I never thought this day would actually come (Lol), but i actually finished my magazine. However, I still have to do my CCR so I'm not totally off the hook. I'm going to write my script tonight and record on Friday and then submit. I'm almost there and I can't wait to get this weight off my shoulders.

Today in class I was finally able to finish my double page spread. I have been working on this for about 3 days, I was getting so annoyed. I started with the title "Stressed out? WORK IT OUT!" I put "stressed out?" above "WORK IT OUT!" and centered it. I made the "work it out" in bigger font and a different color. I wanted to put in a yellow color to go with the theme, but it didn't show up on the page, so I made it a blue. I started to type up my introduction to my double page spread underneath my title. I put the introduction in "Diavlo" font and everything else in "Aller". I typed up my interview questions and answers. It was hard to space everything out because there was a lot. After changing font sizes and spacing I finally got everything where I want it. I made my questions in bold and a bigger font than the answers. Then I started to do the right side of my double page spread. I ran into an issue with spacing here

I think the table of contents gave me the most issues out of the whole magazine. I wanted a single page for my table of contents, but Joomag only provided a double page spread. I asked all my friends doing a magazine how they made it a single page, but they all told me they had the same issue. No one could figure out how to make the table of contents one page. I searched online for about 20 minutes figuring it out, but nothing said I could make it one page. I decided to just deal with it and start on my table of contents. I started with 5 pages to put in my table of contents then changed it to 4. I had titles written already, but I messed around with them a bit. I wanted to make my page numbers fun and interesting instead of just writing "Pg.5", so I made my page numbers inside a colorful circle. I made each circle a different color. I used light colors though, really giving the summer feel. For example, light pink, light green, and light blue. It took awhile to center the

I finally put my magazine together after weeks of procrastination. I brought my computer to class the other day and started to work. I started with my cover page which was quite simple. I just emailed myself all the pictures I was going to use and downloaded them to my computer. After, I selected the picture for my cover page and added it to my file. When it uploaded the picture covered all my text on my cover page. I already had my title written and "Summer Issue". This became a problem because I needed to see the words. I tried dragging the text out and putting it over my picture, but it still wouldn't show. I looked up how to layer photos on Joomag, but nothing helped. Finally I decided just to retype my text since it wasn't a lot. I deleted all the text and uploaded the picture again. I aligned the picture so it would fit perfectly on the page and then added text boxes for my title and subtitle. I decided the make the colors of my title and subtitle a yellow bec

After I took the pictures with Andrea, I headed towards Maddy's house to interview her. I asked her all the questions I prepared and typed them all on a google docs. She gave really good, long, and insightful answers. However, I had to cut some things she said short because they all wouldn't fit on my double page spread. The interview only took about 20 minutes and was easy. Andrea and Maddy were honestly such a big help in my magazine and I am so grateful. i got home and started to organize all my pictures and questions, just to see which ones I was going to use and not use. I tried to start my magazine, but I didn't really understand how to layer my text over my photos and move everything around. I asked Kayla if she'd help me in class and she said yea, since most of her project was finished. I'm finally more calm since I took my pictures and got everything moving. I am ready to put my whole magazine together. I'll talk to you guys later.
