Final Submission

What I would have done to improve my magazine is changed the layout of the pages so that the text looks better and also added some shapes in the magazine to help catch the attention of the consumers more easily. I would have also changed the way the text is formatted because the text is to tiny and close together. I also would have changed to articles to take up the whole page instead of because i do not want a white border around the pages. I would also add pages numbers to indicate the pages in the magazines this article is on. I would have changed where the text is formatted because the text is inconveniently placed in the middle making it hard for the audience to read and makes it look very rushed. The reasons why I was not able to complete my revisions were because i could not meet my models that I interviewed to re shoot photos, I was also not able to access photoshop or indesign because I downloaded it on my PC and cannot turn it on because a circuit was destroyed and sparked causing the PC to not turn on and allow me to access it.

Creative Critical reflection #4

For my camera I chose to use and iPhone XR. The settings i used were 4k camera quality and I used the camera at a little below half brightness. I used this to help stop the glare from all the stadium lights and would then edit the photo in camera settings to make the photo look more vibrant. The graphic design websites i chose to use to were photoshop and illustrator. On photoshop i had an easier time editing the pictures and on illustrator i had a way easier time laying out all of the pictures and text. The functions i used were lasso to get rid of items i didn't want in the photos and also used shapes to help improve the overall look of the magazine.

Throughout this process my production skills have immensely improved. When I first began i was very unfamiliar with photoshop and had trouble with many of the simple function. Now i understand many of the functions and can change many things without having to spend lots of time on it. Another thing that has improved was my camera skills. When i first began i was taking photos without adjusting the photos brightness and they would which ended up creating a glare from the lights on the pitch. I then leaned that the brightness of a photo can be adjusted and edited to make the colors more vibrant. Another skill i developed was also time management. Towards the beginning i kept on brushing stuff off like there was going to be plenty of time. I then realized that the amount of time it takes to photoshop and arrange the magazines is very time consuming and took as many pictures as possible to help the chances of taking a good photo. The last skill i gained was gathering the actors. Towards the beginning i was just capturing photos of the players playing on the pitch but then realized that it would be better to take a photo of the players on the side so that readers can see the faces of the players up close.

Creative Critical reflection #2

The magazines I researched are soccer, high school sports, and also sports magazines. Some of the magazines I took inspiration from are world soccer and winter high school sports 19-20. The world soccer magazine is a very popular soccer magazine and its main focus is soccer. The layout of the magazine takes up two pages with text surrounding the picture. The articles are about previous games that have occurred and information about upcoming games and famous players. The other article i took inspiration from was high school sports 19-20. This is a high schools magazine and informs all students and staff about events and sports games that are occurring. The magazine also shows each roster for all the teams at their schools. I plan to distribute my magazine both digitally and physically. We will continue to make more magazines the more people begin to purchase them but if they do not purchase enough we will stop making physical copies. There will also be an online subscription of $1.99 an month to help pay for the physical copies.

In my magazine I used mid shots to show the entire team and also show the surroundings their surroundings to give it a more natural feeling. The font I chose to use was Dubai font. This font is very easy to read and grabs the attention of readers. On the table of contents i used an orange font to help fit the overall theme of the magazine and to blend in with the bordering lines. During my photo shoots i captures action photos and photos of the team all standing together. All of the players were in uniform and on the field playing during the game. For the interview picture I took pictures of the players after the game while they were in uniform and asked them question about how they feel about soccer and what they wish to do in the future with soccer. For the layout of my magazine I chose a layout that helps the readers attention go towards the middle of the magazine where all the text with pictures above and below to help compliment it. The social group represented in my magazine is people in high school and athletes. The magazine has special issues about different high schools and all of the different sports they have available at their schools.

3rd QUARTER SUBMISSION

Distribution Research Post WORLD SOCCER MAGAZINE

World Soccer Magazine is a sports magazine that primarily focuses on soccer. Each magazine includes a picture of a famous player on the cover. When people see a familiar face they are more likely to purchase the magazine rather than if they were not the best at what they do. The magazines can be purchased on their website online and can be purchased digitally or a physical copy. This is because they only want to make the amount of magazines to help them save money on their products so that they don't have to make extra and spend more money than needed. These magazines are not sold in store and are advertised by online websites and advertisements on the sides when browsing through different websites.

Distribution Research Post Sports Illustrated

Sports illustrated is a sports magazine that is published both digital and print. This allows anyone to access the news from anywhere. Sports Illustrated has began to lower the amount of printed articles they are distributing and are beginning to focus more on digital. They still continue to produce magazines. They gain the attention of consumers by allowing retail stores to sell their magazines and are usually located at checkout to purchase on your way out. The covers of the magazines are very vibrant and help catch the attention of consumers.

Distribution Research Post ESPN

ESPN is a sports magazine that is very popular. They traditionally published sports magazines and has various different sports in each magazine. ESPN is now moving more towards online published magazines because more people have access to it and it saves more money. It helps them save lots of money because they no longer have to worry about the separate costs of printing the magazines and also purchasing the materials.

Revision #3

OLD:

NEW:

In the new one i got rid of the light post going through the middle of the picture because it didn't make it look good. I also overlapped the title over the picture to help save space and make the title look cleaner. I added a picture of the team after they won districts to help make the page look less empty and moved the pictures on the interview lower on the page to stop paragraph separation.

REVISION #2

ORIGINAL:

REVISION:

In this revision i used a new font to make the text easier to read with the background. I also added some bordering lines to match my text and the overall theme of the magazine. The border also helps the player stand out and make the background more vibrant.

TRADITIONAL DISTRIBUTION

Most companies distribute their magazines printed. This can be delivered to your doorstep by the media company. The magazines can also be sold at local retail stores such as Walmart, Target, and Sams club. Magazines such as LOOK are sold by the register to capture the attention of customers wanting to purchase an item. They usually just pick it up as they are checking out and just add it to their groceries to read and catch the attention of the readers because they are bright and have gossip on the front page. Recently many media companies have been selling their magazines digitally so it is available to anyone. These are magazines such as ESPN, World Soccer, and Eight by Eight. ESPN gives all of the most recent news about sports and keeps watchers updated about their favorite sports teams.
