OK, so basically The Complete Music Update is a good resource. I clicked on the "deals" tab and got a whole range of interesting info about record deals, who has 'em, and what the artists can do...

Final Submission of Magazines and Blogs

Hi team,


Just to clarify, you all need to make sure your work is ready to be marked. Make sure you do the following by today:

• All 3 pages of your magazine should be printed in colour. The front cover and contents in A4 and the double page spread in A3. Get this done in reporgraphics. Hand it to me when it is printed. You may need to flatten your layers into one image prior to printing.
• The first thing should be a brief post with a note to the moderator if necessary.
• Underneath should come your final product. Make sure the size you choose for your images is such that I don't have to scroll left or right to view it.
• Underneath that should be all 3 pages from your preliminary task.
• Underneath that should be your evaluation, in order from question 1-7. Make sure that the question is also in the title of each post, don't just write "question 1". Check that all your videos, animations etc can be viewed and all links are working.
• Your research and planning is in the correct order and EVERYTHING is on your blog.
• Each post should be titled either research, planning or evaluation, along with a brief description of what the post is about.

Good luck.
