Over the Xmas break you should be aiming to:

• Complete first drafts of front covers/contents/dps (those of you who have now missed the Tuesday deadline will have marks deducted)
  
• Continue to demonstrate 'Research into similar products' (magazines)

There is also (with some people) scant evidence of 'organisation of actors, locations, costumes or props'

There is however, an abundance of beautiful work going on...keep it up!

Have a cool Yule.
