AICE Media Studies AS- Tuck, R

This is my first draft of my magazine. I will be getting feedback from my peers soon and take those and evaluate them to make changes if I want.  

 week 10 Everything is now complete with my magazine. I believe I could improve it in some aspects like editing my pictures even more and adding more color to my pages to make them more interesting, but other than that I believe that my magazine looks good and it is easy to tell who my target audience is and what people are wanting to get from reading my magazine. 

 week 10 This week I finalized everything and finished importing all of my pictures into InDesign. I rearranged all of my typography and images to where I liked them. I was unable to edit some of my pictures in time for the due date, but I will be getting that done as soon as possible on my own time. I think the images could look a little more interesting and keep the readers attention. I also want to add more color and decorations on to my feature article pages because they look a little plain. 

 week 9  I am continuing to work on my magazine project and learning different techniques and skills in InDesign through the process. I have the front cover completed and have been inserting and changing texts. I still need to edit some of my photos before inserting them, but other than that I am moving along and making progress. 

 Week 9 I currently have all of my images, my feature article written, and my recipe written. This week I have been inserting my images and putting in my text ( choosing the correct fonts and sizes that look best). I still need to edit some of my photos in InDesign, then put them in the magazine, which I will be getting done soon. I am a little slower at using InDesign because I'm still pretty new to it but I have been playing around and finding what parts do what.  Pictures I need to edit: Beignet picture  Poy Boy picture Person eating beignet picture 

 Week 8 Today I got all of my pictures taken. Now I need to just narrow it down and pick, plus edit the final ones. Tomorrow I will be editing my pictures and picking the final ones. Update: I am struggling a little on figuring out how to edit and do things in In Design but I am going to keep working  on it and watch some vidoes on how to do things.  One of the images I took 

 Week 8 Yesterday evening I called two different restaurants that were New Orleans style bakery's. 1. Café Du Monde ( In New Orleans)  2. Verneles ( In Texas)  Before this day I emailed them asking for a date, but they never got back so I decided to call them. Café Du Monde said they didn't want  to answer the questions but the café Verneles gladly answered them. I then mixed the interview in with my feature article and am continuing writing that. I did the interview over email and sent the questions to her. 

 Week 8 Over break I sent out emails to different restaurant's and told them my idea for the interview ( how much time I would need from them and what my project is) and asked what time I could call their restaurant's to do an interview, but none of the restaurant's got back to me so this week I will just skip emailing and call them directly. Over break I was able to go to the park and take pictures of kids playing, but I still need to make and get pictures of my food pieces (beignets and Po boys). I will be taking these images this week as well. Plus I am going to start writing my feature article because I have already done a lot of research on beignets, but I will finalize it when I get my interviews. I haven't decide how I want to incorporate the interviews into my feature article yet, but I will be deciding that this week as well.   Image of kids playing (Still needs to be edited)
