    When presenting my product I explained how I up set my cover page, content page, and feature article. I got some positive and negative feedback when I was done. Some things people enjoyed about my magazine was how I used a lot of beach pictures throughout the whole magazine. This helped keep the theme going throughout the magazine. They also liked how I set up my content page with the colors and the font of the text. But they also has some critics on my magazine.   One thing was that my feature article seemed too short. So I will be adding some more information to it. But I decided to not make it too long because, people have started to read shorter and shorter articles skimming through most text. I wanted to make my sure feature article was easy for anyone to read and not a big chunk of text that my audience will just skim through. Ever since technology, studies have shown that most people do not have the patients to even read long chunks of text. So I will my a...

  When creating my magazine I learned many new things. I learned how to use the software InDesign which was not as easy as I expected. I also learned how to create a magazine which I truly had a great time making. For this magazine I wanted it to be eye catching and very beautiful. So pictures and text colors were some of the hardest choices I made throughout the process. I wanted everyone who looks at my magazine to be taken away by the beautiful pictures. Our nation is going through a tough time right now and I believe some of us just need a picture to remind us of the beauty within this life. I hope my magazine gives everyone the same type of beauty it gives me.

  This week has been a very productive week for me with my magazine. I have created my feature article and added all the pictures so it looks perfect. I am now just looking over my whole magazine to see if I can improve anything. But currently I have finished up with my end product for my magazine.    During creating my magazine I found that I did change a few things. I believe these things that I changed have made the magazine a lot better than my first product idea. I did have a little bit of a hard time figuring out how to work InDesign. But I looked up videos on YouTube and figured it out. Overall I believe my end product came out to be very beautiful and elegant.   I am also very proud of myself for learning how to navigate the software. I also truly appreciated the opportunity to get familiar with InDesign and create my own magazine.  My partner Olivia has also just finished up with her magazine, and she also looking it over to see if she can fix anything....

  So far this week I have started adding the text and photos to InDesign to create my feature article. This was a little bit of a struggle at first trying to figure out the software. But I watched many videos that had a step by step process that helped me work with this software effectively.      I have started to mess around with the way things look and seeing what fits best for my magazine. I am still working on my feature article because I want to make sure it fits the rest of my magazine well. In the next couple days I plan to play around more with my feature article pages and see what I can come up with.   My partner Olivia is finishing up her cover page. She still is currently working on her content page. She plans to hopefully finish her feature article designing this week. 

    I have been working on my feature article this week. I am close to finished with it I am just adding a few more things to make sure I have all the information. I also have started using InDesign this week. It took me a while to figure out how to insert my images onto InDesign. I finally figured it out after I watched a couple YouTube videos. I am now able to start placing my text and pictures to start creating my magazine.       So far I have the cover page done, and the content page almost done. Next week I plan to add my feature article to my magazine with more pictures. I hope to finish my magazine by the end of next week.    My partner Olivia had finished her feature article this week. She is also working in InDesign on her cover page and she is close to being finished.

   This week I conducted my interviews with a couple travel enthusiasts. I have decided to now change the name of my feature article due to the information I received from my interviews. When I conducted the interviews the travelers gave me good information about safe places to travel during 2020 and the upcoming years due to Covid-19. So  I decided to change my feature article name to "Best Places to Travel During Covid-19". I believe this will fit my magazine and my interviews better. I was having a hard time with my original idea of " The best places to travel during 2020" because the end of 2020 is coming to an end and I don't want my magazine to be outdated.    So my new feature article is fresh and is not outdated since we are still going through tough times due to Covid-19. I am now getting excided to start using InDesign and put my magazine together. Next week I plan to create my feature article using the InDesign software.   My partner Olivia will ...

  After contacting many photographers I am still waiting for some responses. I seem do be having a little bit of trouble getting my interviews. But if none of the photographers respond I will contact some more. I also have my pictures planned out. I have decided which ones I think will fit my magazine well. When I was taking my photos I wanted to try some different angles to see which I think would look best as my cover page. I took some landscape, close ups, and low angle shots. After I looked at them and decided on the landscape shot because it showed the beautiful surroundings.  The travelers I have reached out to, I informed them that I have a few questions to ask for the interview. For the interview the questions, I plan to ask them  "what are the best places to travel during 2020?" and "why do they think this". I have received a couple messages but they didn't seem to have the information I was looking for.    A couple days later I have now messaged 30 dif...
