CorrectionsMonday 19th DecemberChristmas Holidays
Wednesday 4 th January Today I added 4 smaller images to my cover lines. I cropped, resized and positioned the images according to my cover less. These bring more attention to the cover lines and make the front cover more appealing and eye catching to readers.
Added a list of pages and adjusted the header to fit correctly wit the intended style. I also added new bleeds to keep the format I have intended for my contents.
Monday 9 th January I found a finite style for my contents pageIn today's lesson, I changed the strokes and in some cases removed them to make the image seem closer to its counterpart. I also realized and added some more text to fill space and make it appear more appealing.
added an editorial to my contentsWednesday 25 th In today's lesson I: changed font colours, added a drop capital,
social media links, page numbers and web links.
Friday 27 th In today's lesson, I moved the 'Nirvana Logo', corrected some spelling and punctuation, added the masthead above the Barcode and re-aligned text with shapes to make the text stand out more. All of these add to the aesthetically pleasing style.
Monday 30 th After editing the magazine pages (specifically the barcode and puff promotion) I finished, saved and then uploaded all three of the pages and my other coursework onto the my word press account
