Stayed awake in taylors until 6am to finalize the magazine.
At roughly 11pm, we were touching up on each of our designs and giving feedback to each other to improve our design. We also completed the necessary links to other pages.
At roughly 1:30am, we finished everything and now we were compiling everything to a single computer. Exports keep failing and we were getting tired and sleepy. Decided to watch youtube comedians Russell Peter and "Who on first, What on second and I Dont Know on third". Bear in mind we were waiting for exports to be done but it still failed.
At roughly 3am, PROBLEM FOUND! The content link was typed in wrongly. Then we had to learn how to link the pages to the correct vertical and object. Very confusing but we figured it out. Then each of us had to add an "id" to an object in the first vertical of their sections in order for the content page to work. Then we had to export everything again.
At roughly 5am, exporting has begun and we watched youtube videos again to keep us busy. Then an error popped up which I had no idea why. Then i tried again to export and the error still comes out. Then we decided to use Loke's computer to export and it worked fine. and we were DONE EXPORTING FINALLY AFTER 4 hours!
At 9am, presentation commenced and each group presented their work. Turns out our group was the most not-laggy work because we only used indesign to create everything while the other groups had edge animate content.
The comments were that the ootd section designs needed to be improved such as spacing, colors and "dont stretch images". Mr. Razif like our 'popcorn movie' section the most.
AND THAT'S IT! Done with an ipad magazine and it was a great learning experience to further explore indesign and magplus. Lesson learnt is that always target to finish work early so that IF there are any problems, there will be time to correct it. For example our exporting took us 4hours+.

Week 10 - Week 14
I managed to finalize my cover and content page. After having the issue of restarting indesign every time I want to review on the ipad. There was also the issue of network problem so I created a local wireless network and connect the ipad to my computer. We then used my ip address to connect the ipad as the modem was having problems. AND WE FOUND OUT THAT PRESENTATION IS CANCELLED WOOHOO!
