Project Monitoring week beginning 27th Jan

This week I have done well as I have completed pretty much everything I planned to do in my schedule. The last thing I need to complete in my spare time is putting my York article into the layout I have made and make any final tweaks.
The beginning of the week started well as I managed to quickly get my young farming article written. I really enjoyed writing this piece and I then inputted it into a simple layout as show below. I have planned my photoshoot with the girl mentioned in my article and this well be happening next week. 
This week I have also almost finished my York city guide article and this will not take much more work to complete. I then need to create my layout but I have not done this yet as my ideas are continuously changing.
I have spent some time looking at Cellardoor magazine and I really like the style of the publication. I am now thinking I will copy some of their layouts and my city guide is somewhere this is likely to apply.
Below I have included some information about Cellardoor magazine. It is no longer being published but is easily available online.

Cellardoor Magazine was created by close friends: Amy Power & Jade Cooper-Collins. We first created Cellardoor at University and are now branching out and developing our ideas further. 

Cellardoor is a quarterly online magazine for stylish and confident young women, who are interested in whats going on in the world. We offer a mix of fashion, music, film, art and cultural events - everything a young woman would need to know about. We take pride in the style and appearance of the magazine, creating a magazine that is beautiful as well as interesting, and a little different to the norm.

We're looking for contributors in all creative areas such as writers, photographers and designers. If you have any ideas of your own then pitches are welcome.

Thanks again & we look forward to hearing from you,
Cellardoor xo


I really like this layout and I am debating using a similar one for my York city guide. I think it is more appealing than the one I originally planned to use and I feel that this style will fit in well with the brand of my magazine. However I will include more images but they will be smaller as imagery as this is something that is important to my magazine and I don't see the point in  having such large images.

Next week I will be carrying out all of my photoshoots so will be able to input my images into my layouts. I will then be working on making adjustments to my layouts and articles.
