Production 1- Scheduling Interviews and Shooting Locations

 Today I was able to get in contact with a varsity football player from Braden River High School that is willing to do an interview in the next week or two. There isn't a specific date yet, but he told me that he would be available during the weekends in the next two weeks. I also came up with a tentative date for my photo shoot where I have one of the three athletes confirming that he will do it. I also have two locations picked out at either Arlington park or the fields in Lakewood ranch for my shoot. They both provide a great backdrop for my medium shots of the athletes. Both of these have fields and they are relatively open. I still need to contact the other two athletes, however since they are friends, they should be able to attend the photoshoot during break. I am also working towards contacting several coaches from high schools and some colleges through either the phone or email. They would provide good background information for some of my article.

I got a mixed feedback, some saying that the idea was very unique, and it made the athletes stand out making them significant; while others said they had a little difficulty in reading the word “Introspect” because one of the athletes was covering the end of the word. My colleagues also mentioned that I had room to adjust the title. I’m most likely going to adjust the title so people can read the title more clearly, but also keep the same effect of the athletes appearing in front of the text. I also got some feedback on my selling line “You matter.” My peers brought to my attention the placement of the selling line doesn’t correspond to the forma...

Post Production 2- Defining My Product

 I didn't make any significant changes in my magazine because I felt that this truly was the final product. I believe that my magazine carries out its intended purpose of shining light on the locality of athletes in school. I also believe that the magazine will gain traction towards the intended audience of high schoolers. The product itself has been reviewed and edited to my best ability several times.

Post Production 1- Altering Color Coordination and Style

 To edit my magazine, I had a real inconsistency with the layout of my colors from the cover page to the feature article. I maintained a consistent style by changing my color pallet to only two colors instead of a broad variation. I also added a introduction and conclusion to my article that would match the style and add some meaning/organization to my product. This process wasn't too difficult considering I had a layout of all the content I wanted to address.
