Use of conventions

My project is solely based of the genre sports. My article features the topic of softball at Sarasota high, but also includes other sports articles throughout the magazine. For my text on the front cover, I mostly kept it clean and basic. I made the title font orange to  match the school colors of Sarasota High which are orange and black. The words "Hard work and dedication" that go through the center of the page are bold. I did this to draw attention to a simple phrase of what athletes must have for success. The fonts on the side of my cover are too small, so I need to do some editing to make it bigger and more appealing to the reader. For my article font I used word art. I wanted for it to look like bubble letters so I have the outline of the orange around the "Sarasota In Action" with a softer orange filling in the middle. Also, on my article, I have two different T's. The first one is to draw attention to the girl I was interviewing and her name was Taylor. I decided to make the letter a bigger font size and outline the letter with orange. On the next page, the girl I interviewed was named Taryn and I didn't want to put the same T again so I filled the letter with orange and had the white on the outside.

Feedback/ Revisions

On the cover, most of the feedback I received was to enlarge the text because it was very hard to read. I had a couple small text boxes with an outline around them and a few people suggested I remove the outline so I have more space for the words. There was also mention that on the table of contents page I had a lot of white space. I should fill it with more pictures or even add more pages to the table of contents. In order to do so, I will most likely have to re organize the layout to something more broad within the page so I have more room to work with instead of sectioning off the pictures and words separately. Another thing I need to add is page numbers and a branding. I forgot to put them on my mid term submission so this will make my article look better. By making these changes, my magazine will look more appealing and professional.
