 Editing was not as daunting a task as I had expected.  Today, I took another look at my magazine. I am satisfied with the small edits I made, as stated in the previous blog post.  Overall, I am content with my magazine but there are certain aspects I wish were different.  Particularly, I think my paintings could have been a bit cleaner and more true to how I am used to painting rather than how I tried to for this project. I think they may have turned out better had I tried to paint more natural beauty, flora and fauna.  People is my weakness and I should have addressed that earlier.  However, I enjoyed parts of the experience of making it.  This includes what I learned from the interview and writing the article.   I also think I could have been more creative and used my strengths to make it a better product but time and uncertainty harmed it.  However, I am glad to be able to share Cultureprism.  

 The editing I had to do was quite simple and I was able to get back into my project with a new perspective after presenting it.   First, I heeded the advice of changing the color of the masthead.  I had wanted to keep it green because that is a significant color for this issue of the magazine but I did agree it needed to stand out more.  So I changed it to a darker green and changed "May" to the lighter, brighter green.  I also changed the Issue number to simply the year so as to have room and I thought it better represented the issue. I played around with where to put 'May' and '2021' but I thought it looked best framing the masthead rather than listed down the page.  I was glad to make the tagline larger and get that across as well.   I also fixed the spacing on the Contents page and removed the 'Mat 2021', per the reminder that it was redundant.  It definitely made it look more clean and it was relieving to space out the sections....

      I received some enlightening feedback on my project, but it was overall very positive.  I was relieved and pleased with what was said.  When I went up to the board to present it also gave me perspective seeing my work enlarged on the screen.  I saw that it actually came through nicely and was not as blurry, but I also recognized that my Contents page looked a lot more crowded and unproportionate than I thought.       As for positive reinforcement, I had several say that they thought my project was creative and original.  They liked how I had painted the images and kept a theme throughout.  A few said that they liked that the images were simplistic and colorful.  They also said that the overall look was professional.  Two of my classmates said that it was appealing because it was like an illustrated children's book.  This made me happy to hear; my concept benefits from being as bookish as possible. ...
