Peer Pitch & Concept Refinement Chart

    After presenting our pitch it was clear we did not understand what we were being asked to do. At that time, it was time for us to break it down and start back over. We based our pitch off of one specific feature article instead of basing it mainly about our magazine as a whole. One specific example of feedback we received from our class with to restart; our class advised that we started from the bottom again and got more organized. After looking back on what we present I believe one of our issues was not completely understand what a pitch actually was. A pitch means; “a line of talk that attempts to persuade someone or something, with a planned sales presentation strategy of a product or service designed to initiate and close a sale of the product or service”, Wikipedia.

    This impacted our view of our concept a lot being that we had to start from the bottom again. Our concept of the article is to help those in high school find their next step when it comes to athletics, however right now we are currently going through a global pandemic which is effect everyone’s next step in to their future. The future article in my magazine is The Battling of Sports During a Global Pandemic; this article will relate back to the main concept of our magazine because it will show the realistic of what it’s like following your dreams through such a horrible and hard time. After reconstruction we came up with a better pitch that made everything clear and allowed others to also understand what we were trying to do.

Production 2- Schedule Photo Shoots

        After planning out where I am taking the photos for my magazine cover as well as who I am using for the photos; I have begun to reach out and find a day that allows everyone to be there for the cover photograph. I have picked days that I know other sports are having practices that will allow me to come in and capture pictures to use throughout my feature article. Next week I will be going to baseball workouts, the soccer game, and the basketball game. As this is not every sport; it is just enough to show the effect of the pandemic on these sports and how they participate in the sporting activity while still being cautious of the safety of others. On January 21 st I will be meeting one person from each sport, with their uniforms and mask on as well as the assistant principals at the front of the steps of school to capture my photo for my cover page.

Post Production 1- Content Page

 After comparing Alexia’s magazine to my magazine there were still a few things I had to change to have the same similar features as hers. Our content pages were completely opposite so I decided to change mine and go with her layout. I went out to one of the baseball games to capture a photograph for my content page. 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.

Peer Review

          This week we spent time having everyone present their projects so everyone could give feedback; whether it was something they liked in the project or something that needed to be corrected. 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 ...
