Creative Critical Reflection Draft #3

How did your production skills develop throughout this project?

Production skills include time management, effective use of the programs and communication. These skills have improved throughout the project. For example I have learned the time each task involved in creating this project takes and how to plan into my schedule. I also worked on the programs such as adobe Photoshop and adobe InDesign while in class where I had access to them. This meant that I had to finish my blogging at home if I ran out of time in school. As far as the programs are concerned, throughout the process I had to learn how to speedily and effectively execute what I wanted to complete. This meant that I had to do some research into how to create a certain feature in Photoshop. Finally I had to communicate with the rest of my team in order make sure that our magazines were cohesive. This was extremely prevalent, due to the multitude of revisions we made.

Interviews & Questions

While working on developing my interview questions I had to decide what I wanted to write about. Due to the time of year I decided I wanted to write about winter training. A series of intense workouts that aim to make everyone on the team faster on the water. Due to the fact that I am a rower it was hard to ask questions, because I already know the answers to most of them, but I managed to come up with some 1. By your definition what is winter training ? 2. Do you think it is a necessary part of training ? 3. If you had a choice would you choose to winter train? 4. What is your reasoning ? 5. What is the most important part of rowing? 6. What is something that most people don't know about rowing ? I conducted these interviews either before or after practice.

Mid Term Submission

Contrary to the original plan for the Cover Page I changed the color of the font to white to make sure that the Title and Feature Article tittles were visible. In addition in table of contents I used one large picture rather than several small ones. I had to do this in order to fit all of my article titles on the table of contents. When I was creating the template I didn't account for the large number of article titles.

Revision-Cover page

According to my last post the cover page needed to be revised. This includes changing the title from Sota Sports to Soflo Sports. This makes sure that the magazine can have a larger audience and a more realistic chance of being a successful business. In addition I added a border and worked on the cover in Photoshop in order to give it depth in the title and an overall more sporty look. Finally we changed the font of the feature article titles. In this way the magazine title would pop more. Final Cover Page Original Cover Page Cover Page Template
