(39) Magazine Review - Double Page Spread


AS ALWAYS GUYS, welcome back, take a seat, let's get straight into it, so for this blog I've picked out some juicy examples that I think you guys will really like, so let's get into the reviews!


Ooo, this is really nice, usually we save the best for last, but wow I think this might be the best one already. The images go hard guys, like it's really cool, and the contrast between black and white always looks good, as humans we are attracted by contrast, so this makes great use of that. I love the overlap of the heading onto both pages, it really helps to make them feel connected and it does so in a effective way, I think this double page spread will be my main inspiration, but let's go over some others!

This one is also good, I wouldn't say it's better than the first, it hardly makes use of contrast and the image is rather dull, not to mention that page is too, it could definitely be better if they made more use of empty space and general design principles, moving on


This is one is good and makes decent use of contrast, the way they did their image is unique and inspiring, they do a great job of connecting the two pages to make it look as one. The fonts are nice and stylish too, I find that all capitalized fonts catch way more attention than their lower cased counterparts and that's for good reason of course, I like this double page spread as much as the first one, but I think the color scheme on the first one is more ideal, so we'll stick to that one as our main source of inspiration. Anyways now that we have a more profound understanding of how our cover, table of contents, and double page spread should look I think it would be wise to make a production calendar in order to have a clear timeline of how we will produce this magazine, so I'll get that ready for you to see.

Until then, 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!

(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 ...

(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.
