(61) Unprecedented- FINAL Double Page Spread

Good morning guys! Welcome to another blog, as promised I have for you my finalized double page spread! This one took a bit of time to get a design that I liked, but I finally got one nailed, here check it out!

Now keep in mind this is two pages your viewing, so if your trying to read the smaller text it would be a little difficult, but anyways this took a while to get right- obviously working with a long feature story was a little tricky, but I managed to get a visually appeasing way of putting it in there. This was easily one of the more complex designs, but it looks great nonetheless, and the text from a magazine standpoint is normal, it's not too small or too large. I've also color coded a lot of parts to make the text pop more, thus the reason for the images being black and white, so they don't distract the reader from the text.

Since people base what they read off of size, contrast, location, and numbers among other things I found this was the best way to design my double page spread efficiently, and the result is simply excellent, clearly one of my best finalized designs!

Well I hope you all enjoyed this blog and my finalized double page spread. For my next blog I'll be showing the finished magazine as one! This will truly help you understand the genius of my design and the continuity I have between them, more or less. Sorry my ego went a little wild there, I just love this design!

I acquired this photo on an expedition to the hood a while ago, I figured it would BE GREAT FOR THE BACKGROUND, after all a classmate suggested I be a bit more REALISTIC-

Until next time, 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

Hey there friends...what? Your not my friend? That can be solved *gives you half eaten donut*, yeah we chill now. ANYWAYS, to all my dear readers, AHEM, yeah I mean you!! 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. But before I begin let me give you a short list of useful resources to understand the concept of house styles before I simplify it to oblivion for you; https://www.thoughtco.com/house-style-editing-1690842 https://www.theeword.co.uk/blog/creating-a-house-style-for-your-content-why-how/ https://www.encyclopedia.com/humanities/encyclopedias-alm
