Production 4 "Feature Article Research 1/8/21"

     At this point, I have started to work on my feature article. For this, as has been mentioned in previous posts, I intend to write about dog behavioral problems, specifically, how to prevent dogs from escaping. The work I have completed as of now consists of primarily gathering my research for this problem, research that shows how dog behaviorists suggest fixing this issue, why dogs run away at all, and how to prevent them from running away in the first place. Some of the research appeared contradictory, so I had to spend time on figuring out what was true, and what wasn't. This task, while not completely easy, was not very difficult, as there did seem to be a general consensus on what was effective. I then started to write the actual article down, and although I did not get very far in, I do know how I intend to incorporate my research and interview into the feature article, as I have determined how I want to format the article.

When going over  the TED talk last week, the speaker talked about how when you think creatively, you can come up with unique solutions.

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...
