To Team or Not to Team

 As the weeks passed by of determining whether I want to work alone or with a partner I have concluded on what my final decision is going to be. I feel like it’s at my best interest to work independently for this. 

          When regarding the last activities in class the “Social Media Peer Account” I was able to understand the type of personality that I observed while viewing my peer's social media accounts. I feel like although they have many diverse traits that can be helpful when it comes to teamwork, from my perspective in order for me to feel satisfied I should rely more on myself so if anything were to happen then I wouldn’t have to hold myself accountable.  

       As for the other reasons my peers have many outgoing traits about themselves, but I strongly suggest that I am better working independently. The other activity we discussed in class was the “Lost at Sea” activity. As I was doing this, I realized that my peer and I have similar yet very different approaches and in honesty it made my decision become a lot clearer. To me, I feel like I obtain specific strengths and weaknesses that they don’t have and when carrying out the activity I realized my strengths and weaknesses balanced each other out more than they related to my peers.  I also realize that there are a variety of personality types within each person that it might end up causing conflict which I would very rather avoid. The way they present themselves on social media looks like an actual representation of who they are as a person in real life as opposed to a screen. The way they carry out problem solving differs increasingly in the way I would proceed to problem solving which gives me a feeling that it’s most likely to not workout. A big difference that is crucial is the fact that some of us are doing a film and I am doing a magazine and that doesn’t fall together. 

In the article, it states that every member involved in constructive teamwork has a voice that needs to be heard. Eli Becker shows how conflict can be resolved by the basics of understanding one another. This includes in any team building or team exercise that is being held. One of the main reasons why I feel like doing this project independently is a positive factor is because I can avoid any type of conflict that tries to present itself because I'll be doing it on my own. 

Concluding, I have a very basic understanding of the project and I know enough to be able to do it myself. In many ways I feel like I differ from the rest of my peer's personality traits. Although, the diversity can work well with others to me I feel like it would create more bumps when putting the project all together. Not only does doing this independently going to help me understand myself better for this project but, it’ll also help prepare me for the real world.

Peer Review

 When presenting my magazine to my peers I got many types of feedback along with many new ideas to help me perfect my magazine. Throughout they seemed to love my picture choices especially my cover picture that I had with the three girls all next to each other and I changed that color and tone of that photo to be black and white but there was also many room for improvement and I am willing to work on that. For the cover page it was suggested that I make smaller text on the title page pop out more and the use of a copper color was to be put into effect to make it do so and the place where I have "what to expect in the fashion industry worldwide" on the upper right hand corner was suggested to be moved under the lining of the girl on the far right's shirt. Another good suggestion was to put all the text in red which was all the stuff that was under my masthead and place them on the bottom of the magazine so I have more room to show the background image, they also commented ...

Magazine Cover Review

Image
       When assessing this article of the different types of covers on magazines there are many different varieties of brands and how they put th eir Magazines together.  When viewing th e different magazine  covers,  I felt like there was  many different varieties  of magazines and their covers.  When  seeing these  magazines in class I noticed that some magazines have been around for a while. An example of this  is “ Rolling Stone” magazine. This magazine featured Travis Scott which  is a good attention grabber for the younger audience and it’s more likely for that generation to want to read that magazine oppose to  “Southern Living” where the focus is more on baking and cooking  recipes . In the  Rolling Stone   magazine,   it shows many different  varieties  and   the boldness   in the text.  The artist in this shows him above all and they’re comparing it to his “u...

Post Production 1- Editing

 The focus on my editing I accomplished the use of Adobe photoshop and InDesign. I have watched videos for both softwares and played around with it so that when I go and input my work and pictures I have some sort of idea on what I am doing. I changed my masthead color from red to a tan color and the coverline was moved below the person all the way to the right on the cover. The typography I changed was throughout my magazine because they were all different fonts and I narrowed it down to three so it doesn't look spread out. At first when I was working with InDesign it didn't work well on what I wanted it to but, after I spent some time fidgeting I was able to first, put together a mimic magazine and then after I put it all together. After doing my draft I realized that there were aspects that I didn't take into consideration and I fixed all of that. At first, I wanted to change my coverline to something more smaller and straight foward but then I realized that my original ...
