Over the course of the 4 weeks, I needed to also add in my News of the day stories into my research folder and any other leaflets or brochures.
The Majority of Sonia's set assignments were completed over the space of a few weeks but it was a case of adding in bits and putting it onto Joomag, this also meant that the majority of it needed reformatting and changing such as images and sourcing the text. I also had a lot of loose sheets that needed to be filed and organised into my folder. During this week I also started to get ill again and develop more of a cough so once again this meant my work ethic was slower and less motivated.
The last few weeks of the project was very stressful because I am a perfectionist and we did not have all lessons to complete Joomag as it was Retail Congress week so I had to take it upon myself even more to do extra work that didn't get done at college at home. With sketchbook being due as well, I needed to recheck that and see if there was anything that could be added before handing it in. After the sketchbook was handed in I felt a little bit more relieved that I only had one thing to focus on.
Overall, I am happy with the way everything is turning out and now I do not have a job I am finding it easier to get ahead and organised. The days I am not at college I assigned mainly every Thursday and Friday to complete at least 4 - 6 hours of work whether it be something this is a big or small task. Joomag did take getting used to and at first I did really hate it and along the way I occurred problems such as it does not have Spell check or you can't duplicate pages but I had to result into alternative methods to fix these problems. If I was to do It again, I may consider typing everything out onto word first and then copying into Joomag because then I would not have to Proof read and Spell check as many times and over the whole article. I would also read the brief very thoroughly and ask any questions I had from the outset and I think this would make it easier to complete the tasks and gain a full understanding of them. Although, creating all the different Videos were time consuming I did enjoy them as it is a different method of targeting your audience and some people are more engaged through the means of videos then text.
