bar code

Hey guys !! So, iv been choosing what barcode I want for my magazine, and I designed this one!! I like it because many magazines have it, and it looks very professional and I’ll place it at the bottom left of my magazine cover. Moreover, I haven’t been very focused with my magazine. I’m getting a little bit scared because I’m drifting from the idea I first had planned. My first plan was a health magazine in which I could talk about healthy lifestyles and certain individuals changing from eating meats to becoming vegetarian, and so on. I started to think more about that topic, and I thought, well, I can interview certain people based on their change and put it on my two page spread, then I thought it wasn’t going to look very professional, so I said, ok I’ll just to a very basic summary on people’s life changed with no interviews, however I’m scared I won’t have enough things to talk about to fill   up the whole 2 pages. I already have my front cover set which is why I’m not...

Stuck

     Hey guys!!! I haven’t been doing too good with my two page spread. Iv been having difficulties with what to write about and I feel like I’m falling behind. I like some ideas I have but I don’t find any good ways to express them. I did research on different magazine brands, but the two page spread isn’t  how I want it to be.        Moreover, I researched on health magazines and what type of things they talk about in the two page spread, but for some reason I’m trying to do something completely different with what I talk about. I know what path I’m trying to take, I’m going to talk about how people’s lives have changed after this huge wave of organic industries have come to the modern world, but also why it’s so expensive. I will work hard to try to overcome this bump on the road and will stay in touch with you guys for my next blog posts, xoxo!

magazine 2 page spread layouts

Hey media friends! I have been working very hard on my research for my two page spread, since its the only thing I really have left to do, other than take my pictures. I have thought about doing my two page spread with a couple of pictures, and then writting about the recipes.  I like this first one because it has a pretty header, I like the font of the words. I feel like if I put a title in big pretty font, it will grab the buyers attention. I like how simple it looks, but since my magazine is winter themed, it going to have red in it, but i can make it redish and then white and light grey, making it more simple and not too much. The second two page spread is also very cool. That one isnt as simple as the first one. It has more reds and blues in contrast to the first one that has grey and white mostly. The second one I can take into thought also because it has a pretty font and heading, and the colors I think can attract the buyer as well. It has multiple pictures and sections,...

Blank

      Hey guys!! So I thought I had everything planned out perfectly, but then I just became blank. I took time to research how 2 page spreads work, but honestly I still don’t know what to write about. My friend Danielle is doing research on organic food stores, so that limits me from writing about that. I still am going to write about how organic foods has changed peoples lifestyles and how the prices of regular food has decreased because of this organic healthy style. I want to talk about how people are spending more money on buying foods and products that are organic, or vegan.         The most trouble im having creating this magazine is on my two page spread, just because i have so many ideas, I dont know which one to pick. I also have to start taking pictures next week, so i can finalize my cover photo. I havent decided if i want a snowman hot chocolate, or a fruit christmas tree yet, but at least im down to 2 now instead of 4 ideas! My sister wi...

          Hey guys! I had a long discussion today with the studens in my media class, and they gave me great ideas on what to do my two page spread on. Since my magazine is a health magazine, but its based on winter season, they told me to do a couple recipes on healthy winter snacks. They made me open up my mind and i started to think, everyone is into "healthy" now a days. Organic, Gluten free, and no sugar added, are multiple things that many individuals look for now. So i decided that I can also talk about how thats changed within the years, and how many people have changed their life style, and how they feel better now that they dont eat processed foods, and fast-foods.            I want my two page spread to be inspiring and make people change their mindset. Another idea i have is talking about vegeterian and vegan recipes, since thats in style now too.  So here are a couple healthy snacks that vegans and vegeterians can...

decorating the front page of my magazine

Hello guys! So, this is kinda the idea i am getting at! No, this is not my picture sadly, because its amazing, but im going towards that kind of look. I did change the title, and thats how its ending up. I like that font and that size, i think it fits well with the magazine. I dont know if im leaving the letters white because i dont know what my picture is going to be yet. I have some ideas, since my magazine is in winter, I want it to be light colors, like light blue, and white. I found a really cool picture online that gave me a great idea. So i think this is a super cute idea, and i really think it will attract the reader. I love how happy the picture is and how its basically all about winter. Since our magazine is healthy, I want to do this but change it up a little bit. I can make a healthy hot dark chocolate, with almond milk etc, gluten free pretzels, etc. I have so many ideas in my head that i have to stop and write them all down in order, because i feel like im being sup...
