This is my final submission. I have made the final touches to my magazine like I fixed the white strip at the bottom of the cover page. I also put my text into columns and made my pictures to cover more space on the 2nd page of my article.

My partner and  I presented our magazine to the class and received feedback on how we can improve our magazine. One thing that could be fixed was the subtitle font that my partner used was different from my magazine. The fonts need to be the same because we are the same magazine just different issues and all other magazines have the same fonts in there issues. Another problem was my table of contents was just called the table of contents and they said I could use a more creative title. The title page of my magazine had a small white line across the bottom where the picture wasn't cropped to fit the page. I need the cover the small white stripe then the cover will be done . Also on the second page of my article I need to cover more white space. I'm going to try to make the two pictures that I have bigger so that the cover more space and it will be more professional. The picture below is of the second page of my article that I need to cover more white space.

In my magazine fishing Sarasota i made some changes from my first draft. The first thing that I change was the picture on the cover, it was out of proportion and I fixed it and now it looks more professional. Then for the other 3 pages I originally had them with a light blue background but I turned it white to save money in the production process. On the table of contents I made the pictures larger so there wasn't as much blank spaces. On the first page of the article I made the pictures larger to fill in more blank spaces in my magazine. The on the final page I did another photo shoot to get more of a diversity of pictures and to fill in more blank space in my magazine.

Technology was a very important in creating my magazine called Fishing Sarasota. In the production of my magazine technology was used from the very beginning to the end. In the beginning of my project I did lots of research online about the production of a magazine versus the production of a film opening and I research popular magazines to get an idea of what I should produce. Then I began the magazine production processes and used some software like Microsoft excel and publisher. I used excel to create a spread sheet for my flat plan. Then after I got a outline for my magazine I began to produce it using publisher. When I started using publisher I could only do limited edits to my magazine. Then I did research in how to edit using publisher and now I can edit a magazine a lot better than I used to.Then after I Finally finished editing my magazine I began to research online into how to distribute my magazine. In my research I found that social media sites and website were a good way to...

When I began this project and came up with the idea for a magazine I knew very little about the magazine production process. Know After I have created mt own magazine and done lots of research I now know a lot more about the magazine production process. I used Microsoft publisher to produce my magazine and I knew vary little about how to use it. I learned how to make tittles for your magazine and find a font and size that catches the readers attention but isn't to distracting from the whole magazine. I also learned how to maximize the amount of content that I can fit on a page with out being overwhelming. There is a lot of time and thought that has to go into when taking picture for your magazine. If it is a picture that it is outside you have to wait for the conditions to be right. There also needs to be a diversity of pictures in your magazine. The pictures then have to be fit perfectly into your magazine and not be disproportionate or cover up text. Then there needs to be the ac...

The Magazine that my group produced is called Fishing Sarasota. The audience of our magazine is going to mainly be people who are living in the Sarasota Florida area or planing on visiting. Our magazine is very engaging with our audience because since we focus on a small area we can write about fishing reports from specific areas that lots of people in Sarasota fish and will read the article. We also have articles from local charter boat captains that helps our audience or people who are planing to visit that are not experienced with fishing to find a charter to take them fishing. we also include a tide table in the back of the magazine that is essential for anyone that fishes in saltwater. Our magazine is only going to be published four times a year so we want to make sure that it gets distributed widely across Sarasota. I am going to first go to all the tackle shops in Sarasota and see if they will  be a dealer for the magazine because most of the target audience will shop at the...
