Layout Pt.1

Hello!

 As I stated in my last blog, I will be working on designing the layout of the magazine. I have already started looking at travel magazines to get an idea of what I wanted to do. Here is what I have been loving so far and why!



 These magazines are very minimalistic which many people are loving especially the target audience I will be focusing on. Although I do like these magazines, they not your usual travel magazine which is okay but I wouldn't like to stray so far away. 


Compared to the magazines above, these magazines have more life to them. The colors are vibrant which makes the magazine more appealing to the eye, especially for a travel magazine. The ultimate goal is for the cover to be so aesthetically pleasing it makes the reader want to see what's inside.

 Hopefully, my magazine will be the perfect fit between the two!

 Yours Truly,

So here is my schedule: March 21   - Post a blog        -  Take pictures for cover 23   - Post a blog        - Take pictures for table of contents & spread 26   - Post a blog        - Layout front cover 28   - Post a blog        - Layout table of contents 30   - Post a blog        - Layout spread April 02   - Post a blog        - Work on headlines and subheadlines 04   - Post a blog        - Work on table of contents copy 06   - Post a blog'        - Work on spread copy 09   - Post a blog        - Work on final details 11   - Post a blog       - Work on CCR 14   - Post final magazine and CCR I will hop

Layout Update!

Hello! I forgot to inform you what I will be using to create this magazine. The two most common options to create a magazines were Canva and Joomag. I tested both websites to see what suited me the most and I felt more comfortable with. I wanted something that was going to help me create the vision I had.  I have been using  Canva since I was a sophomore in high sch0ol so you can say I am an experienced user. I enjoy that it is user-friendly  with many virtues like free icons but it can be limiting as you can't be as creative with it as   possible . Our teacher, Mrs. Marchetti, has given us the opportunity to use  JooMag . A website that many  students have used in the past but as I started to play with tools and figure out how to use it, I realized it is not  as user-friendly. So I decided I will be using Canva instead. Yours Truly,       bsasza

Research on Topics

H ello! As I said in my last blog, I am starting to research on my top five topics I would like my magazine to be about. The ones chosen are topics of magazines that I find myself reaching for the most. If you don't remember the top five topics I have relisted them down below.  1. Entertainment 2. Travel 3. Beauty 4. Lifestyle 5. Interior Design I have to be realistic when it comes to choosing a topic. This is important because if I am unable to get the necessary materials in order for me to create a magazine that other people would like to see, I won't be able to create something that I am proud of.  I will be conducting a poll in my school by asking friend and classmates what they would like to see and what they are interested in. If you would like to share your opinion feel free to by leaving a comment below. Yours Truly,        bsasza
