Final Submission

-
I kept my cover the way it was after my third quarter submission because I felt satisfied with its appearance.
I made some small yet effective edits to my table of contents page. The main criticism my peers gave me was that the text on the left was not in an even row; instead, the words would climb over the top of the photos and make the page look disorganized. I fixed this by making sure none of the text overlapped the images and instead stayed inside a single column. The second change I made was to the images themselves. I adjusted their position a bit to fit the page better, and I also made the bottom image larger to match the top image. Additionally, I added a dark blue border to each of the photos to make them stand out. This especially helped the bottom picture, since its light color got lost in the light background.

In my two-page article, I justified the text so it would fill the entire page. I also divided it into two even columns; in my third quarter submission they were in pillars, but they were uneven because I did not use the tool in Microsoft Publisher specialized to create columns. After this, I created a 0.119'' space in between them so the words would not appear clustered together. I also adjusted the images slightly to make them fit neatly around the newly justified text. Lastly, I moved the page number to the bottom right corner rather than the bottom left corner on the last page of my article. This is because, in conventional magazines, the page numbers are always in the corner farthest away from the spine of the magazine.

Revision- Cover Page

-
Image
     Revising my cover page was a bit difficult because my peers gave me many conflicting opinions. Some people loved the way my cover looked while others believed that the design should be changed. My feedback was a bit broad, so it was difficult to figure out how exactly to change my cover; however, I did get one helpfully specific critique: add an outline to the star that contains the words "EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH PHOTOGRAPHER".      The photo shown to the left displays the border I added to the star shape. I used the color Accent 2, Lighter 40% to match the blue theme of my cover. I tried different colors and shades, but anything lighter than this was barely visible and anything darker contrasted with the text too much. While the edit is small, it polishes the cover page and makes it look more aesthetically appealing.

CCR 3

-
     At the beginning of this project, I had never used Microsoft Publisher before. I was completely new to this program, so I had to ask my peers and teacher how to perform specific actions. I was used to some features, such as how to add text boxes, from using it on other applications such as Microsoft PowerPoint. I still had to learn how to change the background color as well as add gradients, page borders, and more. Learning how to format my content was a challenge too: my text was cut off by pictures and I could not figure out how to fit everything in an appealing way onto the page. After much trial and error, though, I figured out how to fit everything in a satisfactory way.      The other program I used was Adobe Photoshop CC 2015. While I am no expert at this and there are still many features I do not know how to use, I already had some experience in this application and I knew how to edit my photos due to digital photography classes I have taken....

Dog Table of Contents- Location Scouting

-
Image
I chose this location - my house - because it was very sensible to do so. Because of this location choice, I did not need to schedule anything; all I had to do was come home and photograph my dog. Due to this convenience, I got many pictures of my "model" in a few diverse poses. This allowed me to have a wide variety of options to choose from when I was selecting the final photo, which is shown above. I took some pictures inside my house and some in my backyard, but ultimately chose to use one of the images from indoors.
