3/30/17 Feedback and Revisions

We presented our 3rd quarter submission to the class and Mr. Elsbree this week. In doing so, Hannah and I got some very helpful feedback to help us polish up our magazine before the final submission is due. First off, I got the feedback that I should include more of a variety of pictures of Nick and baseball throughout my magazine. While I would love to make this change, I do not have the availability in my schedule to make the trip up to Gainesville in order to perform another Photo shoot. Along with this, Nick has a very busy schedule as they are in the middle of the spring baseball season, so he is unavailable to make the trip back down to Sarasota. Although my pictures don't have a wide variety, I believe they still contribute very well to my magazine. Aside from this, Hannah and I received some very helpful tips on how to revise our table of contents. While our format can be different, there were some key features in both of our table of contents that were varying. First, we were told to make sure that our writing on that page was the same front for the both of us. Hannah decided to change her font to the one I was using, Lithos Pro Regular. Hannah also added the arrow bullets that she left out accidentally when originally creating her table of contents. Along with this, my font was originally bolded on my table of contents but we decided it would be best if I unbolded it so it didn't outshine the background picture. Lastly, Elsbree gave us the advice to have some continuity regarding where our page numbers were placed for each article. Hannah and I decided we would have them on the second line following the name of the article. I believe these changes have greatly impacted my work to make it better overall. I will show a picture of my old table of contents and new table of contents below. The old is on top and the new is on the bottom. - Hope Bumgarner
