(19) Ah ship here we go again...Magazine History

Hey what's good guys I'm back and I just wanted to throw another banger your way. Ight bruh so here we go, also I'm bouta go hard on these mag blogs so get ready gang. Nah just kidding guys you know I'd never talk that way haha. Anyways lets talk about the history of magazines so you can get a rudimentary understanding of them.

But before we begin I wanted to share with you the resource from which I derived my knowledge,

https://www.magazines.com/history-of-magazines

I share this information with you because today I will simply give you a synopsis of what I have understood from this source, but if you wish you may look into it more for your own learning and self-development. Moving on, let us begin...

Simply put magazines have been around since the 1600's, but didn't start becoming very popular until about the late 1800's.

Since then magazines have developed into a wide range of categories, covering just about everything from sports, science, women's fashion, etc. Magazines served as a way to inspire, educate, and entertain audiences across the globe

Magazines in the 1900's even started developing into weekly publications and niche categories to target specific demographics, such as National Geographic Magazine which was dedicated to science, geology, and world event. The 1923 initially founded magazine Time was the first weekly publication magazine. The 1954 initially founded Sports Illustrated magazine had a targeted demographic of wealthy Americans as it focused on activities mainly accessible to them such as boating and playing polo.

Well guys that's it, hoped you enjoyed the history lesson, very simplified, but really that's all you need to know. Pretty cool stuff guys.

Thanks for Reading!!

(49) Your a star baby!! Model 2 Photoshoot

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!

(64) It's a long story...Creative Critical Reflection #2

--Dawn of the first day-- Hey guys welcome back to another blog, today we are going to be answering another question for my creative critical reflection. How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text? My magazine product targets men of course as it's a men's fashion magazine and it's made for men of all ages and backgrounds. I've made the magazine eye catching with flashy colors and intriguing cover lines. I've done this because it appeals to viewers easier and makes it easier to retain their attention while conveying my points across. The color scheme is mostly red and blue and I chose this specifically since red is a more energetic color and it calls for more attention and blue makes a good contrast to that which helps add emphasis in that design context. Since this is a magazine for all ages I did make use of some informalities and jokes such as calling the magazine the "Drip Edition" and adding cover...

(47) Don't hate me because I'm- The Models

Hey guys welcome back, I've got some models lined up, about 2, I asked some friends and they provided me some quality pictures they thought would be a good fit, so let's see them, also I'll be giving them some pseudonyms Here is our first model, we'll refer to him as Tyrone, he is pretty well-built and I think he'd fit in great with our magazine, since we're doing Men's Fashion, we'll ask him for some more photos later. I can confidently say he'll be in the cover page and the double-page spread! Now let's look at our second model- Ok, let me think of a funny pseudonym, alright we'll call him Demarcus, if your wondering where I got these names from, well it was from a list of the most beloved African American names. Anyways Demarcus is our second model, I think we could get better photos of him, this is just one he sent me. As for him I've decided to put he should probably go in the table of contents. Alright I hope you guys enjoyed this i...
