CCR

i finally had finished my table of contents!!!  It took a little while because of course practice makes perfect.  First I had to take my pictures that I wanted. Of course I had to take a few because they don;t always come out good the first time. But then my group decided we were going to do two pages of a table of contents so then I had to take more pictures now. But then I finally decided on the two that I liked.  The colors in the picture go with the happy feeling of the magazine. It is supposed to make you want to eat healthier and get in shape.

My group and I couldn't decide wether we wanted a colored picture for the front of a black and white one. So we asked for a couple of peoples decisions. But we got mixed answers. Some people said they liked the black and white but others said they liked the color. So now we were really undecided. I personally liked the color but one of the group members liked the black and white. And the third was more towards the color. But then finally she put hers onto the magazine and she liked the black and white better. So now we are doing the black and white with a grayish background.

Always room for new

There is always room for new stuff isn't there? Well I learned something new this week! I learned how to crop a person from a picture without the background. And guess what I didn't even have to use photoshop. And it is so easy too. All you need to do is use Microsoft word. It's just that simple. So I cropped my sister out from the background and placed her on to the magazine. And this is what I came up with. I am still playing around with the background color to see what looks the best. But it isn't just that simple because I have to make sure I am following the genre conventions of a fitness magazine.

So close, yet so far

I'm getting so much closer to the end but there is still a lot to do in this last week. I have started preparing for the CCR by starting to look over the questions and thinking about all my answers and what thing i am going to do for it. Right now I am leaning more towards the screenplay.  I still have a couple more pictures to take. Like the one for my table of contents. I also have to finish my two page story. But I cannot be more excited for my final project to be almost done!!!!

getting closer and closer

Wooo! My magazine is almost done. (kind of) Being that it is getting closer to the end I started working on the last portion of the project, the two page story.  I found a website called Flip Snack that gave me a bunch of different layouts I can use for my story. This website was actually really helpful in this process. These are two different layout that I might use for my story. Right now I am leaning more towards the first one because it is really simple and I really like it. But I might add a picture or two on the right side of the page. I like the second one too but I feel like the picture on the right side is a little too big.
