Feedback I received was to include a cost information session, which I hadn't thought about. I think this could be a beneficial element so visitors could see that it isn't that pricey and they can decide to visit. I also could add a note I visited on the portfolio, like and editor's note about it. I think i could incorporate the cost through a table, by setting it up so that cost and travel info are in one table for the reader to see and compare costs. I will put a table or another image of the gardens there, maybe in a horizontal format so that it adds some contrast. I got a lot of good feedback. Everyone was pleased with my photos, and asked how they were so high quality. I have an easy to read article and content page, which are both visually appealing.

I am  very  happy with these changes  as I feel it adds to my visual appeal in both headings, but also in the smaller article text. It is visible enough to read. For my photo captions, I added a small triangle icon that points to the photo I am referencing, and I italici zed the caption too. I think this offset my p...

 For my article, I decided to conduct 2 interviews: one with the tour guide on my trip, Jose Cerdero, and another with a friend who went on the mission trip with me, and who hikes and exercises in her free time. As Jose lives in Costa Rica, my communication with him was limited, since he did not want to pay for long-distance phone minutes. I did interview him by emailing him a few questions, which I will record down below with his responses: 1. What is La Paz's mission? La Paz hopes to protect the natural environment and the natural life of Costa Rica so that people can learn, be entertained, and enjoy their experience at La Paz. We hope to maximize learning impacts on visitors through showing them the animals and inspiring them to take action to help protect them. 2. How does La Paz differ from other tourist locations in Costa Rica? La Paz does not breed or pay for their animals, rather, all were donated from previous owners. The Big Cats actually came from a government organizati...
