04/07/2018 - Why I've Been "Slacking"

     To be honest, I haven't been working on my actual magazine that much. I have the right ideas and I have everything set up perfectly, I'm just having a little bit of trouble trying to put everything together into one whole PERFECT magazine.

     This is why I decided to take a little break from this project. Hopefully ideas will come to my mind with time. I've also been very busy with school. The quarter just started and I've already had 2 tests. Im trying to get everything under control while i set this magazine on pause for a couple of days.

     I know I haven't showed you guys my images of my actual magazine but I have my reasons. I want to make you guys wait till the last day and blow your minds when you can see the complete masterpiece I will present to you next week.

     Right now I'm in a dilemma of which picture to use for the cover. I want it show the fitness part of the magazine but I would also like it to have something related to healthy meals and healthy lifestyles.

     Anyways guys, sorry for the short post but I should decided to share these little things with everyone so you can atlas know how my life is and what has been going on in it lately. We got one more week for me to reveal this final project that I know you guys are anxious to see. Tune in next week for the BIG reveal. As of right now this is all I have for you guys. Ill see you next week with some very big news. Peace out.

04/05/2018 - Class Discussion

     Alright so today in class we had a group discussion for one hour and a half and all we did was look at each others magazines and blogs and talk about what to say what not to say and we basically just gave each other tips on how to make our magazines better. This group discussion also allowed me to get inspired by the other projects my classmates are working on. They gave me ideas for the title of the magazine, the table of contents etc. For the table of contents I told them how I wanted put only the more informative and important pages on it so people could go read and get straight to the point. They really liked the idea and some of them in fact were doing the same thing that I suggested. I still wasn't fully convinced with my magazine name, "Fitness Frenzy," because i wasn't sure it I liked it or if it gave out the right information. My classmates helped me find the real meaning behind the name and gave me ideas for other magazine names but in the meantime, Fitness Frenzy is winning. They made me realize that it's the perfect name and if people know what frenzy means then they know exactly the intensity and impact that this magazine will have on them if they actually read it an follow what it says.
     Now, they helped me a lot with what types of changes I could make to my magazine, but I also want to share in what ways i got to help them. I've been into film and movies and even creating my own personal films. This classmate of mine showed me his movie clip for his project and I helped him and gave him ideas of what types of sound effects to use and what types of transitions o use from clip to clip on certain occasions. I also helped another one of my classmates come up with the perfect title and cover article for their magazine. Her project was a magazine about make-up and well, even though I'm a make-up expert I still got creative enough to give her the perfect name for her magazine and a great cover article for it. Alright that's all that I have for you guys today. i thought it would be nice for me to have shared this moment with all you. Till next time!

04/02/2018 - Table Of Contents

That's right, we're back once again. This week I've been working on how to make my magazine perfect by adding and removing a couple of things which I will be talking about in this weeks blogs. Let's start of with my new addition. The table of contents. One of the most important things a magazine needs in order for people to be able to locate certain articles in the magazine. There are 5 major keys to having a table of contents.

• Make a good impression. Make your document have a more professional look to give the readers a better first impression.

• Arrange your material. A TOC helps you create and edit a document in a more organized way without leaving out any type of important and useful information.

• Manage reader expectations. The TOC can be used by the author to set the tone and the for the document. It also gives the readers an idea of what will presented in this document.

• Make the document easier to discuss. Imagine reading a document that has no page numbers. Even worse, no table of contents. How are you going to have a discussion on something when you have no way to refer back to the information you're talking about. Always include a table of contents in your document.

• Complement your training outline. The TOC acts as an executive summary or cheat sheet for the content of the document.

I want my magazine to be very well organized. I want to make it easy for the people who read it to be able to locate everything inside the magazine. I want them to feel comfortable while reading it. Organization is key. If you just have a magazine with articles on every page not knowing where anything is located is it even enjoyable to read. You have to put yourself in the other person's shoes. Make it something that you go and say WOW. Something that not only everyone can enjoy but you can enjoy with them as well.
