Jose's Blog

Hey blog this will be my second to last blog post. I hope you enjoy my magazine I worked very hard and put a lot of time into it. The whole project is due today Saturday the 14th I will be submitting the magazine, CCR, and the blog posts. I am going to be discussing some of the elements of this project that I liked and disliked. I extremely disliked canva at the begging I thought it was a good platform, but the further I got into the project it just got slower and slower. The website was hard to use to edit and place text in the right places, and to place pictures in specific places you have to place a frame first and then drag the picture into the frame, sometimes this took several tries and sometimes it didn't even go in. If I could start over I would do this again with another platform to do the magazine. Also I wish I had taken my time doing this and while I was away on my break to Colorado, I wish I had worked on it. This is all I thought of this for right now. My next post wi

Today in class I began working on the CCR. It seems like it will take a lot of time to complete. I am planning on answering all the questions on a separate google docs, so when it comes time to do the voice note presentation I can have everything organized ready to answer. I will be able to quickly see and discuss the answers while the recording is going on. The video has to be 5-10 minutes so it will have to be lengthy and I will have to take my time in order to get to the time limit. I'll be working on this for the following days until the due date on Saturday.

Hey blog today I met up with my partners to see how much progress we have each made on our project and to see what we are each missing in our magazines. I explained to them the idea I had about my double page spread and they told me it was good. So right now I am pretty sure I know everything that I have to do. Tomorrow in class I will start writing up everything for the double page spread and will finalize placing all the pictures. The one thing I have to start doing is preparing for the CCR. This all has to be done in less than a week, so this week is going to be very productive when it comes to this class. Hopefully I get it all done on time. See you next blog!!!

Hey blog today I have decided that in the magazine I will have a featured location article, which right now I think that is what I am going to do my double page slide on. The featured location would be Zermatt, Switzerland. Now that I thought of this I think it is a great idea and it gives me a lot to write about since it is mainly known as a mountain resort renowned for skiing, climbing and hiking. I can talk about all of these things in the two page spread and theres a lot more to talk about. I'm super excited to see how this comes out. The only thing that is worrying me is the time I have left to finish the project which is only one more week. I'll see you in the next blog!

Today in class we had another discussion about our projects. I personally think my magazine is really good. The only thing that is holding me back from having a great magazine is not knowing what I am going to be writing inside of them. Two of the people in my discussion group are doing movies and they are wishing they did a magazine, so I am happy with my choice to do a magazine. Some of the other magazines I saw were basically at the same spot I am in. They all have a basic idea of what their title page is going to look like. They all have most of the pictures that they are going to use, just they haven't placed them on the other pages of the magazine. I have already set up where all my pictures are going to go according to where I am going to place the text. I still have a lot of work to do and plan for. See you in the next blog!😉

Hey blog I will be posting a short blog today because I have a lot going on today. Today I worked on the pictures for the magazine. I got the help of my mom who is experienced in using Photoshop to help my touch up and edit some of the pictures I am going to use. I learned to raise and lower the brightness and opacity of the picture also I adjusted the contrast. These are a few of the techniques I learned to use. See you in the next blog! 😋
