  For my preliminary layout, I have come up with ideas for my cover, fea ture  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 w hat 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 o...

(Be thorough & specific. Review the links on Blackboard) My concept is a special interest magazine that revolves around dogs. Specifically, my magazine will be about dog behavior problems and how to solve them in a calm and logical manner. While many magazines based around dogs have countless bright and gigantic photos taking up the whole page while using a conversational tone, my magazine will have far fewer photos, though it will still contain some relevant ones. and a focus on inf...

                 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,...

  For this year’s portfolio project, I had already decided to work on my magazine cover and article alone, and when I read all the articles presented to me and worked on all the activities assigned to me, my decision was reaffirmed. The Social Media Peer Account activity supports my decision, as it showed me what a peer of mine values, that being attention and emotion. I too value these, but I believe that a desire for attention is a destructive trait, and when I come across those who value it, there tends to be some competition between us regarding who gets control of a project. In Eli Becker’s article, “Team building and group dynamics: creating and fostering a culture of teamwork requires trust, collaboration, and accountability,” Becker goes over the importance of team members being able to cooperate with each other, but my peer expresses emotion much more than I am willing to, which I find causes conflict when I act harshly, or requires me to behave in a manner contradictory...

              My initial impression of Premier Pro is not a very pleasant one. While I did find the application to be interesting, I had a difficulty understanding the application, and as a result, I do not feel this would allow me to help me deliver my “story.” While using the application, I did notice some features that could prove quite useful to me, such as transition effects, but I have a difficulty understanding how to use these to construct my narrative, as Wayne Cherry talks about in his article, "Our Place in the Universe: The Importance of Story and Storytelling in the Classroom". If I took the time to learn how to use the application properly, I would certainly find many tools to assist me in my “storytelling,” but I am more familiar with InDesign, and as such, the time required to effectively learn how to use it is far less. I also find that tutorials regarding InDesign are much easier for me to comprehend than thos...
