Production 4- Completed Interview, Cover Art, and Article

 Yesterday I was able to finish editing the cover art of my magazine in photoshop. I was running into a few mechanical difficulties that I was able to figure out eventually through the use of video tutorials. The cover was converted and imported into InDesign and a few more edits were made after that to complete it. The content page also needed a few edits with the pictures and the coloring that were resolved relatively easy. The interview with the Braden River varsity high school football player went great. The athlete had plenty of time to answer a range of questions that would assist me in writing my feature article. I was able to talk all about the experiences of being a student-athlete and get a personal viewpoint on all of my statements. All that is left to do is to format the written article into InDesign and make finishing touches to the magazine prior to submission.

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.
