A Working Schedule!

-
Now that we have decided on doing the travel magazine, we have to figure out the logistics of creating the magazine. The following is a rough schedule of what my group and I will attempt to follow. Because we haven’t done this type of process before, the schedule may be inaccurate, however if that is the case then we will update it as needed.
The schedule has been created for the next 3 weeks

Week 1 (Week of March 2, 2018):
- Introduction to blog
- Draft rough schedule
- Begin research and pick genre for magazine
- Try and create with a name for our magazine

WEEK 2 :
- Continue research
- Decide what each issue for each member will consist of
- Gain inspiration on magazine types and organization
- Put together drafted title page
- Decide what the double page spread should consist of
- Begin table of contents - research typical travel magazine conventions

WEEK 3:
- Complete table of contents
- Start double-page spread
- Finalize title page

Following this schedule should be very doable as long as we keep up with the blogs and the research.

I will be doing Miami, Gabriel will be doing Panama, and Jose will be doing Switzerland. Jose would have done Venice but he didn’t have enough properly photographed pictures for the magazine in Venice, so he decided to switch to Switzerland. Now that we have that down, let’s move on to our magazine production! I have very little time this week to actually start taking pictures for the magazine so I will be doing more basic things that will help me create my magazine once I do take the pictures. One of the most important things in any sort of picture is to set a mood or a “vibe”. This can be acheived by using certain color palettes since there is psychology behind seeing certain colors. The color palette I will like to focus on will involve cool hues. This is because cool hues convey a sense of

Finally I found some time to create drafts of both the title page and the table of contents. Here it is:      Right off the bat it's important to note that these are not my pictures. I will be incorporating my pictures to some structure that looks like this. All I have to do is actually go and take the pictures. When I do take the pictures I will critically analyze the weaknesses of my magazine thus far. Next up should be drafting a double page spread...
