      Katie and I have finished our magazines and I am pretty happy with the way it came out. I figured out how to get the background to transfer because I did have that problem when submitting the first draft. We fixed our fonts and any other problems. Overall, this was a fun and challenging project and we are excited to share this. 

 Katie and I sat together side by side this week and officially completed our magazine. One of the biggest comments we received from our peers is that our magazines did not match very well. So, we focused on making our layouts similar and more professional. I will be honest and say that our typography did not match at all. We each had very different fonts, so this week we went through and found some fonts that we each liked and fixed our magazine.  Katie had to make her feature article longer, so she went back and rewrote it. She also added another interview. Our layouts for our feature article were very different. Katie changed her layout to match more like mine and we made it all the same fonts. She added more pictures to her feature article and I think it looks a lot better. I feel like our magazines do look a lot better than what we had before. We took our recommendations and comments and tried to incorporate everything we could into our magazine. Now, We each are going to...

 After the peer reviews, we realized how many people told us that our magazines don't match very well and we need to change something. My partner, Katie, and I worked on editing the fonts because those were the parts that needed to be fixed the most. We found a font that works for both of our magazines and they are starting to look a little bit more similar. It was difficult to find a font that worked with both of ours though. We worked side by side and did our best to make these magazines look similar. However, Katie and I are still working on making our feature article layout similar. After we finished working together, I decided to work a little bit on lengthening my feature article. I also might add a couple more really good pictures in order to draw in the audiences attention and keep their attention. Working on this magazine has definitely been tough, but we are making these magazines come together. Once we fully complete both of our magazines and making the layout similar, t...

 This week I presented my magazine midterm project on InDesign to my whole class. For the most part, I think it went okay. There is definitely some things I need to work on though. My peers said that they would like my partner, Katie, and I to work on matching our magazines a little and to have more similar fonts and colors. It makes sense because we are partners and we need to make sure our magazines match in a way. Also, my classmates said they liked my cover picture and how the colors of all the fonts tied together. They also said they liked my pictures throughout my whole magazine. On the content page, one person said to fix my page numbers such as, don't put pg.10-12 just put pg.10. The group did like that Katie and I's content page was set up the same. One of my classmates, said to maybe make a teen magazine and a regular magazine, but we decided not to.. My peers did say my magazine looks like it would attract teenagers to young adults which is what I was going for. Most...

  The background color of all the pages was light blue, but when uploaded onto blogger, it took the background color away and will not change.  I turned my magazine midterm project in and I had some difficulties that cannot seem to be fixed. The background of all my magazine pages were a light, baby blue color. I asked multiple classmates, my partner and family members to try and figure it out, but nothing worked. I would prefer it had the light blue color as the background, but the white will work too. I am upset that it didn't work and didn't upload properly but I guess the white background will have to do. I tried saving it as a JPG and PNG, but neither of those worked and it still continued to delete the background color. I unchecked and checked different boxes to see if it would change anything and nothing changed.  My partner, Katie, has completed and submitted her magazine on blogger. She is making sure she has all her blog posts done for the midterm, then she will...
