WEEK 10

CRAFT: I was told at the critique that I needed to changed the text on the article because it was hard to read so I did. I aslo changed the picture that was in the circle because it didn't match up with the large photo on the first page. I didnt hav much text so my photos can do most of the talking.

Composition: The arrangement of the layout was simple and I wanted to draw attention to the photos instead of the text. So i had larger photos. The text is boring compared to the illustrations.

Concept: My overall concept was to have a large photo take up one page and a photo and text on the other page. So that the balance can lean more towards the photos.

WEEK 09

Craft: For this assignment we started to make a magazine using the program Adobe InDesign. We were suppose to make our first spread of our magazine. I decided to make a spread about my style that we created. I first choose one of my favorite illustrations from my collection and made that large to take up one page. then i choose my text box and inserted my text. then I put the title of my style on the top of the page. but the second page looked empty so i added another photo.


Composition: On this spread i wanted the photos to have all the attention so I tried to make the photos as large as possible. With the text not so interesting because the photos were more important to me.


Concept:I felt like this article was a starter to start off my magazine because it was gone be a repeating concept through out my magazine.

Special Addition Blog

Concept:

I was trying to place the two things women love the most, which in my opinion is shopping and shoes. So I placed them both in a photo. I put them in a cart to show make it look like a day of shoe shopping.

COMPOSITION:

I choose to put the gray boots in the main focus of the frame because I found them most interesting because of its texture and hue. So I put them next to mostly black shoes to show the contrast between them.

CRAFT:

This one is similar to last weeks but I went into more details. For example on the gray boots I wanted to make them more realistic so I made the shadows on the shoe instead of having a plain gray shoe. I use my pen tool to draw the basic shape of the shadows. Then I used the eye dropper tool to color all the shadows the same color. After that I used the effect of feather to blend the shoe in with the shadow so it wont awkward. More details that I used were on the plaid shoe instead of drawing every little plaid square. I placed a solid color down first to color the shoe. Then I used the line segment tool to just draw lines and cross them. I then made the basket with two different shades of blue using the eyedropper tool. them went in and made little black squares to make it look like the black shadows in between each gap.
