Revision: Article Page 2

I changed a lot in my second page of the article. For starters, I did my draft for the second page in Publisher because I did not have time to finish it in class, and I don't have Adobe at home. My font was far too large, so I made that smaller and I also justified my text. This was so that it looked more professional. A problem I ran into was the amount that I had to write for it. Since I made my font smaller, I had to include more and so I branched out and started discussing other basketball teams and players in the area who have had success this year. This is so I could appeal to people other than just students at Sarasota high, and so that someone from Booker High would be interested in buying the magazine. I also changed my pictures because the ones I had taken before were not professional. This new article includes two different students and I really like it because it represents Sarasota High, but when you read the article, it discusses other players as well from other schools. This somewhat challenges the usual conventions of a typical magazine because it encompasses the South Florida basketball organizations as a whole. Overall, I am very proud of my new article and of my new magazine overall.

In addition, we also added a watermark in the top corners of our articles because we wanted to make our magazine look more professional. We decided to somewhat mirror the popular sports articles such as Sports Illustrated, especially in our table of contents. We had pictures from three different articles we were going to feature in our article, and under those pictures, we had a small description of what the article was/what it was going to be about. We did this so that it looked aesthetically pleasing, as well as get people to want to read those articles...

Creative Critical Reflection Draft #4

How did you integrate technologies-- software, hardware and online-- in this project? I used many different pieces of technology for my product. For starters, I used Adobe In-Design and Adobe Photoshop for my pictures and to create my magazine overall. I was a beginner when I first started using those platforms; however, I am now skilled and I am confident in my abilities to use those software's. In addition, I also used my iPhone for the first set of pictures that I took, because I did not have a nicer camera than a 6s. After the first semester, I was disappointed in my product and I wanted knew pictures. I asked my teacher to borrow a very nice camera to take pictures at an upcoming boy's basketball game. He gave me a nice new Canon camera to use. I went to the game and took lots of pictures. The next day I took the memory card out, put it in the computer and began sifting through my pictures. I picked about ten pictures I thought would look good and that I believed were th...
