Final Cover Page

-

 Hi everyone! Today, after running some in-class surveys for choosing which of my cover pages to use. I finally got it. But first, I must show you all the ones I had created before showing the final product.

So, first, this is how I had my cover page as shown before. 


After showing this cover page to my teacher, I had some opinions from her and it made me rethink my cover page looks hence it did not appear to be so magazine-like. And so, this is what I came up with... this.


I did not really like it because it was still lacking something like the Outdoor's Photography house style which has its masthead in plain view with the feature stories on the side. I also wanted it to have a simple style yet elegant like the one that the Outdoor Photography magazine has. This one did not have it and so, I started to produce my final draft that did then, turned in into my final product. 





And so, I do hereby... present to you ladies and gentlemen, my final cover page.




The reason I chose this as my final cover page is that, as mentioned before, I wanted for it to have its masthead in plain view along with its feature articles on the side since I find it to be simple, elegant, and minimalistic which covers the style I wanted for my magazine. On top of that, I also took some inspiration of its simplicity aspects from the magazine Outdoor Photography.

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...

Hello everyone, on today's blog, I am pleased to showcase you all my Compulsory Question 1   Compulsory Question 1 by Jonathan Alvarez on Prezi Next Transcript  Hello, My name is Jonathan Alvarez, my center number is US154.

– Using Composition –

Using Composition Hi everybody!!! I am glad to have you around one more time. Today, we are going to explore some rules of composition with their meanings, and a quick review of their relevance within the picture. So let's begin with this picture I took quite a while ago. In the following picture, we have a great example showcasing the usage of the  Rule of Thirds.  T he R ule   of T hirds   "is a type of composition in which an image is divided evenly into  thirds , both horizontally and vertically, and the subject of the image is placed at the intersection of those dividing lines, or along one of the lines itself." ( Rule of Thirds Definition - What is Rule of Thirds by SLR Lounge )  This is done so that the image's subjects could be 'seamlessly' placed at a natural position for the human eye.  In this image, a feeling of nostalgia, solitude, and future hardships can be perceived but it is the contrasting colors of the yellow flower that give meaning...
