(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!

(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...
