We also continue our magazine development post, and design the layout, masthead, coverlines and any possible design for my magazine before i finalize it. I also decided to not continue working in team with my friend, Sharon, because we find it really hard because we have so many ideas and we can't combine it all together.

This week, there's so many disruption so i was not able to come to class because there's ceremony, election day and other ceremony. Which is a problem because i will have to do the work alone at home and i can't ask for my teacher feedback or opinion. But i already have a progress for the cover page, contents and article, i wanted to change the article because i changed my mind and want to write about feminine empowerment through fashion rather than only focusing on fashion, so i will need more time to change the whole article and manage to finish all the magazine pages.

- Finish double page spread
- Finish contents page
- Finalize cover page.
Week 7
This week we had full project lesson where i actively ask my teacher for feedback and it helps a lot, i became understand of how do make an actual good magazine. Because i never knew that it was actually that hard and i need to put a lot of effort in detailing and taking care of small details like the accuracy of the coloumns, the guiding line which helps me a lot to arrange the whole magazine contents. But i really find this project hard and stressing.
(-) = lack of time management
to do: -Finish contents page and double page.
-Finish the whole magazine and input it in the online flip book
-Finihs self critical reflection
Week 8
This week we had full project lesson because the deadline of the magazine project is on thursday this week and i rushed to finish everything before thursday which stress me so much. Although i already do the magazine project every single day which means there is a lot of progress, but i still need time to finish the whole thing. This also affected by the full schedule of mine where i have 1 quiz 2 test and this media project on thursday which stress me that much and make me so overwhelmed. But i find this magazine project really hard because i have to put so much attention on small detail like i have to make sure that all the fonts that i am using on my magazine page are the same where i thought it wasnt really important because its not visible and i thought it looks the same. But i learned a lot of things from this magazine making and the research, especially from my teacher's feedback where i improved a lot on doing the layout of my magazine and learn about the composition of each page where its not good to have a lot of blank space in the middle so put the object in the middle and let the blank space be on the upper or the below page.
( - ) = full and hectic schedule this week, can't really focus on finishing media.
solution: spend one sleepless night before deadline to finish self critical reflection and every reflection on every blogpost.
