#20-Reflection #4

    I used Blogger for logging my progress and keeping ideas for continuous revision, and then changed each version until I had what I wanted for the project. The images were taken with a generic phone camera, which used videos and slow motion for attempting to capture more dynamic images, as well as panoramas and lighting adjustments for certain illusions and capturing larger-scale things (such as clouds or the sun), with the graphic for the Space Weather Article made in Scratch, the cover designed in Scratch add made in Pages, and the rest of the magazine made in Pages. I had to use Lunapic to make the Scratch graphic transparent, which was a flaw in the plan, but the design was relatively easy to create in Scratch rather than it might be by another method.

     For the story on Typhoon Tip and Hurricane Patricia, the spread lacks a dominant or secondary photos, since I couldn't take a picture of a hurricane or hurricane-related conditions while planning the magazine. The headline is meant to be part of the article, possibly indicated by the addition of a comma to help the audience comprehend this while still keeping it at a larger font on a distinct colored background for it. The byline of articles in the magazine would indicate the sources as well as the writer, as these are informational articles, and would be placed at the end of each article. Rather than one 'feature story' (due to my varied interests and the wide variety of meteorological events that can occur in Spring in the U.S., there are planned to be two; this one, and one on Space Weather. Secondary content might include definitions and long-term forecasts. The Space Weather article will have a sub-section of information, as will the Tip v. Patricia article. ...
