SMART Targets :
In order to make sure that every task in this project is completed, and to keep on track of my work, I will create SMART targets for each step, each having a set time frame.
1. S- Final Creative Idea
M- When the ideas are explained and described in my blog, with enough depth for anyone reading to understand what i am hoping to achieve. Also, when I am able to verbally talk about my ideas.
A- will be agreed with Andreas and Jo
R- No specialist resources are required, just a computer to post blog.
T- 8th January, when i will give a presentation to my class about my ideas and plans
2. S- Research existing magazines.
M- When there are descriptions and annotation posted on my blog, with explanations as to why I like/dislike elements of the magazines style etc.
A- To be agreed with Andreas and Jo

T- Already started. will be finished during the Christmas holidays, to be completed by the presentation on the 8th January

M-When there is a clear section on my blog which shows that i have researched and thought in depth about which images to use
