Revisions: Article Pages


Before

After
In order to improve the article pages, very few adjustments were made. For instance, the page numbers. Before, the page numbers were in the same bottom right corner, which would mean the pages are only on the right side of the magazine of it were opened. So on page 3, the number was placed in the left hand bottom corner in order to fix this issue. Also, before on page 4, there was a lot of white space that could have been utilized, but never was. Now, two columns of text for the article have been added instead of just one. Then photos were resized, allowing room for one more. This not only uses up white space, but give more content for the viewer to see on the page. Before the pages had also not been justified, so they were changed so that it would match the format of a normal magazine. Overall, that adjustments that were made make the magazine look more professional and organized, which is also more appealing for he readers.

Having previous experience with Adobe programs, such as Photoshop, helped make the process an easier task, but I had to learn some new techniques in order to fit the conventions of other sports magazines. For instance, learning to justify text and place them in a certain layout that fits that of a magazine. Or, learning to export certain at certain resolutions so that the magazine is of high quality. Another production skill that was improved was communication. Since this was a group project, communication was one of our biggest factors in creating our magazine. I had to learn to work with the group to take everyone's ideas and come up with an overall plan that would incorporate everything we had come up with. Also, learning to work as a journalist.
