AICE Media Studies AS- Stewart, C

      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.   ...

      I started working on my feature article and I am very exited to finish the project. Overall, I think that it is going very well. The scientist that I interviewed seems to be exited to see the final product as well because she texted me and asked to see how it turns out.     I am kind of worried about getting everything done tonight because I have a lot of studying to do, but I plan to get a lot of the magazine done today in class since we have a block period. Because it is very new to me InDesign takes a lot more time to complete tasks on and finish a piece of text, compered to PowerPoint or Word.

      I think my magazine is going really well; however, I wish I was a little bit further along then I am right now. I have my title page and my contents page, so that leaves me with both pages of the feature article. I am going to have to work efficiently, but effectively to make sure to create a quality product that my audience will want to read.     I am going to finish the whole magazine tonight and I plan to do it with quality.

      My project is due on Friday, and it looks like I will have to crunch a little bit this week. I feel that I should've practiced and learn the magazine software a little more than I did. However, I feel like I will still be able to make a quality project before the due date. I plan to work on it a lot this week and do some finishing touches during my block period on Thursday.     I believe I am in a pretty good spot on my project because I have all of my pictures and the majority of my beefy information on my project. Basically, I just have to do the digital designing and put my magazine together!

      I finally got to do the interview for my feature article! It went better than expected because the scientist gave me a lot of detailed information on what her job is really like. I was a little nervous that she felt bothered by me interviewing her, but she seemed really exited to be interviewed. The scientist put a lot of thought into what she was saying to make sure that she could give the most detailed responses possible.     I am so glad I got this part out of the way so now I can focus on the design and layout out of my magazine. I personally think the project is going to turn out great because I am working really hard! However, it is a little stressful right now because it is basically midterm week and I have a lot of other school work along with my magazine. Overall, I am exited that I got my project into full swing and can't wait to see how the final product looks!

       I have all the supplies and materials I need to make a quality magazine. I finished all my questions for the interview, I have all the pictures I need, and the software is all set up and ready to go! However, I planned to interview the scientist on Monday, January 11th, but it had to be rescheduled because something popped up on her agenda.     I was pretty stressed out because I was ready to get the beef of the project out of the way. However, I'm going to use this experience as an example to show the abnormal day of a scientist. I will ask the scientist if things like that happen regularly and if the days are hectic. I will try not to bring anything negative because I do not want my audience to be chased away from the occupation for my feature article.     Overall, I feel like after I get all the information I need to fulfill my feature article my stress levels will go way down and I will be able to focus on formatting and style. Even tho...

      Over the winter break, I did a little work on my project to make a quality magazine. I mainly made sure all the materials on my feature article were good and ready to go. I had the lady I am interviewing take picture of all her labs and materials, and I cam up with some generic questions I am going to ask her. I personally think I made some quality questions that will really inform my audience.     This week I plan to interview the scientist for my feature article sometime this week. I also plan to finish the article by the end of the weekend so all I have left to do is the cover page and feature article. I am really exited to make this product and see how it turns out!
