Time Managment Review

I think I've kept fairly up to date throughout the production, although some parts were rushed in order to to reach deadlines. My blog was always pretty behind, as I'd do a task first then update my blog about it, slightly after. Also, I did a lot of work out of lessons, as it would have limited my time seriously if I'd only done work within lessons.

When doing my research I was constantly behind, generally because of the length of my analysis and the detail I went into. By the time I had to do my proposal pitch, I hadn't finished all my contents research therefore couldn't include conventions for it, although it was required. I did receive feedback not to forget about the contents, but it was just because I hadn't finished the research! But I eventually got up to date, and had a good solid idea of conventions and forms used in music magazines.

For my audience research, I managed to get that finished for my presentation, although it was rushed. I'd collected my research and got brief conclusions for the presentation, but I had to carry on my more in-depth analysis afterwards.

My planning was all done separately for cover, contents and DPS, so when we were were set the schedule when we were beginning creation, with deadlines of when drafts and finals were in, I had to build in time for planning. I was set about a week's worth of lessons to each piece of my product, but I managed to get everything in on time, some drafts even went in early, so my time management was great during this part of the production.

I'm now completed before the final deadline for our blogs, before our access is removed, so all I have left to do for a deadline is transform my evaluation into a presentation and wait for feedback on a certain evaluation question which is a bit ambiguous (therefore I'm not sure how to answer).
