As part of my final submission, I adjusted the layout of my subheadings and shifted the gray box over so that it wouldn't overlap my cover model.  As for my Table of Contents, I changed the size and style of my fonts so create a more cohesive product.

Beyond computer technologies, I learned how to set up an interview, edit pictures, use a Canon camera instead of my iPhone, and set up photo-shoots, professionally. Setting up my interview and photo-shoot with Jake Ilardi was something I had never done before. I was able to develop my communication skills and become a better listener due to this experience. Additionally, the interview taught me how to better manage my time and control my schedule more efficiently. This newfound responsibility helped me discover more ways in which I can work better in school and other activities.
