Creative Critical Reflections Questions 1-4  

 This media project and magazine took a while to create, and I poured so much time into creating. This health magazine is meant for a very broad audience, one in which partakes in trying to be healthy, and those who want to become healthy. As simple as it sounds, it feels different from the stereotypical health magazine, only focused on the steps of creating more health after being healthy. Instead we want to provide the best way to get there and start that foundation, through Health-Ful. final draft

 I am still going through the stages with my rough and choppy looking pictures, but it has become much easier to edit. I moved my Magazine in order to make sure that the writing was distributed evenly. I also worked with my partner to ensure that the overall project had as many similarities as we had. The post production side of things has been the toughest, mostly due to us having make sure everything is perfect for submission. getting this work in has been especially challenging with all the software issues, but the setbacks are only minor in the long run for a better looking end of production post.

I will have to unlock the text box and make them transparent. With this, I will also need to re-upload pictures into the software to ensure that my method of importing is not ruined again, and coming out with higher quality work. 2) I will need to even out my spacing. With my feature article I will need to even my text boxes out so it doesn't look funky. I need to properly line them up and create more space for my pictures to push over, as though I have a solid aesthetic, this will help the magazine look much more refined, and helps the text and photo lining look more even.  3) I will undoubtedly need to work with my partner and make sure that our projects are completely even.
