Here is the research and development for my magazine double spread, I will put all of my ideas here and reflect on the decisions that I make. I have decided to seperate my double page spread research and development from my front cover research to help me seperate them and be more organized.
Self Reflection:
I found this task is challenging because i was absent for a week due to my health condition, but i was able to catch up and finish this work. I was having a hard time while doing this because at first i didin't know that there was a template or table, after asking my teacher, i re-do all the work using the table. But i am pretty satisfied with the outcome of my research and development. The things that i learned from this research is i find a bright playful colour is interesting and i might apply it to my magazine (color theory), i also believe that by having less text and a good proportion of layout is an important part as it play a crucial roles to attract the readers. Because usually i find too much text on the article is boring.
