Evaluation of Sample Pictures

Evaluation of Sample Pictures:

After taking the sample pictures for both of my topics I came to notice many things. As far as the topics are concerned they are both very interesting topics and will make for great magazine covers. The photography process of these topics was however very different than what I expected. 

Fitness pictures:

The fitness pictures that I took revolved around portraying health and fitness. This was done by trying to incorporate good physiques with good backgrounds that demonstrate the use of the gym. However, I decided to take a very different approach to the pictures I was taking. Instead of taking the pictures in the typical professional style, I wanted to test if a mirror/selfie type of picture would work well and appeal to younger audiences more. I did not really like the results of such a technique, as I feel it will take away the feeling of being a "Magazine". Taking the pictures was, however, not as hard as I had originally believed them to be. Despite these pictures involving other individuals, I thought it would be difficult to have them pose or to get a picture that looked decent. That was not the case and I actually enjoyed taking these pictures. The pictures were also not as Time-consuming as I had expected them to be. 

Automobile Pictures:

For the automobile pictures, I believe that the possibilities for creativity are very great. I really enjoyed taking these pictures even though they were just sample pictures in order to get an idea. They are easy to take and I can angle picture however I want, and I would have the ability to make any type of modification over the car. There are also many products that I can use to make the car look even better and increase its aesthetic appearance. It would, however, be a bit expensive to do certain modifications. 

Personal Favorite Pictures:



These Two pictures were my favorite from its respective genre. I believe that these would make for a very interesting and successful magazine cover.

What Is Next?

I will be thinking about which genre I will like to stick to, and I will have a decision by my next post.

Introduction

G reetings, my name is Juan and this is my very first blog post of many more to come! What is my Goal? The reason I created this blog is in order to log my procedures in creating my magazine for AICE Media Studies. I will be posting these blogs on a regular basis in order to accurately explain how I intend to reach my end product (the magazine cover). My blogs will cover things, such as rough drafts, ideas, possible pictures, and essentially my entire thought process in coming up with the magazine. How will this be done? Since this is AICE Media Studies, I will be going about this blog in a very specific manner with specific tasks in order to abide by the rubric. The magazine will consist of a front-page, contents, and a two-page spread. There is also the possibility that I will be working in a group of up to 4 people. If I am to work in a group, each member of the team will be assigned a specific portion or job, all of which will be discussed in more depth later on.

Codes & Conventions of a Magazine

The next step in properly understanding how a magazine works is to learn the conventions and codes that make it up. This is something that I must learn in order to successfully create my magazine. The information that I obtained through research led me to this: Masthead:  When it comes to publishing, this term refers to the name of the magazine. This is a very important component of the magazine as it is one of the first things read and it also gives off the genre of the magazine. Sell line:  This is the statement made by the magazine that will try to convince someone to buy it. This is because it usually states any extra gains that a person will obtain from buying the magazine such as competitions or prizes. Cover lines:  These essentially serve as teasers as to what information is inside for the readers. They run down the sides of the magazine and is another technique to gain the attention of potential buyers. Main image/central image:  Just as the name implies, t

Genre of Magazines Before I can go about creating my magazine, I believe it is important that I understand what a magazine is, starting with the genres of magazines. I need to get my thoughts flowing as to what genre of magazine I am looking for. I conducted some research in order to outline the different genres, and here is what I found: Food Magazines: This type of magazine revolves around the advertising of food. It can range from foods that can be made at home, how to cook, home recipes, and even foods that can be found around the world. Fashion Magazines: This genre of magazine revolves around clothing and other forms of fashion. Fashion can be displayed through the use of people or individual objects. It is usually what people use to find out what is trending in clothing, but many magazines regarding fashion can also display very extravagant and unorthodox dresses. Automotive Magazines: This particular genre of magazine revolves around cars and e
