FINAL POST

For my final post before I turn in my final product and CCR, I just wanted to reflect through the 7 weeks I had to complete my project. This project helped me with learning new technological techniques for editing and even creating an entire magazine. I had fun through the process but also had stress mixed in with it. Taking the photos and applying them onto the magazine, finding a font that would fit the overall theme, and most importantly the layout for the magazine. It wasn't an easy process and time and dedication was put into my work. Having to post weekly made me more interactive with my project and helped me constantly work on my magazine. What I liked overall was I was able to create my OWN magazine and be able to work with ideas I know well and it helped me be more engaged through the process. I can say that this was one of the top projects I've done throughout high school and it has been a great journey. I have finished all my final touches and can say it was a GRIND, now I'm ready to publish my work !

We GRINDING

Now that our final week for working for this project is coming up and then we have to worry about the CCR video, I've managed to complete my cover page. here it is 

I was able to create a PNG image but cutting out and cropping the background of the image I had with my main athlete. It was a long process that needed precision to be able to have the cut out fit with no flaws. Another choice I made was to have the color scheme match the jersey color of the athlete. I felt like this was a solid choice because it has a set tone to it and matches throughout the entire magazine. One last thing i had in mind was add an extra page for advertisement. I'm looking for using athletic merchandise from high schools and advertise them to fit the theme of my magazine. 

spring break

A quick update: So this past week I've been on spring break. I haven't been checking in recently because iv'e been traveling and not having much time on my hands. I got back into working on my project and tweaking some specs. I'm no where near done and need to get on a grind. I'm still looking forward to my final product and the hard work that has been put into this project.
Following this I realized I need to start working on my CCR and get that going to wrap everything up. We're almost to the end of this process and I'm excited to see the final outcome

Lets GRIND

New week and our fifth week of working on our project. For me it has really been about planning it all out these past weeks, but now is the time we begin the masterpiece. I'm really excited to start putting the pieces together and seeing my final outcome. I've been arranging pictures that I will be using within my magazine. Since i'm focusing on high school sports, my main athlete for my cover page will be Varsity Team captain for my High school boys basketball team. I'm actually really good friends with him, so this gives me an opportunity  to interview him and get more insight from a highly ranked player that already has colleges looking at him. I feel like having him as a source brings more credibility and more interaction for my magazine.
Now is when everything gets put into one piece and I am excited for my final product, hope you guys will enjoy the rest of the ride !

Finally !

So after looking through most of the website I found the font that I believe would fit my magazine theme the best. For titles of stories I was looking at the font "Knucklehead" by Mcraft Studio. 

I chose this font because I felt like it fit the most for titles in the magazine. It has the bold feel to it just as it did for the masthead. I'd only be using this font for titles of the magazine.

Another thing I wanted to do was have a different font for the table of contents, but after thinking it over I feel like having the same font throughout the magazine would have a better look to it rather than having a full mix of different fonts. Now from here I will hopefully begin to apply everything into the magazine and get started!
