Blog # 4.16 - Area of Interaction

The choices that I have made that will appeal to the audience is the celebrities, their clothing, and the colors and style of the font. Since my target audience is women, having celebrities in the cover will appeal to them because women tend to be interested in celebrities. The clothing of the celebrities is appealing as well because their dresses are gold and the fonts are white,black,red, and yellow. Besides that, the font styles and color are appealing as well because it blends in with the background color and the celebrities that are on the cover. A choice that I could of made to make the magazine cover more appealing is placing the articles somewhere else. I could of possibly put each article next to one of the three celebrities. For the most part, I am satisfied with the result of my magazine cover, even though there is areas that can be improved.

I made a few changes to my final design that I did not have in my initial design. One change I made was the placement of the main teaser. I decided the put the main teaser in the spot because it looks more appealing, even though some of the words are overlapping with the women. Besides that, another change that I made, was the placement of the other articles. I wanted them to look as organized as possible, so I separated the articles, while in my initial design the articles were much closer. Overall, my initial design is very similar to my final design, I made only a few changes to the final design

During class I was not able to complete a lot of things, as far as the magazine cover in concerned. I was having trouble extracting my 1st photo. I did not have 2 full class periods to work on my magazine cover. For at least 75% of the first period I was completing Blog 4.7B. When I was done, I started working on my magazine cover. I was extracting one of my photos for the majority of the 2nd period. I wanted the photo to be as perfect as possible, but I was constantly making mistakes. The period was done and I only had a few things completed. Over the weekend I downloaded Adobe Photoshop and started extracting my photos. I redid the extraction for the photo I did in class because I did not like the result of it. For next class, I need to create a background, paste the extractions, and add all the teasers and titles. Since the extractions are completed, next class will go more smoothly.

The design that I decided to develop is my third sketch. It is supposed to be a sketch of a Special Edition of the Magazine, Hispanic Culture. I choose that particular design because I find it more appealing. In the cover there will be celebrities. People tend to be more interested in a magazine when celebrities are on the cover. Usually the "Hispanic Culture" Magazine features a lot of different things that have to do with the Hispanic Culture, such as Traditional Foods and Dances. But since this is a Special Edition of the magazine, it is focusing on influential celebrities.
