(14) Preliminary Task: Table of Contents Explanation

 


Hey there, didn't notice you, just kidding! Lets discuss my table of contents page, here check it out next to my magazine cover,

 


If there is one thing they got, I can tell you it's that they are flashy!! Obviously the tech and computer field is one based on code and high tech equipment, unfortunately I don't have 10 million dollars for a quantum computer or some similarly impressive technology that I can take an original photo of.
What I do have however is intermediate design skills. Here is my inspiration for the table of contents,
There are many layouts, but I really enjoyed the simplicity and effectiveness of this layout. Everything in my table of contents is original, you can see the table of contents made with the simple use of text and basic fonts that use size hierarchy to make for a smooth and visually pleasing ux. The theme of this magazine is around computer science, technology, and coding, so there are some programming references here, such as html opening (<>) and closing tags (</>) as well as a javascript object (example{ };) I also added some triangles for a minimalistic but appealing way to add some filler to the page, I added no pictures here, because the main focus of the table of contents is to find where you wanna go, you don't see dictionary books with pictures after all. 

The magazine interior content page is drastically different from the front cover and that is intentional as the front cover is meant to attract the viewer, while the content page and for that matter the entirety of the interior magazine is meant to be read for information, so naturally if everything was colored green it would make it more difficult to read, while blue, purple, and black are easier colors to view and read. I wrote the table of contents to cover 12 pages of the magazine and to detail the location of each subheading for an effective table of contents. All text was written by me and font stylings were provided by Canva.

Thanks for Reading!!

  WE CHILLING!? HUH, just kidding, welcome back guys, I think it's time for another banger of a photoshoot, this time it will be of our second model whom we will refer to as Demarcus. Let's not waste any more time, check out these pictures we did- Our photo shoots were done over a couple of days and he sent me a good bit of photos too to help save time, obviously this is about Men's Fashion so getting good photos takes a little longer, but it was clearly worth it, also on a side note I've decided we will be interviewing Tyrone for our actual feature story, so look forward to that! I hope you enjoyed our second model's photoshoot. Until next time, thanks for reading!

(18) Editing, numero dos

  Oh you're still here? Huh...hmm oh yeah, almost forgot... realmente tengo que trabajar otra vez... I mean WELCOME BACK GUYS!!! LETS GET STARTED ON ANOTHER BLOG, OH YEAH!!  Alright enough with that, lets get down to business, today I'm going to be covering the second half of the content I promised you on editing, so lets list these terms firstly. These terms are jump cut, crosscutting, parallel editing, cutaway, and insert, not as many as before, but still just as important, lets begin... Jump Cut: Jump cut is when two sequential shots of the same subject are taken from camera positions that vary only slightly if at all. This type of edit gives the effect of jumping forwards in time. It is a manipulation of temporal space using the duration of a single shot and fracturing the duration to move the audience ahead. This kind of cut abruptly communicates the passing of time.​ For example in the image above you see the kid looking forward, but then immediately in the next shot he ...
