Action plan

Action plan for Linked Production:

Week 1 (15th Feb - 19th Feb) - Start researching more magazines and looking at the codes and conventions used. We will need to do this by looking at our competitors closely e.g. Bliss. We will also need to look at the publishers of the magazine to see what publishers we have to compete with. This week will be based on just researching competitors and making sure we have as much information that we need on the competitors.

Week 2 (22nd Feb - 26th Feb) - This week we will need to focus on the images that we are going to use for the magazine. We will need to make sure that we have enough images and if we need any more. This will involve looking at the images that we will need for the actual features and the image that we will use for the front cover as we will need to find an attractive front cover image.

Week 3 (1st March - 5th March) - Start doing mock ups. We will need to focus on the mock ups of the magazine and its features this week to make sure that we have some idea of what layout to follow for the magazine. This will also help us to plan our magazine and ensure that it is well thought. In this week, we will just be focusing on mock ups and doing a couple of mock ups each and seeing which one is the best for the magazine.

Week 4 (8th March - 12th March) - After finalising the mock up we have chosen for the magazine, we will begin to create the front cover of the magazine and do one feature which will be the feature on gang movies which is based on Aqeel's critical investigation. By this we will be able to get it done quickly as we will have the whole week for the front cover and the feature. We will need to construct the front cover as a teen magazines would be like and write the article for the feature and add in the suitable images required for the feature.

Week 5 (15th March - 19th March) - This week we will focus on the second feature which is on celebrity influence which is based on Gurpreet's critical investigation. By this we will be able to do each feature week by week to ensure that we are spending as much time on it as possible and not rushing it. This will also make sure that the article can be adjusted around in the week and that we are writing the article in a teen style to ensure that the teens are attracted.

Week 6 (22nd March - 26th March) - This week we will focus on the last feature which is on typical teenagers and is based on Jawaria's critical investigation. We will have a week to do this feature too which will ensure that we have plenty of time for each feature to be completed. In this week, we will also put together all of the magazine and see how it looks together and if it has a slight problem, we can also adjust that in this week to ensure that everything is fine with the magazine and up to date.
