(11) Preliminary Task: Magazine Cover

Welcome back!! I'm starting my preliminary tasks and making a cover page for my magazine, I took some inspirations from real life magazines as well as ones from games I play. All the work is original, the background was developed by me using javascript, html, and css, the pictures were also taken and edited by me, the bar codes were generated by me, and the text was of course written and styled by me, I have a couple versions I wanna show you and I'll discuss the one I choose and discuss it in more detail in the next vlog, but for now just check them out!!

Thanks for reading!!

For example in the establishing shot you can tell it's within a school. Another angle similar to the establishing shot is the master shot This shot is meant to focus not as much on the location, but more on all the subjects in the scene, smaller shots can be interwoven into the master shot.
