For this newspaper mini project, as a group of four I feel like we all contributed an equal amount of work to make the newspaper come to life. Personally, I wrote one of the incorporated articles and helped look for different ads and images that could be put in it to make it look more pleasing to the eye and make it look like a modern-day newspaper. I was also the editor of the group, so as the editor I looked over the writing portion of the newspaper and made sure it was clear, understandable to the audience, and followed a the newspaper format.
If there was ever a next time for this project, I would definitely like to spend more time editing the whole written part of the newspaper because I mainly focused on my part of the writing, which isn't fair to my teammates. The headlines could've been more eye-catching because since it is the main focus of the paper and it's in bold letters, people are going to be drawn to it and if it's not interesting, then people won't be excited to take the time to continue reading the newspaper. We also could've put much more color and more creative fonts to make it look good-especially since we had a whole week to work on it.
As I look back at my process throughout this project, I don't think I used my resources as well as I would've liked to. There were some days when I didn't do anything because I felt like my part was done and one of my group members was pretty much just taking on the next step of the project after I had already done the first part.
To have a better turn out with this project, I think that I would've liked to get better education on In-design so that on days when I'm not doing much I could at least be more productive and help the person who's designing the newspaper. I think that I also should have spent more of the time that I was not doing anything to look at the actual newspaper to see how it could be made better because the end product wasn't as professional and well-organized as I hoped it would be. So with that said, since I know where our weaknesses are, I think our second draft could be a close to perfect newspaper.
