Evaluation for ig4
Matthew Rogero created a football magazine for women called 'Extra Time' for his final project. He researched similar magazines for inspiration and used Adobe Photoshop to design page layouts and a masthead. He chose fonts from dafont.com and took photos of models on a football pitch to include in the magazine. Feedback praised the layout but noted the front cover lacked text. Overall, Matthew was pleased with his first magazine project.
Initial plans final
Tom initially felt worried about the project but became more confident after reading through it. He considered creating a magazine cover for a music artist or band, drawing on his passion for music. Alternatively, he thought of designing a mobile video game, an area he has general knowledge in.
Tom believes his strengths lie in designing ideas and researching to further develop his concepts. He is happy to specialize in an area he enjoys and sees the timeframe as sufficient to create good work. Some pros of his ideas are that he generated variety and ideas to expand on. However, some ideas like an advanced video game would be too difficult given his experience level and resources.
7. evaluation

The student also reflects on needing better time management and setting a more realistic schedule.
2. proposal
This proposal outlines a project to create a retro-themed gaming magazine targeted at males and females aged 18-25 from socioeconomic groups C1 and C2. The magazine will include game reviews, rumors, and a community forum to connect gamers. It will have a colorful retro design inspired by existing gaming magazines. The creator plans to conduct research on magazine layouts, build a website for the magazine with additional content like videos, and create sample advertisements. Evaluation will involve self-reflections and analyzing progress at different stages using screenshots. The schedule allocates weeks for research, experiments, planning, production, and evaluation.
3. research
The audience research showed that the target audience for the gaming magazine is predominantly male teenagers aged 15-20 who play video games regularly. They prefer to get their gaming news and information online rather than from physical magazines. While some read magazines monthly or weekly, online content will be key. The front cover and content of the magazine are most important for potential buyers. Information should be presented in both short facts and longer detailed articles. Readers expect to pay an average price point similar to established gaming magazines.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

REASIGNACION 2024 UGEL CHUPACA 2024 UGEL CHUPACA.pdf
1. initial plans
- 2. Initial Reaction My initial reaction to this project is I am happy about the amount of freedom have be given under the mediums of short film, video games, print and photography. With this freedom I think I am going to follow the print route as this was my highest marking rotation throughout this year as well as it being the most enjoyable topic. Within print I think I am going to focus on magazines and websites and I will probably base my magazine on my interests which is gaming, technology and music. Throughout this year my strengths have been in my web design which I used in the print rotation. Another strength is the photography I h did for my magazine and website. This was fun and therefor made it easier to do well on. My weaknesses throughout this year has mainly been time management and keeping to schedules however I plan on overcoming this by creating a strict time plan and making sure I stick it throughout the FMP. As for hardware and software I intend on using, I have my own laptop that I will be bringing into college which will allow me to keep all my work in a single location and means I can easily work on it at home. I will also be using a camera for taking photos that I will use in my magazine and website. For software I will be using programs such as Photoshop and InDesign as well as website building software that can be found online. Time management, as mentioned earlier, has been an issue in the past however with the right planning such as a Gantt chart. I intend on creating a time plan that I stick to and follow closely to make sure I get all the work completed by the deadline. Looking back on all my previous rotations my production has definitely been the strongest area of my projects with reflection being the weakest. Knowing this I will dedicate more time toward my reflection and possibly work faster with production to make up on the time I will be spending on my evaluation. For my FMP I think I am going to make a magazine front cover, double page spread and contents page as well as a website to go along side the magazine. It will most likely be about gaming as this is what interests me.
- 3. Mind Map
- 4. Mind Map
- 5. Mood Board
- 6. Mood Board Analysis Throughout my mood board it shows little repetition however this is due to the variety of games I have looked at. For example the difference between Fortnite and Player Unknowns Battlegrounds visually is that Fortnite boasts a very bright and vibrant, cartoon art style whereas PUBG has a dulled down more realistic colour pallet. For my actual magazine style I will probably use the stereotypical gaming colour scheme with a dark colour like a black or dark grey being the majority of the colour scheme alongside a very bright vibrant green, blue, orange or red. There is a repeated style with the CSGO player profiles in that it is a waist up shot of a player which is what I want to incorporate into my magazine and website. My mood board will influence more my content than my magazine layout as I already have a rough idea on how I want to layout my front cover and contents page. The content I want to include in my magazine and website is a mix of in game screenshots as well as photos taken by me of either big names in the eSports scene or the peripherals used by pro gamers.
