Question 1 Question 2 Question 3 Question 4

 

 Before making modifications to my magazine, my cover photograph was very blurry and dark. I attended a track meet to take photographs and captured a straight on shot of a runner running. This image helps my title and other text on the cover page stand out. I also moved my feature article title along with the other article titles to the bottom of the cover page instead of having them on the side. Instead of having the magazines publish date right under the title we decided to have it split the title; having may on one side and 2020 on the other. This allowed us to be different from other magazines instead of just following someone else’s example. One more modification I made was to the text size and style; at first tit did not match Alexia’s cover page so I made the modifications on mine.

I also had to correct my font size and style. I used the editing features in my camera roll on my iPhone to edit the lighting on the photograph.  One thing we both had to correct was adding page numbers to each page of our magazine. After I made these modifications to my magazine; I felt very confident in my final work.

After Lexi and I presented our two magazines we began to receive feedback from the class. Everyone really liked how the colors, font, and theme flowed together really well. One said how they liked how we each took a different take on the magazines; different feature articles, different problems in the magazine that still all related to our overall story of sports. There are many things we need to fix in both of our magazines; for example, one made a comment towards my magazine asking if it was a cheer magazine as I didn’t realize how many cheer photos I used when I could replace them with the sports I didn’t get to add in. Ms. Gartland pointed out that we needed to be more consistent; we didn’t know how exact our magazines needed to be; with the font size, font ...
