CCR Question #4 Draft

CCR Question #4 4. How did you incorporate technology in the process? I started working on my magazine by making layouts for my pages and cover and when I did this I used a lot of different software. I started by using Adobe Publisher and writing my drafts on Microsoft word, I later shifted entirely over to Adobe InDesign. The reason for this switch was that Publisher didn't have all the settings I wanted and InDesign ended up being easier to navigate and produce a better outcome. I took my photos using my iPhone camera at its highest settings and it worked well for what I needed. And when I finally got them online to edit I used mainly Photoshop. I used Photoshop to reshape photos, add borders, fix colors, add text, and put together my whole cover. I was able to easily navigate Photoshop due to my past experience with it, I took a whole class on how to work and edit on Photoshop. I used my past knowledge and gathered new knowledge to edit my photos the way I wanted. I was a...

CCR Question #3 Draft

CCR Question #3 3.  How did your production skills develop throughout the process? At first it was sort of difficult and overwhelming. But as I started to plan things out the project seemed more organized and I was able to develop things the way I wanted.

So knowing what my goal was I went to a location that revolved around outdoors. Benderson Park was the location I really wanted to get some shots at for the magazine. But there were some complications with the model being able to meet up at the desired location. For a few of my photos I had the model use some of the outdoor equipment down the street near my house. It had good scenery, but it didn't have th...

Revision #1

COVER REVISION My original version of the cover felt bare and not very full or colorful. So I took my own advice and worked to make the cover more eye-catching and has a kind of pop. My main revisions were the font, text color, and adding more article titles to fill the magazine. With fonts, I tried to use ones that all matched in a way to create an aesthetic looking cover, no unprofessional fonts. With colors like blue, white, or black that fit the kind of muted colors of my background again for aesthetic purposes. There was also bolding of the main article titles and certain words for impact. Most of my smaller text is in italics as to not distract the reader and just as a small bit of information accompanying my article. I wanted to use all my space well as to make it look like a real magazine cover, where they use all the space they can. I think this is definitely an improvement from my original ideas for the cover, it could be revised again in the future. But, for now i'm s...
