This document outlines the tasks, timelines, and progress for a project to produce two regional newspaper pages. It describes each step from initial planning through risk assessment, permissions, layout designs, draft creation, focus groups, and final production. Many steps were completed faster than planned due to the creator's experience and preparation, allowing them to stay on schedule. However, other commitments delayed some work and prevented getting ahead of schedule.

Risk Assessment 19/10/15 19/10/15 19/10/15 19/10/15 The risk assessmentdid not
take longas I am versed in
these types of assessments
and know exactly the
dangers and risks thatcould
occur duringthe production
of the two regional
newspaper pages.
Contingency 20/10/15 22/10/15 20/10/15 21/10/15 The contingency time was
good to re-assess someof
my work but I cut it sortto
continue with the
production of the two
regional newspaper pages.
Permissions 23/10/15 23/10/15 22/10/15 22/10/15 The permissions document
did not take long for me to
produce the slip then to get
the signatures of the
relevant parties due to the
signatures required being
given on the day thus saving
me time.
Layout Plans 24/10/15 27/10/15 24/10/15 24/10/15 The layoutplans did not
take as longas expected to
produce because I planned
in my head the layouts and
knew exactly what I wanted
to produce due to god
research.
Stories Plan 28/10/15 30/10/15 N/A N/A After evaluatingthe
production schedule, I
believed it best to produce
the text (content) when
producingthe drafts so that
when the layoutis decided.
There will be no wasted
content due to more
content than the draft
needed thus as a resultthe
content would not be very
well targeted at the

2. consumers.
Copyright 02/11/15 02/11/15 N/A N/A When producingthe
permission slips,itoccurred
to me that the permission
for images and content with
the copyrightissuecould be
given with the permission
slip atthe same time for the
one permission needed to
be allowed to convey their
story. This cut the
implementation stage down
tremendously and did not
waste any more time.
Shooting Script 03/11/15 05/11/15 03/11/15 04/11/15 The shootingscriptwas
completed on time and
unfortunately I did not get
ahead of the schedule
because other
commitments for other A-
Level subjects got in the
way which halted any
advancement in the
implementation phase.
Logo Final Design 13/11/15 13/11/15 13/11/15 13/11/15 The logo designs were not
hard to produce becauseof
the logo research already
completed earlier in the
year. This gave me great
ideas to produce for the
logo designs.I am quite
versed with Adobe
Photoshop CS6 now which
meant the designingof the
logos was extremely quicker
than expected as well which
meant no deadlines being
missed.
Create Adverts 06/11/25 06/11/15 06/11/15 06/11/15 The adverts were not hard
to create as regional
newspaper adverts arenot
extremely hard to produce

3. or give much thought about
which adverts to use which
was because of my
knowledge of the county.
Create Drafts 09/11/15 15/11/15 09/11/15 13/11/15 The drafts were finished on
the same day as the logo
was design was completed
which was because the rest
of the drafts were
completed but were
awaitingthe logo design to
be implemented.
Front Page Draft
Focus Group
25/11/15 25/11/15 25/11/15 25/11/15 Both focus groups
happened at the same time.
The focus groups were
meant to give a lot more
feedback about the drafts
and provide a decision on
which drafts/elements of
drafts to use for the final
design.
Second Page Draft
Focus Group
25/11/15 25/11/15 25/11/15 25/11/15
Editingof Images
and Texts
16/11/15 23/11/15 N/A N/A Through images that were
allowed for me to use (fair
use) or taken by myself,
needed no editing to be
done to them.
Produce Final
Pages
26/11/15 05/12/15 24/11/15 03/12/15 The final frontpage took a
lot of work to get the text
rightand to formulate the
images in the right way such
as redesigningone of the
images and replacingmany
of them with my own
images.
