plan out written content for magazine
Complete Research Analysis Summary

These Diary Entries will act as the Meeting Minutes, as I am working individually on all of the production. Hence why I haven't/will not be uploading any Meeting Minutes documents, my tutors have assured me of this.

Diary:
Today we visited Chelmsford's uni campus so, nothing productive towards my FMP was completed since I wasn't in college.
We spent the day at Chelmsford University learning about Student finance, budgeting, and why you should carry on with further education. I found the trip very beneficial, as the information I was given has completely swayed my opinion on university, and I am now considering attending university to achieve my degree after this course.

No Daily Targets.

Diary:
Today I worked more on my Research Analysis Summary and then completed the Existing Professional Practice and Job roles document. In this document I discussed the success of three popular journalists, Piers Morgan, Fiona Bruce and Jeremy Clarkson. I also wrote about what is typically expected from a magazine of newspaper editors point of view. I ensured that I Harvard referenced all pages that gave me significant and useful information.

Daily Targets:
Complete Existing Professional Practice
Get further with the Research Analysis Summary

# data[].attributes.body
Diary:
Today I completed some Primary and Secondary research, in the form of a Questionnaire and magazine research, as well as the type of role and expectations an editor should uphold. As a result I made a start on my Research Analysis Summary.
I also began the requirements and solutions document which will tie in to the risk assessment later on.

Daily Targets:
Continue further research
Complete further documentation, including research Analysis Summary, Job Roles and Existing Professional Practice.

Diary:
I have spent the last few lessons developing an idea for my Final Major Project. The mind map I produced gave me a chance to map out themes, formats and ideas to base my Final major Project on. After constructing a Moodboard I soon realised I wanted to write and construct my music magazine idea.
Once I'd decided on what I wanted to do, I created a presentation as visual representation of my idea.
Today I completed my Project Proposal and pitched my idea to my tutor, who is pleased for me to go ahead with the Music Magazine concept. I am naming the magazine 'Amped'. Since I am working on this project individually, my main role is the news and features editor.

Daily Targets:
Continue research
Complete further documentation

# data[].attributes.body
Diary:
Today I began my Project Proposal where I discussed my idea and how I plan to produce it over the next few weeks. In this document I reviewed my progress and achievements to date, I also talked about what Journalism I would like to go into and my production timeline.

Daily Targets:
Continue work on research, including Project Proposal
Complete Questionnaire/Focus Group and give to peers to fill out

Diary: Today I began production on Unit 8, the Final Major Project.
I started by completing Task 1A, where I produced a Mindmap of the various ideas I could choose for Unit 8. I did this by hand and have a physical copy of it to put into a folder at the end of the unit.  Those ideas ranged from, video, magazine, awareness campaign, short film etc. I ended up going with the creation of a music magazine.
I then completed Task 1B, where from the basis of my idea, I created a moodboard illustrating the look and feel of my magazine, that can be found below.

Daily Targets:
Complete Mindmap and Moodboard
Start primary and secondary research

# data[].attributes.body
This is the Moodboard I created as a representation of my Music Magazine idea.
(Formats when opened)
Task 1A I completely by hand, I have the original copy of it and have give a copy to one of my tutors.
