Barcode

Learned something new today. I learned how to create an original barcode and paste onto my magazine. i had to ask Kayla for help because she already did hers and I didn't know how to do it. She told me to look up "Original barcode generator" and click on the second website that showed up (https://barcode.tec-it.com/en). I was so lost on the website Kayla had to walk me through the whole thing. On the right hand side of the magazine there were different barcode options to choose from and i chose "GS1 DataBar". I never knew how many barcode options there were, but I was overwhelmed. There were so many GS1 options and I kept going until I found "GS1-DataBar Limited". It generated the barcode and gave me the option to type my own number for the barcode. I kept it how it was because I didn't want to mess anything up. I saved the barcode to my computer and went back onto Joomag and pasted it. I moved it around and played with it until I got the size and place I wanted it.

I didn't know making a barcode was so easy, it literally took 2 minutes. Without Kayla's help I probably wouldn't be able to do it and maybe even forget I had to put a barcode.. oops. At least I did it and now I don't have to worry about. Talk to you guys later.

Here is what my magazine looks like so far with my barcode:

Feedback

So I'm back and I haven't gotten much done. I have ideas of the things I want to do like the pictures I showed in one of my latest blog posts, but I haven't decided what I want as my cover image and the story for my double page spread. That's why my class spent time today to get in groups and give feedback to one another on how all our projects are going, whether they're good or bad, and help us make decisions were indecisive about. I sat with two girls from my class that are also doing a magazine. One was doing a travel magazine and the other was doing a recipe magazine. It helped me a lot to have someone doing a recipe magazine in my group because it is similar to my genre of my magazine and we can compare each others stuff. We were able to give ideas to each other that neither of us thought of before and opened our eyes a little bit to new ideas and how to make it better. I didn't have much to show the group because I haven't started my magazine. The on

Double page

So I haven't really done anything for my project yet, but I have all the ideas. I kind of got carried away during spring break and didn't pay attention to my project. I didn't end up taking my pictures, I've decided that I am going to write my double page spread first and then take the pictures. Clearly I am going to have to go back to the grocery store and buy my ingredients for the acai bowl, but also it gives me more time to contemplate if I actually want my acai bowl as my cover page. In an earlier blog I discussed how I will interview a high school student for my double page spread. Well I found the student that I will interview. Her name is Maddy and she is 16 years old. She is in 11th grade, loves to workout, and is involved in outside of school activities. I thought that she was the perfect candidate for my double page spread because she is young and a girl, which appeals to my target audience. Also, she is fit, loves to workout, and is involved in multiple extr

Finish

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.
