Face the challenge


 Sunday, March 4,2018


Hey everyone! My name is Valeria Luna and I am excited to lead you into this adventure... The day has finally come, my first blog post! I have a million thoughts going through my head trying to decide which topic to choose. Personally, I have many interests, and I feel like one topic isn't enough to elaborate on. This year has gone by so fast.. I remember studying my notes on angles shots and composition for other projects, and the day has finally come to do our Portfolio! I never thought creating a magazine would be as difficult as it is.


 The reason I decided to do a magazine was because I felt like I could turn a topic I love into something so much more interesting so other people can get a sense of what I feel about it. Using words, pictures, and other tools, you can make a topic that is not so interesting to some, much more interesting.

 

As the thoughts fluttered in my head, the first topic that came to my mind was food. Everyone eats, everyone enjoys it, its a win win. As I began looking into this topic, I realized that when you pick up a magazine and see food on the front,  it makes you want to eat it, but not many people will actually spend their time cooking it. In Bon Appétit magazine has bright colors and different shots and angles of the food.I am not a big fan of cooking, and with the multiple activities I have throughout the day, I barely have time to do it. That is when I realized that a cooking magazine would not be for me.


Then it came to me, fitness. Ever since I was little I played sports. This was a topic which I could go into depth on and allow many more people to be aware of their body and how to take care of it. Many fitness magazines will have a cover photo be very simple. It is normally a woman/man looking fit,sexy, and healthy. This will attract people because they will want to look like them. Many times in fitness magazines, food will be integrated in it as well. Fitness magazine Women's Health is one I always used to read and they would have headlines that would bring you in with words such as "quick, fast, lose 5 pounds in a week!"

March 8, 2018 Planning time! Hello readers! I stated in my last blog that I was going to have a more clear idea as to how I was going to design my layout and my cover page as well...   I decided that I will be asking my friend Cassidy who is a "gym addict" and is constantly going to the gym and actually even has her own fitness account on Instagram. I feel like she is the perfect fit due to her experience in the fitness world. I also thought maybe she would do a specific gym pose, which conveys her fit body and will demonstrate the purpose of my magazine.   I also decided that there will be multiple fonts and colors all throughout the cover page to emphasis the sections with a bigger font. That will represent something more important the magazine has to offer. The magazine bellow is also an example as to how I would want my model to look like.

March 7, 2018 Fitness here I come! Hello there! As I already mentioned, I plan on creating a fitness magazine. Because I chose to do this, I conducted a profound amount of research which allowed me to conclude the following: they usually emphasize on health and beauty, exercise, and nutrition. They also incorporate many tutorials or incentives to promote that magazine. After analyzing all of this information I decided that I need to create a cover page that will generate an astounding amount of attention. This will not only be visually appealing to the eye of the reader, but will be a form of promotion and will attract a greater amount of costumers. All in all, I want a magazine that has bold colors such as red to create that "pop" sense to my magazine. Although I'm still confused as to who I want the protagonist of my cover image to me! I'm not sure if I want to utilize myself or someone else.  After all this research I was only able to determine

Hitting a dead end

 April 8th,2018 Hello my fellow bloggers! I just got back from work and it seems that every time I am at work I get the best ideas for my two page spread.. so originally I had thought about a sort of checkered theme for my two page spread, and now its more of a simple idea. I have a feeling it would look so much better if I did more of a simple theme. I was thinking one picture per page. The reason I saw this was because I feel like when every thing is more simple, people take it more serious. If you see a page spread with less on it and just a couple of words, it draws you in more. I promise you guys I will have it done by the next time I do my blog. You guys will see how good all those ideas fluttering in my head are going to come out. Ahhh! I am way too excited this cannot be real. Im also very excited for summer lolz! Goodnight everyone <3
