The Minor changes made were the insertion of our social media page in order to increase circulation and assist branding. The line spacing was evened out in an attempt to minimize unutilized space.

Creative Critical Reflection #4
How did you integrate technologies in this project?
The use of technology was important to every aspect of this project. From Emailing back and forth with other team members to coordinate aspects of our project. I also contacted the wrestling coach through email and set up the interview, and the article. I utilized technology when I was researching, getting electronic copies of magazines and viewing different brand's websites. The photos taken were all with my iPhone 8+ and formatted using adobe photoshop. The interview was also recorded on my phone. I then edited the magazine itself in a free editor called Canva.

How did your production skills develop through this project?
My production skills have increased significantly since the beginning of this project, seeing as though prior to this project I had none. I studied camera shots and angles in my product research in order to properly capture the intensity I desired within my magazine. The easiest part of the production process was writing the actual article. Because of my indecisive nature, I originally had three different covers with three different cover photos. I asked the opinions of some of my classmates and yielded the final product. I found attention to detail very difficult as far as the symmetry of text on both sides of the collum. Finishing touches that make the print seem more professional such as balancing the lighting through photo editing of my cover page. The largest production skill developed as much as my editing. I have learned that nothing is truly perfect, and can always be made better and Rome truly wasn't built in a day.

How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?
Before I answer how my magazine engages audiences, I must define who my audience is. As mentioned, my goal is to reach high school athletes and sports fans in my area and to provide them with high quality, and consistent sports news and updates. The engagement of said audience is not as difficult as it seems due to the large sports culture that exists in Florida. Schools have alumni and a devoted fan base of people in their area. Pride for where you come from will engage those to buy a copy of my magazine. As a real media text, the magazine would primarily be sold at Sarasota High School. Not only during the day, but during sports events as well. This can be accomplished by working with the teams that exist at my school and offering a kickback of all sales to help with the team's fundraising efforts. This creates a situation that is beneficial for the teams, the magazine, and the school. The largest audience of high school sporting events are the parents of athletes. By showcasing their kids and giving them a platform, Sailor Seasonal has successfully catered to our largest audience.

How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?
My project utilized the large, bold font found directly on the front cover of most magazines. This, along with the up-close shot of athletes training was meant to inspire readers for more action to be found within the pages of my magazine. By choosing an up close shot for my cover, my goal is to place readers right in the action, getting up close and personal with the people they were about to be reading about. I utilized the convention of branding by placing the logo on every page. The particular issue of my magazine, being wrestling challenges the conventions of high school sports magazines itself. Wrestling by far is not the most popular sport at my high school and others like it in my area. By focusing on a competitive sport that doesn't have a large following I can give athletes that deserve recognition for their hard work and talent that they deserve.
