Pictures

Today I finally got to shoot my images. For my cover page I stuck to the glossy background with the model at the center of the page. As my article for my double page spread is about the fashion along the summer season, I decided to take my images for the double page spread outside in a sunny, summer-like environment:



With the pictures finalized I can finally finish putting my magazine together, and continue with the completion of the content of my double page spread as well as my table of contents.

Feedback session #2

Today in class we had the final feedback discussion  before the due date of the project. I gained reassurance from it because I felt like I was extremely behind but it turns out I just need to catch up on shooting my pictures. I was having trouble thinking of a background to use for my cover image, and where I wanted to take it. My group brought up some examples of other magazines and presented them to me, and I decided that my background should be plain, but with a glossy touch. Colors like white, grey, and black are all good colors to use, depending on the color of what the model will be wearing. I also asked more about the double page spread and what I should talk about. I stated my idea that I mentioned in a blog post and the group liked it but they also gave me the idea of doing the article on a certain season. For example, “How to dress for the summer” which is not a bad idea, but I feel like it wouldn’t apply to my genre, but I am going to keep it in consideration.

Magazine website

Although I have not began to shoot, I began to play around with different magazine creation websites like joomag and canva. As I began to test different fonts and layouts I found that canva is actually a lot more simpler and user friendly. As I had already decided on a more sharp, clean font to represent masculinity and luxury for my cover title, I already knew what I was looking for. I came across a particular font which caught my attention immediately, the font is called "Oswald". This font is sharp and is clean. I was also debating between two layouts for my double-page spread, one included 3 text columns while the other was one column and two text boxes. I decided to wait until I finished shooting to finalize my decision for the double-page spread as the images will more than likely play a key roll in the double-page spread.
