Blog# 14- Table of Contents – detailed explanation

 I wanted the page for my table of contents to mach my cover page color wise at least, so I went through canva in order to search for a format i could base my table of contents on. For my table of Contents i wanted to do something that isn't to crazy or simple like just listing the section of my magazine from top to bottom and eventually I found one and went on from there.

I Choose red for the background because I wanted my table of contents to be similar to my cover page colorwise and I felt like choosing some random color like yellow or green would throw the whole thing off (I had to redo my table of contents because i couldn't base my format off of the ones on canva. So the colors are different then they previously were). The numbers in my page were used to show the page number for each of the sections. The font size for the page numbers in my table of contents are big because I wanted to show emphasis of the different section similar to how in a textbook the number of the chapter is larger than the other words or numbers. The pictures were added there so that the table of contents didn't look plain or have a lot of empty space.

Blog #12- Magazine Cover – detailed explanation

My magazine cover is a picture of my cousin. I used this photo because at first I thought i could use a photo of myself but later found out that I had to be the one to take the picture so since he likes to dress and look nice i asked him if i could take any pictures of him and he agreed to it. When it first came to making the magazine I already took photos of him before because he would ask me to take pictures and record videos of him so he can post it on social media. Since i already had photos of him i thought to myself "why don't i just use these picture as my cover and make a fashion magazine before I start to take more photos" so yeah this is how i decided to use the image. 
Everything else like the coloring was used caused i felt like it went well with the picture.
To be honest i didn't really have any difficult when it came to taking any pictures. He would just pose and do other things and I just took the photos without any problems
The cover page informational overview of a publication and everyone involved in its creation which is just me and also the way a publication chooses to publish the magazine

Blogpost #8 First thoughts on house style

 

A magazines house style is some of the basic conventions that a magazine follows with all of it's covers. This can include the masthead, Font, colors, picture proportions/placements, location of the bar code and date etc.
Each magazine having a house style isn't a thing because a house style is a key part of my magazine and is very important both the writer and the reader, this is because it can keep the continuity throughout the magazine. 
This can help the reader not to get confused on the genre or the brand of the magazine they're reading if it is all kept in the same house style. House style will include font, color scheme and general layout of the magazine.
A house style is a standard that magazine publishers or designers follow. Most companies use house styles to promote their brand.
The house style gives a very diverse look for all different magazine types because of genre and nearly all in the magazine market use this.
House styles has made me understand that each magazine is made for a different purpose for the audience to read and that there are diverse magazine that may focus on a persons specific preference. 

Blog post #7 composition

Leading Lines

This was a picture taken for my long shot but i used it here because it could be used as a long shot. Your eyes move when looking at a photo. Try to manipulate how a person sees your subject, by using leading lines to draw the viewer's attention through your photo.

Perspective

I took this picture in my living room and its used to capture the essence of what you experience when viewing a scene, it helps to add an element to your photo to convey this perspective. The photo is suppose to give the reader an understanding of my point of view.

Balance

These pictures were taken outside my neighborhood and is used to achieve good balance in your photographs requires the correct combination of colors, shapes, and areas of light and dark that complement one another.

Angle of View

Some of the most interesting photographs are those taken from a unique vantage point. This picture was taken to experiment and try different perspectives. Look for angles that are interesting and demonstrate the mood and inspiration you're trying to capture.

Framing

I used foreground elements to frame my photo's subject. Architectural elements work well (windows, doorways, arches, and so on). The important point here is the subject which is the shoe.

Blog post #6: Camera shots

 

LONG SHOT

This picture was taken in my neighborhood on my phone. It was a pretty average day with clear skies so there was no rain. The purpose of this photo is typically used to show where I am, and can also be referred to as an establishing shot. For example, at a place, like a carnival, on top of a mountain or a living room. A long shot is also used to show large groups of people, like a group shot of everyone involved in a program or a group demonstrating for a certain cause. Finally, a long shot is used to show all of something, such as a large statue, building or house.

Over the Shoulder shot 

This shot requires the camera operator to shoot the camera over a person’s

shoulder to view another person or show what that person is doing. The shot establishes where they are in relation to what they are working on.

Extreme Close Up

This is a picture of my friend, Ricardo and i asked him if i can take a picture of him since he has a class similar to this in his school and hes used to this. In an Extreme close up the subject is magnified beyond what the human eye would usually see. Focuses the audiences' attention on a specific detail. Used for a dramatic effect. This is very similar to the close up shot, but is even closer, which enables the audience to see the real fear of the character in a horror, something which will continue to entice them. It could also focus on some scary paranormal features of activities which can also inject some fear into the audience.

Tilted Shot

A tilted shot is a camera shot in which the camera angle is slanted to one side. This can be used for a very dramatic effect and helps movement, motion, portray unease, disorientation, or desperate action, madness, etc.

Worm's Eye View

This picture was taking in my living room with my phone. It's suppose to represent a worms eye view and show a stuffed animal being looked at from the perspective of a worm. A Worm's eye view is suppose to show what it is to be looking up at an object or looking at an object from the perspective of a worm. Worm's eye view can help make your subject matter appear imposing and even imply a sense of fear. 

Bird's eye view

This is a picture of a pepper taken in my kitchen using my phone. The bird's eye view gives an overall shot of a scene. The purpose of the picture was taken to make my subject matter appear smaller, more squat, and insignificant. Bird's eye view gives you an opportunity to show a lot of visual information about your subject. Originally it was dark so you asked me to make it lighter.

Blog post #4-5: Camera angles

 

LOW-ANGLE VIEW 

This shot involves the camera looking up towards the talent, giving the audience the impression that the talent is in a position of power.

HIGH-ANGLE VIEW

A high-angle view involves the camera being placed higher than eye-level, looking down at the talent. This angle is used to establish the talent in a less powerful position.

CLOSE-UP SHOT

A close-up shot is used to isolate what is important in the shot, such as faces. It also is used to enlarge something to give the audience a better look,

such as a close-up of an individual cooking, or a close-up of a hand to demonstrate a manicure.
