Pictures

So I've finally was able to take my pictures. On Monday i had Andrea come to my house afterschool to take pictures. She didn't have many work out clothes, so I had to let her borrow some of mine. I gave her black leggings and I decided on a bright yellow shirt because it really gave off the summer mood. Since we didn't have a gym available to go and take pictures, we improvised and I decided to take the pictures at my neighborhood park on the basketball court. It seemed like a good setting because it is outside and also shows an exercise area. It was a perfect day to take pictures because it was extremely sunny. I had to edit the cover image so it looked a tad bit brighter, but I didn't have to do much.

Pictures didn't take that long, only about a half an hour. I also took the pictures for the ab workout examples on the basketball court as well. It was quick and easy and was able to get everything done. The only thing that slowed down my picture process were my two dogs. Sounds kind of funny, but it's true. I had to take them both with me to take the pictures and I wasn't really sure what to do with them. I couldn't hold them while I was taking the pictures because they would just get in the way and not stop moving. Eventually I found a spot to tie up their leashes so I could keep an eye on them, but also so that they wouldn't run into the pictures.

At the beginning of taking pictures, it was a little difficult to come up with the right pose for the cover. We had a couple fail attempts, but in the end we got the perfect one. Here are some pictures that weren't quite the best, and when we were still trying to figure out the right pose:

 After these few trials we finally got a good one:












If it wasn't for Andrea's help i honestly don't know what I'd do. In the end everything worked and I was able to get my cover page up. I'll talk to you guys 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.
