(66) Truth is, the game was rigged from the start...Creative Critical Reflection #4


--Dawn of the final day--
Welcome to my final EPIC blog guys! Wooo-wooo, no need to be sad. Just as Spring comes after Winter, you may take comfort in knowing the end of something is the beginning of another. Anyways today I'll be answering the final question for my creative critical reflection, so let's begin!

How did you integrate technologies - software, hardware and online - in this project?

I used technology almost completely to make this project possible, apart from layouts I designed in person. I used just about every tool in my arsenal to get this project done, from various software technologies to basic hardware. I wouldn't have been able to complete this project without the use of technology that allowed me to communicate my ideas, create my ideas, share them, and learn the crucial information necessary to complete this project.

I made constant use of software as this project was heavily involved in design. I used tools like Canva to put together designs and to handle some slight edits like color changes and filters, that's how I put together my magazine components and blog covers. I've also used a site called photoscissors.com that helped me in removing image backgrounds for design purposes. 

As for hardware, I constantly used my phone and computer. My phone was used to take all the pictures used in my magazine, that would then be sent to my computer. Now my computer was used to access the software necessary for all my photo editing, magazine design, and blog creation. As such this magazine production wouldn't be possible without my computer, or at least it wouldn't have been easy.

I've also used a plethora of online programs for this project. Canva was used for practically all my magazine and blog cover designs. Blogger was used to compose and host my blogs so that my magazine and everything else I've done can be accessible for everyone. I've also made use of Prezi and Animaker to produce engaging presentations for answering these questions.

(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!

(18) Editing, numero dos

  Oh you're still here? Huh...hmm oh yeah, almost forgot... realmente tengo que trabajar otra vez... I mean WELCOME BACK GUYS!!! LETS GET STARTED ON ANOTHER BLOG, OH YEAH!!  Alright enough with that, lets get down to business, today I'm going to be covering the second half of the content I promised you on editing, so lets list these terms firstly. These terms are jump cut, crosscutting, parallel editing, cutaway, and insert, not as many as before, but still just as important, lets begin... Jump Cut: Jump cut is when two sequential shots of the same subject are taken from camera positions that vary only slightly if at all. This type of edit gives the effect of jumping forwards in time. It is a manipulation of temporal space using the duration of a single shot and fracturing the duration to move the audience ahead. This kind of cut abruptly communicates the passing of time.​ For example in the image above you see the kid looking forward, but then immediately in the next shot he ...

  Hey guys welcome to another blog, so after the photoshoots I conducted an interview with Tyrone for our feature story, he gave my great answers to my questions.
