8. Magazine pages

 Junior Section General look

I chose Archery UK which has many different sections in it. This is a quarterly magazine and has a lot of content. Because there is a lot of content, the magazine has been divided into different sections.  The sections use different colour coding on every page to make it easier to for the reader to find a certain page he/she is looking for. The primary headlines are generally in a variety of bold, san serif fonts, with secondary headlines also in san serif. The general texts of the articles are in a san serif but is in a much smaller size. The colour scheme of the articles has been chosen to draw the reader in, including the headings. The magazine designer has also added colour and a different size capital letter for the beginning of every article throughout, again get the attention of the reader and to indicate the begging of an article. The junior section uses a much more varied colour scheme, interesting design and font to make it look more fun and appealing to younger person(s).

Leading is adjusting the space between lines of text.

The top paragraph shows 21 pt size with 25 pt leading. the bottom paragraph shows also 21 pt size, but with 45 pt leading.

6. Kerning and Tracking

Tracking is literally when you make overall space between letters in a word(s). Whereas kerning is when you adjust the space between specific letters.

We talked about SMART targets and what they are.

 

S stands for Specific
M stands for Measurable
A stands for Achievable
R stands for Realistic
T stands for Time

 

• I also created my own target; I will not play on my phone during lessons for the duration of the term.

• As a class we talked through the college Code of Conduct.

• And we talked about how we should save our work on our personal space.

• I wrote a lesson to myself listing three things I would like to achieve before the end of the college year.

Postcard experimentation

01/10/15

I went ahead and pasted an image of one of the places in Bath.

When things became complicated for the second image, I opened up the file it was in and dragged it in.

And I succeeded!

I added the coat of arms of Bath and used the Magic Wand tool to edit out the white background.

(Wikipedia)

Then I added the finishing touches to it, by typing down 'City of Bath', used the font Luminari Regular and coloured the words in blue, because it is calming colour and it represents the water in the baths. I added a white shape to help make the words stand out.

UPDATE: The bus did give a clue of what it was representing. But I didn't actually like all of the photos, because there was no representation of Bath, but these photos are not technically mine. I could have have taken photos of things that REPRESENTS Bath, such as the statue of King Bladud or the Roman Baths.
