something I heard about a couple of times during the trip was using "issu" in order to showcase our print magazine digitally and not just have a website that is exactly the same as what we've printed. Not only do I think using issu would be beneficial, but I think we should also be getting more web only stories up on our site based on that. The lady who gave us our website critique really emphasized that even though there's a place for your print magazine on your site, that shouldn't be the majority.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that briefs aren't super difficult to publish start to finish, it's just a matter of getting out to games and/or events. During the convention website critique it was suggested that we don't just have a website that's a direct repost of our print issues and with the exception of the ones we do print, briefs are usually the way to do that. For me I think that getting on top of those would really help me keep my skills sharp but could also be helpful learning new things about the website since it's all online.

Not eveyrhting that is popular is newsworthy.

He mentioned a technique called YOSO (You Only Shoot Once). Its better to have filmed a lot rather than not having enough b-roll for your videos. He also shared with us his WALLDO technique. Which are a bunch of angles tht could imporve the look of our videos, (Wide, Angle, Low, Linking, Depth, Opposite). Be prepared: know your topic and angle have focus on your statement

Search your interview or topic so you appear knowledgeable about your topic

Write your questions out

Reduce to a few core questions

Think about what your audience wants to know or needs to know

Just ask one question at a time

Always identify yourself as a reporter and from which organization

I learned during the critique that we might want to start using the dollar bill rule where we have entry points, such as an infographic pull quote, or photo to break up long amounts of texts.

I'm with Brian on this one. we went to the game meeting and the more the lady explained the more important social media became. Putting out updates, pictures, and sneak pictures and other fun things will really capture students attention and expand our viewership. We also need to capture in class moments of fun and of struggle. From the painful late nights and students crying in the corner over work. All of these moments will further entertain out audience and expand our viewership. She mentioned having a dedicated Media team which would be nice but our staff is limited so I'm not sure how realistic this would be. Also using other lesser known cites to gather ideas for projects.

A brief session I was in by accident actually had some great basics and reminders about colors. When picking the colors for a design keep in mind what the reader feels when they see those colors. For example, red sometimes gives a stressful, intense impression. We need to keep this in mind as our school color is crimson. Also, he shared about the color wheel and is was a reminder to me to use that in my designs to find new color combos. There are also a website called Paletton that has a whole bunch of colors and you can see the different colors of the year and what are popular.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In love with colors, since 2002.

Paletton.com is a designer color tool designed for creating color combinations that work together well. It uses classical color theory with ancient artistic RYB color wheel to design color palettes of one to four hues, each of five different shades. Various preview style can be chosen to test and view the colors in combinations, many examples are available to see the palette used in web site design, UI design or in a randomly drawn picture. Tartan fabric preview is alos available for those interested in textile and interior design.

This palette tool uses various color models to combine adjacent colors and/or complementary colors to the main hue. Select models from monochromatic to triad or tetrad color sets, with or without a complement (the opposite hue), enjoy even the free-style mode. Play with palette brightness and saturation, select from predefined presets, or create random palettes. The unique vision simulation filter emulates the palette as seen by people with various vision weakness, color blindness, various variants of daltonism (protanopy, deuteranopy, tritanopy, protanomaly, deuteranomaly, tritanomaly, dyschromatopsia or achromatopsia), as well as several gamma simulations (simulation of too bright display or too dark print), desaturation, grayscale conversion or webcolors (the legacy 216-color palette). The palette can be exported in many various formats (HTML, CSS, LESS, XML, text, PNG image, Photoshop ACO swatch palette or Gimp GPL palette format) to colorize your artwork. Check color contrast of all color pairs used in the palette and test if the color contrast fits WCAG requirements. More info about colors in the Colorpedia.

Paletton is the successor of the previous Color Scheme Designer 3 application, used by almost 20 milion visitors since 2009 (while the first version was published in 2002), both professional designers and amateurs interested in design, mobile or desktop application design or web design, interior design, fashion or home improvement and make-overs. Complete Paletton history in Colorpedia.

CAPTION FORMULA:

1. Lead in with a mini header- a catchy phrase that draws the reader in

2. Identifying sentence- in present tense that tells what is happening in the picture and who is in the picuture

3. Secondary Intro sentence- this gives additional info about the context and background of the picture. This is in past tense.

4. Add a quote- it is an opinion of someone who is in the picture

A session I sat in on was about Verbal and Visual Design.

The idea of Verbal and Visual Design is to capture your viewers when they see your page. Whether it be a pull quote, infographic, photos, words, etc. The point is to get our readers to consume our content and ideas. Verbal and Visual Design are MAJOR entry points. The more we have, the more we can get readers to focus on our content. It's best to start with a theme. Since we are a News Magazine, we have the in-depth, but a theme to carry on onto every page to echo our theme is how we want to go about cohesiveness and consistent. This is how we establish our voice through design.

"A strong verbal = a strong visual... and vise versa.

Establish the voice (Bold, Playful, Whimsical, Sad, Serious, LITERAL, etc).

It's good to take a lot of inspo. and make something into your own for design !

We want it to be intentional. All the design should be intentional and should echo a voice, something that also could correlate with our story or "theme"

For designs, it's okay to take things literal. For headings as well. Whatever the story is about, designs can be quite literal.

FONTS: we want our fonts to be easy to read. We got critiqued on it but I think that keeping that in mind, we could be more creative with it while staying consistent and legible.
