Ideas


So I am still not able to log into Joomag. It's getting really annoying at this point. Every time I go on the website I can't seem to find the button to create a magazine. The only options it gives me when I go on is to read and subscribe to other magazines. I started using the website Canvaa because it was easy for me to make an account and start my magazine, but it didn't offer me the same variety of options Joomag did. I ran into a situation  because my other two group members were able to access Joomag and the options they offer, Canvaa didn't have the same options as them and our magazines wouldn't be the same, so I had to figure out how to get on Joomag or we would have to use Canvaa. Kayla took my computer in class and tried to get me onto Joomag. I have probably logged on and off that website 100 times already and nothing works. 



After like half an hour of trying to get me logged in, Kayla asked me if my teacher sent the access code to Joomag to another account because apparently there is supposed to be a code to get access that I didn't use. I gave her my second email that might work and she tried. Ten minutes later she logged in and I was able to finally create a magazine on Joomag. By the time I got logged in i didn't have much time to work on my layout and write things on my magazine, but I was able to mess around with it a little and figure out how it works. Joomag is actually very difficult to figure out how to use, so I'm probably going to have to watch the video tutorials when I get home. All I did on Joomag was type in my title and move around and delete some cover lines that were already there. I found a font for my title that i absolutely LOVED. It's called "Diavlo." But that font matched the picture that was on the magazine to start with and I'm not sure how it's going to look when I put my cover picture on it, but then again I'll just find another font that works. 




Working on our magazine layouts on Joomag, my team and I decided that we want sort of a simple cover with not too much going on. We wanted minimal cover lines or none at all. With just the title of our magazine and the cover picture. I was looking up examples to some magazines to show Kayla and Paulina how I wanted it to look and I found a perfect one. I'm going to show them to see what they think. Talk to you guys later.

See this magazine cover looks appetizing and is simple. This is similar to how I want to make mine. This weekend I am going to work on the layout of my magazine and my simple cover line. Also, I am going to brainstorm what picture I want on my cover page and what to do for my double page spread.

Feedback

So I'm back and I haven't gotten much done. I have ideas of the things I want to do like the pictures I showed in one of my latest blog posts, but I haven't decided what I want as my cover image and the story for my double page spread. That's why my class spent time today to get in groups and give feedback to one another on how all our projects are going, whether they're good or bad, and help us make decisions were indecisive about. I sat with two girls from my class that are also doing a magazine. One was doing a travel magazine and the other was doing a recipe magazine. It helped me a lot to have someone doing a recipe magazine in my group because it is similar to my genre of my magazine and we can compare each others stuff. We were able to give ideas to each other that neither of us thought of before and opened our eyes a little bit to new ideas and how to make it better. I didn't have much to show the group because I haven't started my magazine. The on

Double page

So I haven't really done anything for my project yet, but I have all the ideas. I kind of got carried away during spring break and didn't pay attention to my project. I didn't end up taking my pictures, I've decided that I am going to write my double page spread first and then take the pictures. Clearly I am going to have to go back to the grocery store and buy my ingredients for the acai bowl, but also it gives me more time to contemplate if I actually want my acai bowl as my cover page. In an earlier blog I discussed how I will interview a high school student for my double page spread. Well I found the student that I will interview. Her name is Maddy and she is 16 years old. She is in 11th grade, loves to workout, and is involved in outside of school activities. I thought that she was the perfect candidate for my double page spread because she is young and a girl, which appeals to my target audience. Also, she is fit, loves to workout, and is involved in multiple extr

Finish

I never thought this day would actually come (Lol), but i actually finished my magazine. However, I still have to do my CCR so I'm not totally off the hook. I'm going to write my script tonight and record on Friday and then submit. I'm almost there and I can't wait to get this weight off my shoulders.
