 This is my final draft of my portfolio project. It's been a long road and I am excited to show and present my project to you. 

Post Production 2- Finishing Touches

      After getting some more reviews from my peers and suggestions to make my project the best it can be, I had to change some more things. I went into InDesign and started to move around some titles and words on my title page to make it look more organized and put together. For my content page, i added more article titles, as suggested by my classmates.  I then moved on to my feature article and decided to put one of the pictures behind the title of the article because it looks very crisp and professional. I kept the other photo, but i centered the alignment and used the autofit tool in InDesign to keep what it showed in the picture, but also to make it bigger and longer. In the second page of my feature article, I added more words to add more detail to my feature article as a finishing touch. I then talked with my partner and made sure our house styles were the same and there was obvious resemblance to our magazines and made sure we were a...

Post Production 1- Editing

      T he next step in the production process is editing my InDesign project. There  were  a  few things  I needed to fix , especially with my text  and some other areas that needed to be adjusted  to fit my peers and my feedback . To start, I changed my text to  the  Impact  font  to make it look  sportier  and give the readers that sort of feel as they see my pr oject. Another thing I changed was outlining all my text titles on  all  the pages and the Title page  in black  especially because in my peer review, they said  it was a little hard to see because the text was  white,  and the cover picture was a little bright.  So now the titles are still white but outlined in black.  Going along with the text, I made it  bigger because there was empty space that needed a little more filling.  I kept the red lettering for the subtitles and the title for the ...

Peer Review

      I was sick during the peer review days in  class,  so  to get review from my peers,   I had to ask around my c lass . Since I couldn’t get up in front of my class and get everyone’s opinion, I went around to people I knew that were done and had good magazines or movies to get their inpu t on mine.  Some positive reviews from my  classmates  were that they liked my color scheme, my pictures were nice and the shots were good, i got good feedback on my medium shots especially, and I had good spacing and organization.  They pointed out how my white text over the grey background color looked very clean and went with my theme and the colors created a very nice color scheme. They also liked how I put my pictures in  different places and had nice alignment. On the other hand, there was also some things I need to fix.       Such as, on my content page I need to change my text or my picture to make the...

This is my first draft of my Portfolio Project. I proudly present my first draft of Lady High School Sports.   

Production 7- Finishing Up

      Now it is Monday and I have to finish my magazine. The software is very hard to use and the littlest tasks take so much time. Without help I had to watch YouTube videos to try and figure everything out and did the best I possibly could. I had to finish putting in my photos and adjusting all the words to go around it. One of the hardest things was getting the pictures to where I wanted them to be without moving the text all around. This project was a lot harder than I expected and I had to try and get everything I needed to get done and finished within our 100 minute class period. I need to turn it in but Friday but did not have time in class today. This project was very long and tedious but I hope I can get a good grade for all my hard work and effort I put in.
