This document outlines a production plan for creating a magazine over three weeks. It involves deciding on a publication date, creating a schedule, acquiring content like articles and photos, editing the content, laying out the magazine pages, proofreading, sending the file to the printer, and distributing the printed magazines for sale. The schedule details tasks for each day including deciding the publication date, managing the schedule, making editorial decisions, acquiring and organizing content, sub-editing, page layout, proofreading, sending the file to the printer, and distribution.

Editorial and
budgetary
decision- From
this I decide which
types of article
ideas or topics,
news stories,
illustrations and
photographs will
be used in the
magazine. I will
also interpret how
expensive the
magazine is fitting
under the target
audience and to
also identify how
much money will
be invested in this
magazine.
Content
Acquisition-
On this day I
will organise
what will be
put into my
magazine. The
content can
vary to topics
used within
the issue to the
pictures used
of the artists
within the DPS.
