Third Quarter Submission




In my final 3rd quarter submission, my three revisions have been made in alteration of the rough draft submission from last semester.
The revisions seen in my title page were monumentally different than my prior submission, in the way that I made to target an audience that should take my cause seriously, and should catch the eye of the viewer to want to read more. I made this happen through the use of a larger image as my background, using the angle of the photo to make it feel as though it is towering over the text. The box lettering around the title of the magazine uses teal and maroon to tie in with the color seems in the image itself, which is what I plan to do with every issue that I publish. Along with this, I included our Instagram handle: environmentallychic_, which is an up and running account.
The revisions seen in my table of contents are also reflective of the large steps that I could took to maturing my magazine, by taking on a more minimalistic style, using slender fonts and lines to separate each number, which allows the audience to be able to read the text easier, and therefore use it for it’s purpose instead of causing confusion like the one seen in my last semester submission.
The revisions seen in my two-page article are tweaked greatly in comparison to my prior submission, while repurposing bits and pieces of the interview, and formulating into one that flows nicely, and does not include any awkward pauses. Along with this, I have included the color scheme seen in my title page and table of contents, therefore continuing the theme seamlessly. By adding new and old pictures into the article, and formatting them in a way that wraps around the text has been an art that I have recently began to utilize, which is why my last semester submission was lacking in that area. With this in mind, I have decided to become familiar with the programs known as Indesign and Microsoft Publisher, which have allowed my creativity to branch out incredibly.

3rd Revision


Rough Draft Submission

Third Quarter Revision 

Within my rough draft submission, I chose a very subpar layout, with little design and creativity involved, while inputting my images in a messy and disorganized manner. Along with this, I ended my prior draft with a very awkward and unfit ending to the interview, which made it feel as though the project was unfinished. In my 3rd revision, regarding my two-page article, I chose to format a border, using the same color scheme from the title page and table of contents. I also used text boxes to format the text in a way that was pleasing to read, while tweaking the interview to include a conclusive yet bright ending, with a call to action to the audience to take part in the environmental initiative, and how anyone could make a change.
I made these alterations to the two-page article because I liked how it flowed with the rest of the magazine, and felt as though it displayed my images in a way that was what I intended, along with practicing and balancing color with pink, black, and maroon.

2nd Revision

3rd Quarter Revision 

In my submission that I provided last semester, it was incredibly mediocre and lacked the professional vibe that I was initially going for. I chose to use Microsoft Publisher instead of Canva, which provided a pre-designed template and was not original. Within my revision for third quarter, I chose a minimalist design, and made sure to make it more professional with the font and overall look of the table of contents.  I believe this layout will ensure that my magazine will be taken more seriously, especially with the environmental initiative that I am trying to push within my marketing campaign. However, I did combine the color of the hearts in the rough draft submission with the background color in the third quarter revision.

1st Revision

 Rough Draft Submission 

3rd Quarter Revision 

My third quarter submission contrasts greatly from my submission from last semester. I decided to go for a more minimalistic design, and used a different program to accomplish my vision. I become acquainted with the program known as Indesign, and decided to craft my cover page with the tools provided and start from scratch, rather than using a pre-designed template in my last semester submission. I differentiated my color scheme as well, and decided to match it with the colors seen in the picture. While doing this, I decided that for my magazine, I wanted to color coordinate each issue to the colors seen in the cover picture. This would bring a more individualistic touch to each magazine that would be published, and give the audience a feel for what was inside. Along with this, I added my Instagram handle for my magazine, which I had mentioned in my marketing plan that I would be utilizing.
