Ready, Set, Go!

-
And off we go with this new project! My group and I have decided on doing a magazine rather than a video for this foundation portfolio project. I am working with Gabriel Menoyo and Jose Carranque. We decided on a magazine simply because we thought it would be able to suit all of our needs better. If we we filming a video it would be more difficult to meet up as a group every weekend due to our schedules.

Also, photography is more of the style of media my group and I are able to more effectively produce. Not only that, but writing is one of my stronger points (stronger than filming), and by doing the magazine I not only show creativity and photography skills, but I also demonstrate my ability to write for purpose.

In the end, a well made magazine can capture the eye of people (even if those people have never seen that magazine name) with a good photo on the cover. But not everyone is going to watch or see a film introduction made by someone not known very well.

We have also planned thus far that the magazine issues we each create should ideally reflect the same idea and the same purpose. If any of that deviates from ideal, it means someone is doing something wrong and there would hopefully be time to fix the mistake.

Basically, that’s all for now! We just need to begin brainstorming genres of magazines. Obviously, we will be more inclined to choosing a magazine that is more photography oriented, since my group and I can execute that task effectively. Hopefully everything goes smoothly and a consensus on a genre quickly comes.

I changed it because it deviates from normal magazine conventions, and it simply looked more childish. Besides that, I basically just added my article and did a couple of finishing touches. The final product is basically the same as what I have posted for the table of contents and cover page. The next two posts will contain my final product and CCR.

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...
