production diary - week 9

In class this week, I had completed the task of creating two box out texts for my double page spread. I decided to include two so that readers are more enticed in reading the article containing different aspects, rather than reading just one article. Box out texts are also useful for linking the magazine to other media networks such as their website. This is why I have included a box text explaining to readers that when they scan the QR code, it will bring them straight to the exclusive video in their website. Box out texts can also be used help promotion for artists; this idea made me include a box out text for the artist's tour dates. This will not only advantage the artist, but it will also be good for readers that are fans of him. Including information in the box texts about the tour dates will help them to easily get hold of tickets. To improve, I could of added the actual colour scheme and designs I will be using for the box texts instead of having them shown in a very brief and draft-like way. In that same week, I continued to attempt in completing the scafolding for my magazine.
