This week I am preparing for the deadline of my final major project. I have written my 300 word statement which will support my project and explain to the examiner what exactly I have done, and why I chose to do so.
Also in preparation for the end of this project I have written my 1500 word evaluation. I found this easy to write as I simply referred back to my blog posts to help me recap on each step of the project.

Revised budget
Now that I have finished my Major Project , I have looked at my proposed budget, I had to make a few changes to the budget:
This was the budget which was included in my proposal. However as I had to go to a different book printing company I had to make the following changes:
Cost of book - £90
(I ordered 2 - £113)
Total cost of makeup products - £76.50
Travel Expenses - £200
(Parking, Petrol etc)
Studio Cost - £0
Photographers and Models - £0
Total Budget - £389.50
I managed to come in under the proposed budget, and the most expensive expense of creating the project were parking and petrol, to get the the studio and shooting destinations.

I sent off my book!!
After checking, double checking and triple checking, today was a very exciting day, as I sent off my book for printing!!
I used a book printing company called Caromar, after they were highly recommended as the best book printer in southampton by another company. They had many options for me to choose from, however I finally opted for an a4 hardback book which is wire bound. I chose this as it looked very professional and the best option for me. I was told the process would take around a week to be completed, and I am very excited to see the finished result!!

Week Eleven 7/04/14
I have finally finished writing up an editing my book. I have completed my acknowledgments page, thanking everyone who had helped me om my project, for example stylists, photographers and models.
I have spent this week completing my front cover and blurb. For my front cover I wanted to show off one of my favourite images that I created for my manual. I wanted the title of my manual to be in bold clear font. I also created my back cover page. On this page I have included an image of me on set working on a model and brief explaination of what my manual is about.
However, this week i have encountered a problem as i tried to send of my book. I have my my book using 'Blurb', an Indesign plug in which i used to create books online, however as i went to send off my book, it repeatedly said there was an issue. After searching online for a resolution for this, many people have said it is an issue with the plug in and often cannot be resolved. I continuously tried to contact blurb customer service, however i never received a response.

Week Ten 31/03/14
Again this week I have spent most of my time makeuo eting my manual and editing pictures. I have nearly completed it and am just working on the final few pages.
This is going well, I have been to see my it teacher for more technical help, I have found these classes really helpful whilst completing book.
I have spent time this week completing the 'special occasion' section of my manual. In this section I have used some images of my make up and given examples of when this certain look can be worn. For example a cat eye liner and bold lip would be suitable for an evening out.
I have also included a day to night page which advises the reader how to adjust there makeup to make it suitable to last all day and to wear in the evening.
