Magazine production


 I have added to my front cover for the first edition but I now need to add price and date information along with my main coverline and sell lines.


I have adjusted the layout of my contents pages and now need to add my editor's letters along with my contents.

Magazine production



 I have added images to my contents pages and I am considering changing my subtitles to fit my images better. I am going to write my contents over the weekend along with my cover lines so that I can add these to my print products on Monday.

Magazine production








 Here is my current progress on my print products. I still need to write my editor's letters and write my contents on both contents pages, I also need to add cover lines to my front covers, but I am happy with my images and how I have edited them and placed them.

Website production

 I have continued editing the 'fashion' tab of my blog, encouraging the audience to interact by purchasing the dress worn by the cover star of my first edition.
