Budget

Magazine article:
The price of a place in a magazine is mutual, as they will be providing us with publicity and we will also be providing them sales for their magazine.

CD (Digipak)  
A local Shropshire photographer named Mike Norman wold be a great person to use for the cover of the CD/Album. His prices start about £575, ranging to about £1,500. I have a budget of about £700 for a photographer.

Time Plan


Magazine: I will allow one week for the magazine article to be produced and published. This is the maximum amount of time that I will allow magazines are used to creating articles in a very short time. I researched it would take 1 day for the photo-shoot for the artist, 1 day to write up the article and create it, and 1 day to print. In total thats 3 days however I have given a 4 day leeway so that there is room for improvement and to make sire no packaging and posting issues arise.

Album (Digipak): After a short period or research for the album I will allow 2 weeks to produce the digipak. This is because it will take a minimum of 1 day to do the photoshoot, 1 day to produce the graphics and designs, 2 days to put it all together, 1 day to create the actual cd disk, and 3 days to get hold of the actual digipaks. Along side of this there is postage and delivery to think about, I also made sure after doing my research that i gave myself enough time to correct mistakes if any occur.

Flyer: Once again after lots of research I found that to produce, design and send my flyers it takes 4 days for that. it takes 2 days to actually print the flyer, then another 2 maybe 3 days at a push to post the flyers back to me. I've given one day for postage and printing problems to be sorted out (if any).
