Time Keeping

Essay:

For book research I kept up to date with things by keeping a journal where everyday I updated my progress, wrote down books to research, topics to include and critical feedback comments from sessions.

Kept update with the the first few drafts by keeping reminders and ticking off when completed.

Towards the end of writing the essay I used sticky notes, various other notepads to keep on track, using tick boxes as I went to motivate to finish on time.

Practical:

Kept to tight schedule of producing the book over a course of three weeks. Photographers were contacted as soon as possible as a big amount of the publication relies on it. I found photographers were either really easy to work with or a challenge, some would contact me back within the same day and send the shots as soon as, whilst others agreed to be apart of the project, but never sent the photos - even after reminding them multiple times in a polite professional manor. It took some photographers two weeks to get the shots over, which delayed some of the design process. I designed the graphics as I got each set of photographs, which allowed a fresh approach to each design and gave me time to complete the magazine two weeks before the deadline. The magazine was sent off for production and arrived four days later which gave me time to assess the magazines standards and solve any issues.
