Beginning

In class the other day I decided to write my double page spread. I had Kayla help me come up with interview questions and how I should start it. I actually began to make a lot of progress. I wrote the introduction to the double page spread and five questions to ask during the interview. Then I had to start thinking how i would lay out the double page spread. I didn't want to write "I asked" and "She responded" over and over again because that'd be very annoying to readers, so I went online and looked up examples of magazines. One magazine really stood out to me and gave me the idea of how I will write my double page spread. This is what my inspiration was:


 I really liked how they bolded the questions and gave them a different font with the answers underneath. This makes it easier for readers to read it and understand the flow.









After writing my intro and analyzing my layout, I moved on to my table of contents. I kind of forgot about the whole table of contents until Kayla reminded me in class. Don't know what'd I do without her! I was able to come up with 5 different headlines to include in the table of contents and I chose page numbers that were a range in number. For example, one page I wrote as page 12 and another is page 53. This shows that I have a vision for the whole magazine.

My cover page is mostly finished the only thing missing is the cover image and one headline on it. My group wanted to keep the cover pages simple with not a lot of writing so we decided to only write one. The headline I will put on my cover page is my double page spread article, "Stressed out? WORK IT OUT!" So far my cover page looks like this:






Once I take my pictures I just have to put my cover image there and type the headline and it will be done. Once I finish my cover page I'll show you guys what it looks like, talk to you later.

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.
