(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!!

(50) The real deal, really?! Feature Story Interview

  Hey guys welcome to another blog, so after the photoshoots I conducted an interview with Tyrone for our feature story, he gave my great answers to my questions. The questions I had for him were more specific as they were meant for him and I gave him some about men's fashion since he is a man and happens to also like fashion in some sense. So let's get into the responses- -Start- Q 1. Alright Tyrone what's good bro, so what do you know about men's fashion? A. I actually know a lot, I like to post my drip on social media, and if I'm being honest I wanna try to be a model some time in the future Q 2.  That's cool, so what do you do on a more day to day basis? A. Man I'm hustling out here, I sell clothes online, work at an airport, and I exercise just about every other day, bring them girls back home you know, haha Q 3.

(9) Let's talk...Mise-en-scene

Hey today we're gonna learn about...MISE-EN-SCENE!! But what is Mise-en-scene? Simply put Mise-en-scene is literally "placing on stage" in French; all the elements that appear on camera and their arrangement. So everything from the makeup that goes into a scene to how the scene is setup. Alrighty so let me get into each of the features for you to give you a better understanding of everything that Mise-en-scene encompasses. Production design: Production designers are the people responsible for the visual concepts of a film, such as television or theater production. They work closely with the director and producer while they design a style for the elements incorporated in a film. Location: The location of a film sets the mood and supports the action. For example, in a abandoned McDonalds the location would give you suspicion and a horror mood. Studio: A film studio is either a entertainment company or a motion picture company. These companies have their own privately studio...

(57) He will try- Double Page Spread Draft

  Welcome, welcome, WELCOME!! Oh boy do I got a surprise for you! As promised I have made a draft for my double page spread, not one, not two, but three. There were just so many ideas in my head that I had to show you some of them, here check it out! This was the first version, I thought it was pretty good, but I felt there were some flaws or design choices that could've made it better, so I did a little redesign just to see if it would look better, now let's see if it did- This is the second version looks awesome to me, I felt it addressed some of the problems with the first, and the color might fit in better with our overall magazine, but let's try these fixes on the black and white version- Honestly I think I like this version a lot more, it's just so unique and makes for an awesome double page spread, some more refinements will need to be done, but we have a good idea for our final version now. Also you may have noticed the feature story in the double page spread is...
