Media Coursework Update 10
Since my return from the New York trip i have been working on my construction of my magazine. I have fallen behind whilst catching up with other subjects and my time management has become an issue. To solve this problem i plan to timetible my workload so that i spend an equal amount of time for each subject, especially focussing time towards the subjects i am behind in. I will come to as many revision sessions in the Easter holidays as possible so that i can use the college facililities to get work done. I think if i put enough effort in i can catch up where i have fallen behind. I previously addressed time management an issue as i knew it would be problematic when trying to reach deadlines. Im going to focus on working at a steady pace so that i reach my final deadline rather than getting worked up over preliminary deadlines.

New Smart Targets
From recieving feedback from my teacher on my research and planning i can see i
need to work on my developement and my exploration of my work. My work is
under-developed and therefore not up to a high
enough standard which i am capable of achieving.
Another key issue from my original Smart Targets which has remained a problem is time management. After meetings and discussions with my teachers i have planned to timetable my work load for each week around my schedule so that i balance my workload. I also plan to use the easter revision seshions to catch up and improve my work.
Finally i need to proof read all of my work, after reading through some of my teachers comments i can see many sentence faults, both with grammer and spelling.To improve this i need to read through my work again before publishing or printing anything and possibly getting someone else to read my work too to proof read it.

- Below font size you can tighten up line spacing also.
- To change a text's boldness go to the bottom right corner and edit the weight of the stroke.
- To align text from this...
- To something like this...
- By clicking the indent tool like so until you are happy...
- To give your text box a background colour select your text box and click the fill tab like demonstrated below and choose a colour.
OR
- How to create a barcode from scratch-
- Use the rectangle tool to draw a rectangle of a reasonable size.
