Creation Of The Layout For The Spread!

The Key Points Needed For The Layout

 Next, I started to deal with the elements of design for the magazine. Elements such as staying within the external margins, placing objects between three or more columns, dominant photos, captions, eyeline, white space and copy. We also developed the concept of secondary coverage presented in the image below. All of these contribute to the organization of the magazines content for it to turn out correctly. We were given multiple assignments to apply this criteria to testing our understanding. 

Example: 


Fonts:

We then went more in depth with fonts. We had to understand how different types of fonts add to the magazine. We were assigned an assignment where we chose 5 types of secondary coverage and explained why the fonts we chose add and goes along with the coverage. We explained how adding boldness, shadows, colors and even adjusting the position of the texts can add to the secondary coverage.

Example: 



Headlines:

 After completing this we moved onto layouts and headlines. We learned that the headline is a very important part of the magazine since its one of the main components. The headline consists of verbal/visual connections with the image reflecting off of the copy which catches the readers attention. 

Example of a verbal/visual connection I came up with:

How Am I Preparing for My Creative Critical Reflection?

How Am I Planning to Prepare for My Critical Reflection?  Now my class is focusing on one of the last parts needed for component one which is the critical reflection. My teacher explained to the class that this will be the last blog post included in our blog and will consist of answering four main questions but in a unique creative way of either making it by video or text. I decided to make mine by video since I am experienced with being in front of a camera and it will give me an opportunity to add in a little of my personality. As for preparation I am working on writing out my responses and forming ideas that I could use and say while making the critical reflection video. I then started to brainstorm on how I would make this video creative and not just a boring reflection of me just answering questions. While brainstorming I came up with the idea to film my video inside of my kitchen while preparing to cook a meal or taking the camera with ...

How Did the Lessons on Depth of Field and Photography Techniques Prepare Me to Take Pictures for My Magazine?

  What was the impact from the lessons on depth of field on the preparation for my magazine? The lesson my teacher gave on the topics of depth of field and photography techniques helped me in many ways to get ready for the photos needed in my magazine. First, we learned what depth of field meant, depth of field is the distance between the nearest and furthest objects that allows for the image to be focused on camera. Also, when taking photos depth plays an important role in pictures by making two-dimensional subjects into three- dimensional causing for the photo to be more attractive towards the viewer. Then next in the lesson of depth of field the class was taught that the larger the number (such as f/8) is on the camera to focus it will bring all the foreground and background objects in focus. When going to lower numbers (such as f/1.4) this brings focus on the foreground objects blurring the background out. This helped me with my magazine since...

The Process of Creating My Creative Critical Reflection

Image
 Developing My Critical Reflection So first before doing any rough drafts of the reflection I started with deciding if I would either do a video or a presentation with a voice over. After trial and error of trying to record a video, I realized that making a slideshow and having commentary on it would be much more comfortable with me and the best option. SO, after understanding the format in which I would have my critical reflection I started gathering ideas to form the answers to the four main questions. These questions were provided by Cambridge and would be the main portion of the reflection. Below are some examples on the drafts and the development of the slide show that I would voice over as my creative critical reflection.  Examples of the draft:  Examples of the second draft:  Examples of creating the slideshow for my CCR:
