 Hello everybody!!! Today, we are going to do something simple, yet somehow very important. Today, we are going to choose which font we might use for our magazine's project. So, let's begin.  First, what are the candidates we have?  As you can see, I've selected many fonts that could be used for my magazine.  It was hard to choose for my perfectionist attitude, But after a long debate between me, and... me? I have decided (or at least plan to) use the font Bodoni MT Condensed for my title since I think the joyfully, playfully and creative looks it's got would definitely match the conceptual idea of sharing pictures along with their creator's thoughts, tips, along with the visuals that they might be willing to share as if it were to be an interview. Furthermore, just as a side note, I am definitely considering Times New Roman as the candidate to be used for any of the prints that are to follow any paragraphs, etc. 

The Preliminaries Begin Hi everyone!!! Today, we are going to start practicing the process of creating our magazine... or at least try to. So, let's begin with our cover. This is the cover that I created and styled a couple of weeks ago and, to be honest, I do not really like it So, today, I will attempt to create a new cover based on this cover's style for the preliminary work that I will be working on in my following blog posts. But first, let me tell you about this cover's style and visuals. For the Style, I went for something simple, I wanted the title to stand the most hence my magazine will need recognition from any possible audience. The title is based on the idea that the pictures shown within the magazine are going to be something that represents someone's attributes, personality, and or even beliefs regardless of its style as I plan for this magazine to be a place of free-judgment. Its background is a picture of printed pictures that I attempted for it to conv...

 Hello everybody! Today, I am going to tell you a little bit of Peter Mckinnon and the reason for this is because he is one of my biggest inspirations when it comes to photography and it is, therefore, one of the reasons I am doing this photography magazine, so, let us start with the basics; Peter McKinnon  (born: October 28, 1985  [age 35] ) is a Canadian  YouTuber , photographer, filmmaker, and vlogger. He is most known for his filmmaking and photography tutorials mainly using Adobe Premiere Pro or Adobe Lightroom.  His 'biography';  Peter McKinnon was born on October 28, 1985, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He joined YouTube on February 15, 2010, and uploaded his first video, a vlog in which he visits the popular Kensington Market district of Toronto, on September 23, 2015. He has uploaded numerous short films and tutorials. He began his "Filmmaker Reacts!" series in 2019. So, why is this here?  The reason for this blog's content is to show the differ...

  Aperture Aperture is a not-for-profit foundation, it connects the photo community and its audiences with the most inspiring work, the sharpest ideas, and with each other—in print, in person, and online. Created in 1952 by photographers and writers as “common ground for the advancement of photography,” Aperture today is a multiplatform publisher and community, engaged with photography as a language of ideas and committed to the medium’s contributions to the urgent issues in society and contemporary culture. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the heart of our strategic thinking, and reflected in the selection of artists and writers that we publish, the engagement programs we present, and our ongoing work to diversify our board and staff. From their base in New York City, each year, they produce and present: four issues of  Aperture , the magazine of photography and ideas over a dozen new  photobooks  and books about photography, both by artists and about the med...

  The target audience for my magazine is around 18-60 years old, and my magazine does not apply to a particular gender. It applies to people from all over the world, but mostly, to people in first-world countries who have access to any modern cameras. The magazine applies to no income levels. These people are at least high school students or high school graduates, and there are many college graduates in the mix as well. Of course, my target audience must be interested in photography, which is what my magazine revolved around. So, for today, I will do a comparison between Digital Photo Magazine (DPM)' s target audience and my (future) magazine's target audience.   So, a magazine that has a similar target audience is  Digital Photo Magazine  ( DPM ). For one, both of our audiences are photographers, which is the main attribute that readers of  DPM  and  Technique  should possess.  Digital Photo Magazine  is aimed towards adults w...

Hi guys, for today's blog post, I am going to talk, very briefly, about the distribution of magazines. To keep it simple, I am going to do it on beauty magazines since they are the most known magazines. So... let's begin.   Distribution, m ost of the beauty/fashion magazines sold are through print subscription services. Although there are still millions of magazines sold through online purchases (downloading on a tablet) and non-subscription purchases (like buying a magazine in a grocery store), the leading circulation of the magazine is because of consumers receiving the magazine in the mail through a subscription. In fact, Harper’s Bazaar Magazine’s distribution in 2013 was 81. 2% because of paid and verified subscriptions (with 78.3% being in print format) and 16.8% from single-copy sales. I acquired this information from a really useful slideshow about genre and representations in fashion magazines. This presentation was so handy in providing me statistics about fashion ma...

 Who Would My Audience Be?  Hello people!! I am currently stressing out with these blog posts and the rest of my homework but... here we go. In today's blog, I will discuss who would my audience be? To begin with, what is an audience? And who should my audience be? An audience is a group of people who participate in a show or encounter a work of art, literature, theatre, music, video games, or academics in any medium. Such an audience can vary along with specific schemes that focus on different sections of public interests. The public interest I am aiming for is whoever possesses an interest in photography. Specifically, but not limited to... nature/landscape photography and anybody interested in having an interest in diving into the photographer's thoughts before and after taking their pictures along their tips and hacks. The reason for this is because nature/landscape photography is the type of picture I love to take (as you might have figured already from the photos I have ...
