Today in class, we did a round robin critique once again, only with a twist. Instead of the usual round-robin, we went around with our own piece of paper and wrote down our critiques and praises of other peoples' articles. After going around to all the computers, we all gathered at each persons' computer and discussed their articles as a group based on the feedback we wrote down for each person. When the group got to me, I was told that overall my publication has come along very well, and had only a few suggestions of changes to make to it. Some of those include incorporating texture into the lines going down the recipe and feature articles, like how the Doga and Training articles do. Another was to eliminate the article titles on the main page and leave it simple with the magazine title, photo, and graphic. The Doga article was said to be a bit too busy, and it was suggested to either crop the photo in the second page or get rid of it all together. A big problem that I faced today upon opening my articles the beginning of class was the pixelation of images that weren't previously like that, and a mysterious white box behind the paws on the preview, but not in the editing area. The problem was resolved by simply removing the articles from the folio and reloading them onto it. I hope this doesn't happen again, but I know how to fix it if it does.
Homework:
