A Little Research.

Bonjour!
So after doing some research i've gathered up some material to base my magazine off of. Magazines like Danza Europa, Playbill, and American Theatre, where they document beautiful photos of the performing arts while also providing information on theatre/dance trends and events.These magazines showcase exactly what I want to do with my magazine, I want to bring forth information while also provinding artistic and asthetic visuals that will really inspire others.
  
 My next step is to create a schedule: 
1. I will start thinking of my main article
2. From there, I will write it (obviously) and also think of photos for it 
3. Create a shooting schedule based on my participants
4. Put everything together 
When I return I shall have article ideas and a magazine layout. My scheduling will be more precised and the train will leave the station, so for now i'm blogging off. 
JT.

A magazine called Dance LifeStyle was the prime example of my magazine it had everything I already mentioned I want my magazine to contain,the interviews with a dancer, the must haves, and photography portfolios. For example:  So as I was skimming through the magazine I kept an eye open for an interesting table of content and each issue had one, the table of contents had a beautiful model in a scenic spot

Two Page Layout.

Image
YAY! I finished my two page layout and it definitely wasn't as difficult as the table of contents. I skimmed through several different layout templates on Canva and chose all the ones I admired. After that I plugged in my photos and kept only the pages that looked good and gave me something to work with. The two page layout is a part of a three page article that is an interview of the dancer in my photos. I included a right-sided third page that is the beginning of the article with the title and then two following pages that continue the article. The two following pages are the two page layout were I kept the background neat and simple, white, and kept the text colors green and black. Green for questions and quotes, while black was for answers. The only problem I had was that the two page layout when put side my side it doesn't look as symmetrical as I'd like it to, so I'm going to have to go back and rearrange some things in order for this magazine to be truly complete
