Introduction to NEA

I feel overwhelmed with this brief, we have been asked to design a music magazine with a double page spread for 14-19-year-old that enjoy pop, R&B or indie. I am hoping to achieve this by Christmas time, and have everything ready such as everything on my blog that need to be added, and my final product to be ready and sent to the examiners. I am looking forward to be working with the models and be doing their hair, makeup and closet. Since my models will be my friends, it will be great fun working with them. However, I am not looking forward to be actually producing the magazine, this is because I’m quite scared that something will go wrong and mess up my whole magazine, hopefully everything goes as plan. By producing this final product, I am hoping to improve on my timing limit, this is because last year I didn't have enough time to produce a double page spread, and that was our task that we had to do, we only produced the front page which wasn't enough.  Hopefully this year I will be more organized and have planned everything out, and be ready to put on my blog. Planning everything out will cause way less stress as I know what I want, when. Also this year I am hoping to improve on my Photoshop skill, improving on the little things such as colour of the background, making sure i crop perfectly, so then my music magazine looks professional and looks like it would be in a store.
