Website Finalization and Project Presentation

-
Having completed my article, I started to think of how to display my writing. I also reconsidered the fonts used in my website and I decided change them from 'Futura' to 'Reklame script' and 'Palatino Linotype' because I want to distinguish the 'About me' title from the rest of the writing. Palatino Linotype is slightly sharper and I think it looks more like a newspaper/media typography .



The initial idea was to use flip book to display my article. After Nixon told me he would use a flip book for his article about football I pictured it and I thought it was suitable because many news about football are or were presented in newspapers and magazines. However I have never seen a feature article in a newspaper, so I didn't think that recreating a newspaper using a flip book would be a good idea after all. When I did my research on The Guardian I looked on how the features were presented to have a better perspective. I eventually chose to create a subpage to my portfolio page and this page will display the article itself. I added buttons that link the subpage which I named 'Feature article'  to the portfolio page. The buttons shows 'view more' in the portfolio page and 'back to articles' in the subpage.


 



I decided to use a table or grid from 'add' which I could customize to show the title and introduction to the article. I added a picture of a plane crash found on Unsplash because I did not want to repeat the pictures I shot since they will be on the subpage. As I mentioned before, the 'view more' will transfer to the article itself. Then, another button 'back to articles' will return to the portfolio page.


             I have deleted the Feedback page, and now the website is ready for the article.

In this blog post I have researched three different Journalists, each of these researches will help me with different aspects. Diana Sawyer helped me gain some knowledge and ambition for the future while Hanna Dreier and Robert Fisk have helped me achieve some clearer ideas for my major project, on the different characteristics and strategies used by journalists.   Diane Sawyer, ABC News Diane Sawyer is an American television broadcast journalist that has worked for the ABC World news program from 2009 to 2014.

Sequential photography made by me (individually)

My initial ideas on this task were to create a set of sequential images that had a deeper meaning compared to the set we created as classwork. I came up with the idea to shoot a set of sequential images whilst giving money to a man in need. I decided to place the action of giving the money halfway through the images because I wanted to create a sort of narrative within the images. In this way, I was able to show the difference in the man's expression before having the money and after having the money. As you can see below, I drew a storyboard sketch to demonstrate my initial idea. Storyboard sketch: Process of Editing: I took the pictures with my phone and I changed the original color to a black&white filter using my camera settings.  Then, I edited the brightness of each photo to a higher level still using the camera settings on my phone.                              ...

Flip book practice

I had a look at Yumpu today on how to create a flip book for my article. I began by creating an account on yumpu.com I pressed on the little cross sign next to my name on the right top corner.   3.  Click on 'select file to upload' must be a PDF .This option does not work at the moment because  I have used my 3 free practices but this is how I did it. I will create a new account for future use. 4. I have uploaded a PDF document found on my laptop and after a few seconds the document developed into a flip book.     The file can then be downloaded as shown by the screenshot I took         Source:               yumpu.com
