(60) Not in a million years- FINAL Table of Contents

 

Well I sure am happy to see you! Welcome back guys today I have for you my finalized table of contents, I went through a lot redesigning, but ultimately I found this to be my best and most effective design at a table of content. Check it out, this is some of my best work right here!


This finalized version of my table of contents fixes all the problems with the original, this one is simpler and much more effective in serving it's purpose as a table of content while still holding the style of my men's fashion magazine. Also if your wondering why am I so good at designing these, well just know I have a decent amount of web design experience and knowledge that gives me overall strong design skills! At least compared to most people, anyways I hope you enjoyed this blog, if you don't think this is an improvement over the original then your crazy!

Anyways for my next blog I'll be presenting you with my finalized double page spread, this time with the feature story included, this one will definitely be interesting to make! So get excited because this is going to be another great design!

EDIT- After being advised that the above table of contents was unrealistic here is the new one!
HOPE YOU LOVE IT!

Here are the original unedited background images I used, again acquired on a hood expedition-


Until then, thanks for reading!

(21) Is it really a good morning?... House Styles PART 2!!!

  I think I'm losing it, I've looked everywhere, but I just can't find it...OH THERE YOU ARE!! Welcome...back, I wasn't looking for you, no...I was looking for my...uhm MY GLASSES!!..."where are MY glasses?" ahhh gotcha, anyways lets get back to discussing house styles, well we already discussed it, so lets look at some examples, Yes right away I think you guys can see the general theme and use of house styles in this magazine. It's pretty easy to spot. For one we can typically see an image of an individual in the cover, the magazine logo, in this case being XXL, and the use of large headings typically at the bottom left with a barcode at the bottom right. Lets go over some more analyzed and high quality examples, These are some very nicely analyzed examples and they easily searchable on the internet so credit to the google search "house style in magazine". Anyways we can see that the Vogue magazine is clearly very streamlined in it's product

(5) Check this out! More camera angles, yes!

I knew you'd want some more  😉 and I've got you covered!! Today I wanted to demonstrate to you some more camera angles and shots!! The first camera angle is the establishing shot This shot is used to establish the location and environment of a scene and can also set the mood while giving the audience visual clues of the day, time, and general situation. For example in the establishing shot you can tell it's within a school. Another angle similar to the establishing shot is the master shot This shot is meant to focus not as much on the location, but more on all the subjects in the scene, smaller shots can be interwoven into the master shot. Moving on,  I have the close-up up shot This shot is taken very close to the subject and has the subject fill most of the frame, the purpose is to emphasize the subject or a small feature of theirs. For example in the photo it appears like he's thinking and you can deduce this by his facial expressions. Any closer and this would

I wanted to discuss with you what is house styles with regards to magazines. I care for you all and would hate to waste your time so I'm going to make this short and sweet and divide this topic into two separate blogs, I will use one blog for to help you understand the subject of house styles in magazines and another blog to demonstrate this in terms of actual magazines so you can see house styles in how it is applied in terms of an industry setting i.e. official magazines.
