(41) Wh-what do you mean!? REALLY?! Feature Lead Practice 1

Hey guys we back it again, today we are going to be practicing making a feature lead for our double page spread in our magazine. So basically I'm going to be telling little stories for practice, I suppose it will be pretty entertaining, obviously the lead is meant to catch attention.

So naturally I'm going to make mine crazy and literally insane, it will be a narrative.

Lets start.

Story:

Some fat dude robbed McDonald's for cheeseburgers

Lead:

It was a dark stormy day at McDonald's, John the cashier was being overworked and underpaid as usual when suddenly a customer came through the drive thru, it was 3 am. John was naturally pissed off as he had been doing a double shift, when he finished taking the customer's order he told him come to the window. The night was deep and fog was rolling in from the humidity in the air, it really sucked for John. The customer suddenly when at the window asked John if he could add something to his order. John replied with an agitated tone, WE DONT ADD AT THE WINDOW. The customer told John, you don't even know what I wanted yet. John said fine, what do you want? Just give me your name for the order, I forgot to ask last time. The customer then said, sure my name is Rob-ROBBING YOU! He then pulled out a gun and said, I think I'll have everything in the register, NOW. John quickly complied, and just like that he had been robbed...

Alright guys welp I hope you enjoyed that lead, if it kept you at the edge of your seat and wanting to read more, then I've done my job wonderfully, I'll practice some more later and share them with you guys, until then, later...

Thanks for reading!

(63) But wait...there's more!! Creative Critical Reflection #1

The end is nigh. Welcome back guys, well now that we've finished our magazine, let's reflect on this journey! So this is one of four critical reflections that I will be doing! Within each of these I will be answering and reflecting on a question about our magazine. So for today, How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? Well to answer the first part of this question, let me put it simply, my magazine consists of all the basic conventions of a magazine. It includes a masthead, a main image, cover lines, a date line, a barcode, and a price. Throughout the production process of this magazine I was inspired by many different magazines like Men's Journal and Playboy Magazine. In the cover page, the first thing you notice is my masthead. The masthead is the title of a magazine located at the top of the cover page. I used font hierarchy to determine what I wanted the viewer to see first. I called the magazine Menl...

(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...
