AICE Media Studies AS- Goodman, T

 The last thing I did when editing my magazine was fix my feature article. My feature article was far too short to be about such an important thing in a magazine. As a group, we came up with a way to create a  more organized and effective way to display our feature articles for our magazines using InDesign. Editing this will create a way where I am able to fit more content and images that are related to my issue, like more pictures of my athlete in action using the gradient feather tool. I think the way that we did this was a very good thing for our magazine because it makes it look more like a sports magazine and it looks more creative and organized. 

 After presenting and getting feedback on our magazine we decided to change some things up to make it perfect. All of our edits to our magazine took place in InDesign where we had the tools to make changes possible. We all changed the background color so that it was all blue, made sure the fonts were the same and the same color. We decided on the font Engravers MT and changed them all to a dark blue. We changed the text bubbles on the cover page to the shape of something in our sport. For example, Aidan used the ellipse tool to create circles for golf balls, I did circles for basketballs and Collin used the pencil tool to draw a ballet shoe for dance. We did the same layout for the cover page, content page and feature articles but rearranged them so that they all look similar. We took better pictures for our magazine to make them look even better. For example, we went to a field and re-did Collins dance shots but mine and Aidan's were already good for our issues. After we made all ...

 This week we presented our magazine. We got a bunch of positive and negative feedback from the class. Our magazines were different colors which wasn't on purpose but some of the people in the class said that they liked the two different colors because it made our specific issues different. I had a big "17" on my front cover that represented my athletes number but it was bigger than the rest of the text, so some feedback I received was to make my title and selling line the biggest text on the front cover. Also, my articles on the front cover were in white text and one person said that was difficult to see so I will change those words to black or a darker color to make it more easy to the eye. On my content page, my peers said that maybe if I made a picture as the full background than it would look more appealing than just a picture in the corner. On my feature article, if I made it longer than I think it would fit the criteria more. I think some of my group knew what was ...
