Production 4- Department Stores & Content Page

    This weekend I was finally able to go and visit the stores I planned on going to. I got some great information I can use in my feature article from Sephora and Ulta Beauty. However, I didn't get any valuable information from Macy's. I'm still in contact with Bloom Organics and plan on having that interview sometime this week. I also went to some craft stores and found some of the materials I needed for my front cover picture. I found the flowers, leaves, and popsicle sticks. I still have to get some other things, but I plan to order those online today. I have done all my research for my feature article besides the interview. So, I will write it this week, so I have enough time to edit and correct as I feel necessary. I've created an Indesign folder for my magazine, and I've started to play around with my layout to try and mimic my storyboard. I'm done with my front cover besides the photo for the background, and I'm currently working on my table of contents. Everything is going very well. I feel slightly overwhelmed at the moment.

     I've completely finished my magazine. Right now, I'm looking over it one more time before my final submission. One last-minute change that I didn't mention before that differs from my storyboard is I added pictures of the brands and products I mentioned in my feature article instead of the monotonous designs I planned on having before. My feature article is quite long, but it sounds very researched and well prepared, which was the goal, of course. I last decided last minute that instead of a yellow background for a my feature article page I would use white because it took away from the images and there were no shades that matched the yellow I needed well enough. The program Indesign was actually pretty simple to use once I got the hang of it and helps you achieve that professional magazine look. I'm so happy with how it turned out. It looks way better than I expected, and I feel it looks pretty professional. The magazine process taught me a lot. Specifically, it...

To Team or Not to Team

      I have arrived at a decision about whether I want to work with a team for my AICE Media Studies portfolio. I participated in the "Social Media Peer Account" and the "Lost at Sea" activity in class, which are both activities that involve teamwork. After doing these activities, I realized that working alone may be the best decision for me. But before I tell you my final decision, I'd like to give you some background on why I've chosen this.       Last week in class, we did many activities  in class involving teamwork. The first activity we did was the "Social Media Peer Account". I analyzed  one of my  peer s  Instagram  page . The other social media she uses is Snapchat and Tik Tok. Right away, I started to look at  her  profile to see the type of vibe she gave off on her page.  All  her images are with many friends at different events like school dances and other  school  graduations. I think...
