Peer Review

 When I presented my magazine I got a lot of constructive criticism and some compliments.


Some of the positives were that I had a great title and people enjoyed the lighter pastel colors I chose to use for my text.

Some of the most important criticism I received was that  since my magazine is geared towards an older more educated group of individuals, I should make my magazine look more sleek and like it is meant for an older person. I also need to fix my cover page since there was a lot going on and make it more simple. My feature article was deemed as too short by my peers so I need to increase the length of my actual text.

Although I received a lot of criticism this was a helpful and insightful experience. It's very difficult to critique your own work so when others do it for you even though it can be harsh, it is helpful in creating a better overall product.

One last sight I decided to take a picture of was a golfing range with golf balls out in the field since sport playing is seen as a form of celebration.  Another area I decided to explore with my photography was home décor. I decided to do this since the name of my magazine, Kali Ora, in Greek means good times, so I figured what represents time better than a clock, right? Besides the clock photo th...

(Production Five) My House Style

 My house style is a very fun loving, colorful, and slightly youthful looking dynamic. I decided to make my style appear this way so that it is interesting to many different groups of people, teens, children, and people who aspire to feel youthful once again. My house style is also seen as colorful with text that really pops out at you to try and grab my readers attention. Going with a more colorful style is also helpful for marketing since many magazines out on the lot today tend to stick to more drab and less colorful options, so having color will really make people take a second glance.
