Creative Critical Reflection

Final Project

YAY!

Im so close to finishing! I finished writing my article, already finished the table of contents and the cover page! I just need to add some pictures in the and then I'm done! I already finished writing my critical reflection so I feel great. There are some changes that I'm probably going to make in my 2 page spread. I don't know if I should use a picture for one page and then write the article in the other page or to start it in the bottom of the 1st page. I've seen some magazines that have both. I'll ask my peers tomorrow how it looks better. I'm going to probably finish my project tomorrow during my class period so I can have a nice and calm weekend! I'm going to miss working on this project. I really enjoyed working on it!

So, for my creative critical reflection I'm going to talk about how I just used Photoshop since that's the only software I know how to use to manage pictures. I used a Canon t3 to take all the pictures of the dogs since I like the quality of the pictures when they're taken with it. My project will engage audiences that have dogs by putting articles that will help them and their dogs to have a better life together. Like giving them life hacks, DIY foods, places like parks that they could visit. I would like to have this magazine in places like Barnes and Nobles since they have their own area for this type of prints. My production skills developed so much! I read the school newspaper to see how to write an article, then I read a magazine the my mom had at home to see how to write in a concise but informative way. I also learned so much about photoshop! I already knew the basics but now I had to use filters and other tools to make my pictures better. 

I still need to see what else i need to say and word it in a way that makes sense, but it's good by now!

Almost Done!

The interview was amazing! I got all the information I needed. I got where they adopted Charlotte, when, why and how her past affects her right now. I also got all the pictures I need. In the cover page she wasn't groomed so she looks fluffy! But in the rest of the pictures she got groomed so she's almost bald (heheh). Also, I went to my friends Prom proposal and it was awesome! I got so many cute pictures of the dogs that will look awesome in my magazine. 

This is the picture for my table of contents! His name is Grumpy and he's a Yorkshire Terrier! It's mixed with another breed but my friend had no idea of what it is. He's bigger than a normal Yorkshire Terrier but still it's adorable. On the left I'm going to put all the pages of every article and a little summary. It looks very neat and I love it! I can't wait to turn in my project so I can show it to everyone! 

     Today I'm going to interview the girl for my 2 page layout! She's going to be able to provide me pictures of her with her dog when they were younger so it can show since when they've been together. And on Saturday my friend is going to "prompose" or ask her to go to prom with him. This is going to happen at my house so she will have no idea of what's going to happen and it's not going to be obvious that she's going to get promposed. The promposal involves dogs so I'm going to take the opportunity and take pictures of the dogs for my cover image and table of contents. There are going to be 5 dogs and each will have a letter in their collar that will say "PROM?". As we can see she really likes dogs and I'm so excited to take the pictures!(And I'm excited for the promposal too.)

In the feature Im doing I'm going to try to involve the dog's owner but without making it clear that the story is just about the dog, not the dog and the owner. I want it to be the story of the dog(Charlotte) and how she moved on from her abusive past but still some things affect her in the present.
