Progress
Last week I planned out my articles and started writing up my final article, I also finished designing my mock up of my two front covers. I struggles to find a name for my magazine but I managed to over come this.

Targets
This week I should have my article finished by thursday, my double page spread should be at least half finished by wednesday. To do this I will have to attend after college sessions. I will have to learn how to use in design to a higher degree.

Contingencies
I may have a problem using in design there may be something I don't know how to do, if this does happen I will watch a editorial about how to do it.
