(53) Don't get too cocky now- Double Page Spread Layout

I know you all call me Pablo, but call me Picasso today, alright so I've finished the layout drawing for my final double page spread, so you know the drill by now, so let's just check it out!

Now for a double page spread we obviously want to make it appear as one thought expressed through 2 pages, so I feel that this design accomplishes that, multiple images of model 1 are also used to support the feature story and filler articles and this was planned as the feature story and article will be based mostly on model 1's interview, or Tyrone as we call him. The title will probably be called Men's Fashion, and the article headline will be specific as it will be in relation towards the feature story. I plan to use many expressive colors here and fill most empty space.

I've also decided to put the page numbers in the middle and strategically put each image in their spot as it makes it simpler and easier for readers to read and focus on the information we are expressing through our double page spread. To put it simply it's giving an equal amount of attention towards the images and writing which makes it very balanced and visually pleasing.

However we must remember that in order to put a feature story, well we actually need a feature story, so for the next blog that's exactly what we'll be doing. So, I'll be making a draft for our feature story based on Tyrone's interview and then I'll eventually review and modify it for our final feature story.

But 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...
