Peer Review

-

 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 expected, we just have to make the details more similar so that it looks more like a group magazine, like font and word choice and color. We have a little ways to go before we submit it to Cambridge but I think we are on the right track.

Production 3- Interviewing

 I have met up with my friend who plays basketball and asked them some questions that I can include in my feature article. I asked them questions about playing basketball as a women and if there have been any unusual struggles. My friend Kenzie plays basketball and over break I met up with her to take some pictures of her in action. I asked her questions including "What is it like being a young female athlete?" and "What has been a motivation factor in your journey as an athlete?" I recorded her answers and I am going to include them in my feature article. Kenzie put on her basketball uniform so I could take some pictures of what she does. I took some action pictures and some still pictures to showcase throughout my magazine, including some simple pictures of the basketball and hoop so I can make my magazine very fun and interesting. I learned through this experience how to work professionally with someone and how I can use a camera and be creative by taking action ...

Post-Production 1- Rearranging

 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 ...
