(27) As if I'd lie to you, here...Magazine Layout 2!!

 


You know...now that I think back on it, I've been trolling everyone in my life at least once since I was in kindergarten. Well I suppose I'll just have to take solace in the quote by Aristotle, "No great mind ever existed without a touch of madness."

Anyways that's enough lore about me, let's move to the meat of the matter, TODAY we are going to be reviewing the last 3 important terms I wanted to discuss in Magazine Content. So this will be a short blog for the most part, I do hope you enjoy, but to recap the 3 remaining terms are: illustrations, ads, and columns. Let us begin!


Illustrations:

Illustrations are visual representations that are used to enhance the content of a magazine. They can take many forms, such as drawings, photographs, or graphics, and are often used to help readers better understand complex concepts or to add visual interest to a piece of text. 

In magazines, illustrations are often used to break up large blocks of text and make the content more engaging and accessible. They can also be used to highlight important points or to add a touch of humor or personality to the magazine. 

Overall, illustrations are a valuable tool for magazine editors and designers, as they help to make the content more engaging and appealing to readers.


Ads:

Ads are a common feature of magazine content, as they are a primary source of revenue for magazines. Ads can take many forms, such as full-page spreads, half-page ads, or small banner ads. They often feature images and text that are designed to grab the reader's attention and promote a product or service. Ads are typically placed throughout the magazine, either interspersed among the articles or grouped together in a dedicated section.

Some readers may find ads to be intrusive or annoying, especially if they are not relevant to their interests. However, ads also serve an important function by providing information about products and services that readers may be interested in. In this way, ads can help to connect readers with companies and businesses that offer products or services that are relevant to their needs. 

Overall, ads are an integral part of magazine content, as they help to support the magazine and provide readers with valuable information.

Columns:

Columns are a common feature in magazine content. They are regular features that are written by the same person and cover a specific topic or theme. Columns are typically shorter than articles and are often more personal or opinion-based in nature. They are often used to provide readers with a unique perspective on a particular topic, or to offer advice or insights on a particular subject. 

Columns can be a valuable addition to a magazine, as they can help to add personality and diversity to the content. They can also provide readers with regular content that they can look forward to in each issue of the magazine. However, columns can also be seen as less objective or less informative than articles, as they are often based on the personal experiences or opinions of the writer. 

Overall, columns can be a valuable addition to magazine content, but they should be used in conjunction with other types of content to provide a balanced and informative experience for readers.

ANDDD once agai-...wait I'm getting deja vu, ugh, I hate that feeling, anyways we've reached the end, as always I make these so we can learn together, I hope my work has been useful to you, as always,

(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...
