This is my best example of copyfitting. This is my best example of copy fitting because it is the closest to my final art production. I actually went and copyfitted this a second time, after I re-worked the paragraphs. I did this before I re-worked the magazine layout, so it is still not exactly like the final art production. I also had to work with the letting and tracking throughout the copy to make sure I had no single words by them selves. After doing copyfitting a few times I feel that I have gotten much faster and more accurate at it. However, it seems that everytime I go from the thumbnails witht the copyfitting to the final or computer art I find that I forgot to copyfit something, whether its a head line or a pull quote or small paragraph. So this time when I went to recopyfit the article I made sure that I got everything. I had also reworked the copy to make less paragraphs and to have the copy make more sence when being read in the magazine. The problem with this copyfitting is that it doesn't wrap around the can as it does in the final art production. The reason it doesnt is that I wasn't originally going to have the text wrap around the can. I was just going to have the two columns below the can. When I didnt that I felt that the can was to small, so I enlarged it and then had to do something with the copy. I aslo decided I wanted to have a drop letter as the first letter in the copy to help tie in the pages with color. I didnt do this in the copyfitting because once again I wasnt planning on doing it orginally.
