Design of a Magazine

     The design of your magazine creates the image you want for it. 

The steps you need to design your magazine are:

1. Nail your concept 

    Make sure you know your purpose, look at other magazines with the same genre, and how to add on. 

2. Identify framework

    Create your boundaries about how many editions you want to release over a certain period of time.

3. Plan the branding and tone voice

    Define the personality of your magazine. Then after you do this, create motifs that matches the brand and tone you’re implementing.  

4. Commission the editorial

    Get editors to make sure everything about your magazine is typed correctly, placed correctly, tilted correctly, etc. they make sure everything matches the theme of your magazine.

5. Promote your publication

    Get into contact with other companies and business that you scouted to support your magazine and allow them to be on their shelves. Send notes, thank you cards, a sneak peek, anything to get them to be interested. 

6. Design it’s online presence

     Establish how people can interact with your magazine on an social media or online platform. 

7. Consider the cover carefully

    Make sure your cover is eye catching but still connects with the theme of the edition and magazine. It needs to tell a story we want to hear about. 

8. Don’t neglect the grid

     This allows for a clean look. The grid helps structure your pages and proportions. 

9.  Develop your graphics

     Make sure your graphics match your story. This is important to keep the flow of the topic.

    How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?  View this link to see the CCR:  https://sway.office.com/sbZIZfgA8fzoQilq?ref=Link       This art gallery consists of artists who are of the minority group. The feature story gives light to a gallery that supports black, Hispanic, etc. artists by holding their art and allowing prospectors to also purchase from their site. This has been a struggle for minorities such as black people to get their art out into the world. Allowing them to place these pieces into a physical art gallery that does gains plenty of attraction, gives them exposure to clientele. Every third Saturday of the month, there is a an art walk. This is where plenty of up and coming artists, even veteran ones, submit their art to be shown in it. And he does not necessarily have to be paintings, is it gonna be sculptures and jewelry also. They accept everyone and close the entire street down. Civilians and guest are in

Photo Composition Info Pt.1

     Hello you guys! Long time, no see. So yes, I’ve been busy learning the new techniques that photographers use to take photos. I even learned Mise-en-scene (however I’ll explain that later). Yesterday, in class, I ended up doing a practice assignment identifying certain elements such as camera shots, angles, composition, and mise-en-scene that were in a video that was shown. It was a mistreating assignment. Although I didn’t not know what kind of answer my teacher was looking for, I explained how each kind of element was used to convey meaning in the scene. Hopefully I did well. Now onto the good stuff, some kinds of photo compositions would be framing, rule of thirds, depth of field, deep focus, shallow focus, and focus pull.  Framing      This is using elements in your screen to create a gram around what you’re trying to take a picture of on your device. So essentially, there’s two frames. Rule of Thirds       This is what photographers imagine when taking a photo (or they can jus
