This is the schedule for my magazine project. I have organised this schedule so the tasks I am strongest at (article writing and research) are done first, leaving me more time to focus on the weaker elements of my project. Because of this i feel that the schedule I have created is realistic as it allows me to finish everything withing good time giving my project a good quality.

In my schedule i have left some room at the end called "Finishing Touches." This is my time to add in anything else or make adjustments to my product to make it overall better. The big challenges will occur when the project is nearing its end as some of my weaker elements are set to be done in the last few weeks.
