CCR

I finished my CCR! I'm all done and ready to go! I really enjoyed recording my CCR because I was able to explain many of my decisions in my magazine. This video took me half a day because my computer stopped working and I had to download other programs but then those didn't work so I had to get this program. It's finally done though, so here it is, my blood, sweat, and tears. I hope You like it.

Magazine

I'm finally done! Here is my finished magazine. I really enjoyed the process, even through the ups and downs of creating a magazine. I was able to use my old skills combined with new technologies to create a new product for this project. I used JPG to PDF to create my PDF and Joomag to turn that PDF into a digital magazine. It was very stressful, but I'm happy with the result.

Finished Content Page

I finished my content page!! The only thing I might change now is the name of my article. Tomorrow in class I'm going to finish up my cover page and write my script for my creative critical reflection. I've already downloaded the program to record the screen for my reflection so I'll film that as soon as I'm done. Tomorrow I'm also going to find out what program I can use to make my magazine appear in actual magazine format online.

Fonts and Too Many Layers

I've been working on both my cover and content pages this past week and all I need to add to my cover page are the cover lines that I will use. I had a font for the mast head that I really liked but it was only free for personal use so I found this other font in photoshop that I'm happy with. It wasn't my first pick, but I think that it ties in with my overall idea well. My content page is a mess at the moment because I'm moving the article names around everywhere. The photoshop file has so many layers that I'm completely lost so I think I just have to erase the layers I have and redo it with organization in mind. I already have all the article names and pages so it's just rearranging everything that I have to worry about.

Shooting Day 2

Today I shot some of my pictures for my new idea. I got one of my ideas shot today when I went to a museum with my friend Nadia. I think that it could be used as the cover image but I'm not sure I really like it all that much. I got other pictures of her today so I have to see what I have and what I can do with the images I have. I wanted to go with an artistic representation of social media with a girl being confined to a box and beginning to break free from the bonds of society. I really wanted to use a square to represent her social media so I didn't make this piece look like a cheesy social commentary that is never taken seriously. Tomorrow I'm going to shoot my other pictures that I can use for my article and look at some of my old pictures to see if I can find anything that shows the message of my article.
