This is my final product of "Career Central." Please enjoy my magazine!

      It is almost time to turn in my final project and I have been working at home to edit my magazine. So far I have reformatted the contents page and Feature article, and changed the background as well.     I still have not decided If i am going to change the picture of my title page, or if I am just going to make the picture more dim to e able to see the text on the cover. I am really stuck in a pickle because I personally liked the photo I used for the cover; however, my peers seemed to not think the same.     I successfully mad the text on my contents page horizontal rather than vertical. This was a very good idea because it is way easier to see the titles of the articles and depict the information off the page. I also made the background a teal blue, which I think is a very nice touch and really makes the page pop.      For my feature article, instead of having the fish as the border of the page, I decided to make it the entire ba...

     As I stated in my last post, I have a lot of editing to do to my magazine. Overall, I think I have fallen behind on getting my magazine completely fixed by the due date. I will have to do a lot of work outside of class time to get everything done on time.     Based on what my peers suggested, I will have to replace my cover page photo, due to the confusion of the photo of my current cover page. This is because I used a photo that already had writing on it and my peers found it confusing to decipher the words in the picture and words on the title page.     I also have reformat my contents page. Right now I have the text on my cover page set up vertically, but I now realize that I need to change it to horizontal text. Doing this will make the format a lot more "smooth" and easy to read, and give the content page an overall better look to it.     I found out that my computer at home has the updated software for InDesign, so I am unable to w...

      I got a lot of feedback from my peer, and I have come to the conclusion that I need to make a lot of changes before I submit my project to Caimbridge. I guess a lot of things that I did on the magazine were concepts that I only understood, instead of the whole audience.     This upcoming week I plan revise and edit my magazine, then resubmit on to blogger to hopefully get a better reaction from my audience. Many of my peers said that I need to put more pictures throughout the magazine, especially in my feature article. Some of them also suggested I change the layout of my feature article, so I will be changing that as well.     The main page that needs the most changes is the contents page. This is because the layout was a little funky, and not attractive to the reader. Also, it seemed a little cramped because I had put a border on the page. I plan to take the picture in the border and make it the whole background of my contents page.   ...
