Money!

We have finally made up to the right amount of money to get it all published. We needed £500 for getting it printed and have actually raised £530. We are all very proud and also have a page we can still use for another advert. The money break down is :

Stabo - £25

Lelly Jewellery - £20

Hair Care Bunch - £30

Dressing Room - £50

Burwash Manor - £50

Removal Comapny - £60

Anglia Ruskin Fashion - £60

Cambridge Marketing - £60

Professional Acd - £60

Bake Sale - £105

Donation - £10

We are deciding at this moment of time to sell the magazine for £2.50 which would make £625. This would split between the 3 of us which would be around £208 each. I (leanne) think this is great for our first magazine. Knowing this can make money we could always go for another issue if it all works out.

Edited Photo shoot

I (Leanne) have finally decided on the 6 photos out of many for the photoshoot pages. We needed a photo for each piece of clothing that was being shown off. When choosing which one to use I thought it be best we had a range of medium and long shots. Also I wanted there to be movement through out the photos and slightly broken bodies with the poses. I blurred the ones with out a blurred background to them so they all tied in together, and all have a photo filter on top, using an orange. I also air brushed all the girls using the mixer brush to give them smooth skin and get rid of any blumlishes.

Cake sale

Today we are doing a bake sale to raise money to get our magazine published. We have made a number of different cakes and are selling them to people around college. As well as selling cake this is a good way of getting people aware of what we are trying to do. At lot of people wanted to know more about the magazine and what we are making. This is a good way of getting people aware for when it comes to selling the magazine. It also shows that people want a college magazine and we now know there is a large audience for our magazine. 

It has also given us more of an idea of what content we need to make a good fashion magazine as we learnt what people were interested in and what they would want to buy. So people knew we were doing a cake sale we created this poster on the right hand side and posted them around college. We also made a facebook page and added people from college to the event, this was a good way of getting the bake sale noticed. 

Results

Holly took the money home to count it all up, I got a text around 5pm from Holly saying the total was a massive £105.38. 

 

Interview

For one of our features I  (Holly) went to do an interview with the company Stabo. This was a lot easier than them sending over information for the feature. I took notes on what she was saying and I recorded the interview so it was easier for when writing up the feature. I already had questions that I wanted to ask and I had sent them over to the company so they had an idea of what I was going ask. I asked the questions and let her add to any of the questions as she wanted. Once I had done the interview she also gave money for a quarter page advert. I then went and wrote the interview out into a feature using key elements from the recording and making it to a 350 word feature. As I wanted to make sure that all the content was true and I hadn't misunderstood any of the interview I sent over the feature to the company to make sure everything was correct. 

Baking - Amber

We are having a bake sale on friday to help raise money to get our magazine printed. Leanne, Holly and I all discussed what sort of goodies we would like to sell, I said I would make chocolate rice crispy cakes and cornflake cakes. I went to the shops to buy my ingredients and then got home to start baking. It took me around 2 and a half hours to make just over 50 cakes. 

Baking - Leanne

We are having a bake sale. I chose to make cupcakes, honeycomb/crunchies and rice crispie cakes. The cakes were only cooked and I will be decorating them when to get to college to make it easier to transport. The honeycomb was a 1st time go for me, it is very simple but hard to make sure you do not burn it. The rice crispie cakes were very simple and I brought Mr Men to decorate the top. The ingredients made more then I thought and had to buy a lot more chocolate.

I am hoping to raise around £50 with all my items
