Update

For the past  2 weeks now we have been out of school due to the coronavirus. As I explained in my last blog, this virus and not having school has effected my project. When we ended school two Fridays ago, I sent myself what I had so far of my magazine so I was able to access it at home.

It was a struggle getting Indesign on my computer but after 4 hours, I was able to access the project. Everything was laid out how I had it in school, but none of the fonts I chose were available so I decided to just pick out some new ones. THIS TOOK FOEVER. I was really satisfied with most of the fonts I had chosen and picking out new ones were not fun and it was hard to find fonts that matched well together. I finally found some that flowed.

Everything would have been much easier if we still had school. Having school gave me convenient access to InDesign without having to sign up for a 7 day free trial. The program took very long to instal to my computer because at first, it was not updated to download the software. I could have had my final project completed last week if we still had school and I would have been able to begin my CCR way earlier. The virus pushed back my work timeline and made it more difficult to get done.

As of right now I am 3/4 the way done with the magazine and I will be completed by Sunday. I updated everything on the table of contents page, half of the double page spread, and then I did a few changes to cover. Then once the magazine is complete on Sunday, I am going to FaceTime a classmate to get feedback on my final project which I will then make another blog about including our call and also get feedback from another friend which I have been staying with and create a separate blog out of that. Lastly Monday, I will begin my CCR and get in depth answers of what I want to talk about in my CCR and complete it the next day.
