Production 2- Rescheduling, Props and Adobe Practice

 The scheduled interview with the varsity football player, Jordan Carter, got postponed considering the interview was near the holidays and some family came up on his end. The interview has been rescheduled for next week either on Wednesday or Friday. I also need to clarify a portion of my interview questions revolving around home situations. The photoshoot was also rescheduled at a later date because one of the main three athletes couldn't make it. Right now I'm working towards finding a date that all the participants could reasonably attend to without any interfering complications. While I'm working towards those goals, I am getting familiar with the Adobe programs like Photoshop and InDesign by following tutorials online for some of the concepts that I want to implement into my magazine and some of the photos. The programs where difficult to understand when starting, but I am naturally learning things within the program that I am picking up the more tutorials I follow. One feature that I've implemented was the blur tool in Photoshop which blurs around the focused objects. I am also working toward structuring my feature article using some of the questions that I'm going to get from my interview.

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.
