Preliminary Layout

 For my preliminary layout, I have come up with ideas for my cover, feature article, and content page. 

For my cover, I intend to have the main image being an open door, as to represent what the feature article will be about. Though this may change, I will have the font as timberline, in size 115 for the title, with the names of the articles inside being viner hand ITC, at size 24. The masthead will be BadDog, though this is also subject to change, it is what I currently have in mind. The selling line for this will be “the greatest help for the worst behavior,” in order to refer to my general theme of dog behavioral issues. 

The feature article will be titled “Being the Warden: How to Prevent Your Dog from Escaping.” The content for this article will consist of information verified by dog behavioral experts on how to keep dogs from escaping and information on why they might be trying to do so. The ideas I currently have for the images on this page are an open door or gate, and a dog staring outside. These images are subject to change, however. On this page I will have headings and sub-headings bolded in the timerline font, with a more basic font, likely times new roman or something similar, being used for the article. 

For the content page, I am considering a basic title along the lines of “Contents,” in the font used for my cover title, with “find whatever article your paws desire” written underneath in a smaller size. The page will be in simple columns using the same viner hand ITC font, or whatever font I may replace it with on the cover page, with small images of dogs looking around scattered throughout it. The headings for the content page will be bolded with the titles of articles underneath it.

Creativity & Genre

                 The creative process is extremely important when embarking upon a new endeavor in a field ripe with choices . When going over  the TED talk last week, the speaker talked about how when you think creatively, you can come up with unique solutions. While at plac es such as work, people have a concrete idea of what to do and how to do, they are unable to think outside the box, and in a  competitive  market, that means you don’t stand out against a sea of other people .  When I worked on the New Introductions activity, I experienced the difficulty in coming up with new ways of going about something, even in something as simple as  an introduction.  The interview with Ron  Beghetto , an article written by Mi ch ael Shaughnessy in September 2020, was also useful in realizing the importance of creativity.  O ne example that  Beghetto  gave was teaching. With standardized testing,...

Post - Production 1 "More Photos and Colored Pages"

     At this point in my editing, I reviewed some of the more common comments I received from my  peers and  thought it best to get some of the more prominent issues fixed before I move on to the les s common feedback I received. The  most prominent issue I am aware of was my lack of photos, and while I am not entirely convinced I have enough yet, the images I have placed are certainly an improvement, and I feel that they make my magazine feel l ess empty. The other major piece of feedback I received was that I should add a color to my pages in order to make the background less unnecessarily bright   as it looked with a white background. To make up for this, I used a rectangular box the same size as the page and turned it to a light shade of blue. I then used the arrange feature t o send it to the very back of the layer. I feel that this, while not some huge and grand improvement, does make my magazine less straining on the eyes, and therefore improves...
