Inspirations

Today I met with my group in class again. We discussed further on the ideas for our magazine, such as, the layout, where we want the title, title font and color, and more. Halfway through our discussion we realized that our title "Healthy Eats" didn't really fit our magazine theme. Since we wanted to include fitness tips and ideas we decided to change our title from "Healthy Eats" to "Healthy Alert". Paulina came up with this title. We havent't decided on the font color or size yet, but we have decided that we are going to make the title a large size at the center top of the page. Our picture will be in the middle of the front cover under the title with just a few cover lines on the side. We started looking at other magazine examples to get inspired and one issue of "bon appétit" called "Sunday Suppers" caught my eye. The picture of the food look so appealing it made me hungry and it was so simple with no cover lines. It got me inspired and made me want to make my magazine similar to it.

I didn't have time to start my research in class since we were deciding on the style and design of the magazine, but tomorrow I will start. Talk to you guys tomorrow.

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.
