Decisions, Decisions, DECISIONS !

      So I finally came to the realization that this magazine is something serious. Having the full control of the every single aspect of the magazine is something I never thought about how magazine companies come up with that. We’ve seen the movies, the interviews, but do we really understand the steps and measures they take? A class like this turkey help and since I leave red about shots, angles, movements, composition, mis-en-scene, amount other, I will be able to use these when creating my magazine. So using what the results of the survey were I will be doing:


To begin, I will be working with a partner on this magazine. 


Naming my magazine: 

      Euphorics (received 48.7% of the votes) which would be fully capitalized (76.9% vote in favor of) 

     I do like this name and sizing a lot so I’m sticking to this result until I chooser otherwise


Demographics would be: 

    17 years old to 20 years old (69.2% majority vote) who, a little more than half, have equal amounts of being a risk taker and a laid back person (53.8%)


    The top four colors the magazine would consist of:

    Blue (64.1%), green (43.6%), yellow (41%), and white (38.5%).


For the cover photo:

    The model will be a female model at a destination (56.4%). 

    However I am debating on switching this to the destination only which received the second most votes (43.6%) . I will see when I take my photos. 

     The destination would either be at the beach or in the city. This is beach both of those revived the same amount of votes (30.8%).

      I have nothing against the other options so I’m fine with doing one of these destination as my cover photo. 


Kind of shot:

    It will be a long shot (received 48.7% of the vote). 

    I do agree with this because I want to get the whole destination in the photo so I’m not going to steer away form this result. 


Content: 

     Majority chose that interviews from a traveler would be better than a business owner at a destination spot (66.7%). 

     I believe I may do both however I’m not sure. I may use one for a subline and the other for a headline. 

     There will also be a formal tone that will be used (71.8)

     I don’t 100% agree with this because if we’re speaking to 17-20 year olds, I want to be able to use language they will relate to. 

      The magazine will contain more images than text which is shocking because it was a close call with have a little over 50 percent, 51.3%, of the vote. I will discuss this further with my partner.

History of a Magazine

Image
      Another aspect that gives away how a magazine is formatted/designed would be its history. History plays a big part into what the magazine will be about.      For example, Ebony magazine was created by a black man, John H. Johnson to be in honor of black, African Americans. It was the first magazine during its time to showcase black people on its pages. This was historical.  https://www.britannica.com/topic/Ebony-American-magazine https://aaregistry.org/story/ebony-magazine-goes-on-sale/     Another example of a magazines history would be vogue. It was founded by Arthur Baldwin Turnure. It was made to be a weekly journal for high class people. It covered topics such as traditions of the high class, etiquette, media, and social scene. This made a huge impact on American fashion and lifestyle.  https://www.britannica.com/topic/Vogue-American-magazine https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vogue.com/article/vogue-125-1892-2017-compare-and-co...

Reflection on Syllabus

      Hello, I’m back again! I want to explain how I feel about this course so you and I can understand my mindset better.        I’m honestly very confused on a couple of the aspects, which makes me very nervous. As seen in the photo below, this is a great representation of how my mind is as of right now. Aspects such as the format of the posts are confusing me. I’m aware we need a task and an intro, however, that seems to be the bare minimum so I’m going to search if there’s more things to add to each one.       Picking my idea for my magazine also makes me anxious. I don’t think it’s hard to pick an idea but following through is what’s iffy. I want to do an idea that I’m passionate about so I put my best foot forward and my product comes out to be something I’m extremely proud of. I don’t want the idea to fall apart in the middle and I have to start over. At the end of the day, I will still chose to but I’d rather not.   ...
