(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!

(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...
