Bad News!

 Hello everyone, on today's blog, I am going to explain how my whole magazine plan went downhill.

As you all know (if you have read my previous blogs), I planned on including a feature of a talented photographer such as Kai Hornung and one of his many masterpieces. The feature that we actually got permission to use from himself was the one I planned on using as my cover page and the spotlight of the images I planned on including on my magazine but... 

Yesterday, I talked about it with my teacher/supervisor and I was told that, according to the many Cambridge rules, I was not able to do it because any content included in my magazine had to be '100 % original'.


Here is the proof of it and I must say that this is my own mistake, I had the idea that since my magazine was based on the idea of sharing people's images, there would be no problem with having the features but... I guess it is not.

As for it, I have to now rebuild my front image's idea and style. But we are alright, I know we are going to get out of these black dots.

Hope you all have a nice day.

  The Birth of a Photographer   “Photography is the encapsulation of the beauty within moments, feelings, or emotions… It is just like painting with light” That is the definition of the word Photography for the blooming entrepreneur Joel del Olmo. At his age of 17, he has already found his passion and guidance towards his future as his enjoyment lays on the ambition to become a professional, recognized photographer. Though his passion spurred almost instantaneously after getting introduced into this pixeled world, his mind created long-term projects, goals to accomplish, and tasks to fulfill. He understood that doing nothing would take him nowhere and so he began his journey. Step by step. It was just another day like any other in 2018 when del Olmo stopped to look at his surroundings. To realize the details that only got glimpses and were never something to be mesmerized from. What he saw was; Beauty. Stories. Emotions… Art. “It was just there, waiting for me to see it and I was

Magazine's Demographics

                          In this research on Magazine Demographic it was found that 78% of readers are Male and 22% of the readers are Females. This information will be valuable with developing my magazine. Although this information is from 2008 so this could change. MarketingCharts’ own  US Media Audience Demographics  study demonstrates a similar trend. During Spring 2017, 56.1% of adults surveyed said they had read a print edition of a magazine in the previous week, down from 61.7% saying so a couple of years earlier. The report reveals strong discrepancies in print magazine readership by age, with adults ages 65 and older about twice as likely as those ages 18-24 to report having read a print magazine in the past week (73% and 36%, respectively). The print magazine audience tends to be skewing older over time, too. The report’s 2017 data showed that 44.7% of US monthly magazine readers were aged 55 and older, compared to 41.2% in 2015. By comparison, just 29.9% of online adults wh

Magazines' Research

Hi, this is me, (again) Jonathan on the other side of your screen. Today, I am going to go over a little research on some of the different genres of magazines there is. How many magazines do you know? Usually, many will mention the most common ones, while, others will be believing they’re giving a magazine name when it could be a newspaper brand name instead. Me, for instance, did not know any names of any sort of magazine! Being able to analyze my magazine “Popular Science” helps me understand what a magazine really is. It let me explore the similarities and differences one magazine brand could have throughout the years and how they capture people's attention which the little details, pictures, and information they add to it. This project was the reason for the development of my 3 main topics: fashion, food, and/or photography. The reason for it is because I was able to view different genres from all the different groups, sadly, I was not able to see more!  Moreover, why those thr
