Post-Production: Editing

Reviewing my editing process, I believe the class feedback I received was helpful. For my first edit, I included a month and year in the bottom right corner of my cover page. Although a small detail, I believe it adds an element of sophistication, while giving me that true published magazine look. I reviewed my contents page and decided to keep the fun name, "Atlas for Adventure", as it brings diversity and a unique feature to my magazine. On my feature article, I decided to add a small segment on the cost of La Paz at the end, with a small graphic table with the costs for visitors. I added the table through In Design with the Table tool on the top Toolbar. I took the prices from La Paz website, and added them in the table with local, tourist, and included prices including the buffet lunch provided at La Paz. I saved it, and I think it looks very nice. It filled the space that I had left perfectly and provided more in-depth information for the reader in a visually pleasing way. I also added page numbers onto the feature article page and content page, as I had forgotten to.

Peer Review

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 will make sure all my content page article titles are the same, so that they are not uneven. I will help a friend add her phots into InDesign since I figured out how to keep quality high when entering into the program.

Magazine Cover Review

       Magazines have been around for years. Once read commonly, they now seem to fill the checkout lines, alongside candy and gum, hoping to catch the eye of the modern reader. The covers of magazines seem to be their last hope in getting chosen by young readers.      Covers of magazines have developed drastically, but still retained some of the redeeming qualities. Many of the magazines still have a "covergirl", a female (or male) celebrity who is the center of the cover and the appeal to the viewer. Cosmopolitan has followed this model for years. In the September edition, new actress Joey King strikes a flirty pose on the front, with big, bold text surrounding her. Her presence on the cover sells Cosmo's brand: they want to empower women and show them how to feel good about themselves, by aspiring to be like Joey King.      According to Michael Scherer, in his article based on magazines and their relevance today, the new generation o...
