(52) Your pretty good at this! Table of Contents Layout

Welcome back guys today I have for you the layout for the final table of contents, again this is so I can get an idea of how I want it, so like last time- I'll show you and then explain my thought process with you all-

Alrighty so this is a simple one, why you may ask- well because I think a table of contents should be simple since it's sole purpose is to guide you while still keeping the style of the magazine throughout. As such I've taken the liberty of putting 3 model images from my 2nd model, this will make effective use of empty space. Also I've decided on leaving some empty space where the actual table of contents is because space is classy, I mean just think about it, when the space around you is empty it adds more emphasis to you, so let's take advantage of that.

I've also structured the page based on where the reader is most likely to move their eyes and read so it makes it more efficient. Anyways that's about all for today, later I am going to do the last layout and that would be for the double page spread. I hope your excited this one will be interesting for sure.

Until then, 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...
