Decision Decided.


    Hola! So i've come to my final conclusion. I will be creating a performing arts magazine. TA-DA!  I already have found a few dancers who are willing to let me photograph them, and I'm sure my old studio will be pleased to hear that i've taken interest in documenting their shows. I'm really excited to begin this process, so i'd like to first start out with a outline of the main things I need to get done first for the magazine.

Performing Arts Magazine:
-RESEARCH
-Need a Title
-Photographs of dancers (Emily, Izzy, Kellie, and Amy)
-Photographs of shows (Fame and Throughly Modern Millie)
-Article Topic

After these are done or at least established, I can put all the pieces together. Creating a layout and a color scheme with all the little knitt-picky details. I want this magazine's purpose to be an entertaining and informative guide for all who are interested in the fine arts. This magazine will hopefully also be creative and intriguing enough to those who don't normally partake in the performing arts industry as well. So i'm going to pour all my creativity into this project and hopefully come out with an awesome product! My next step is to research other magazines of this category and the genre itself. My next blog with contain some of my research that I will use as preparation for this project. Blogging off.
JT.

   So as I said in by past "Table of Contents" blog, I wasn't really satisfied with the table of contents I originally came up with. The colors were too bright and juvenile while the cover of the magazine was vibrant with natural colors and more mature. I made another table of contents that fit what I was looking for, but its still wasn't doing it for me. So as I took the time to think it over I decided to start from scratch for the third time.A friend of mine guided me to a magazine website called Issuu  where I found an assortment of dance magazine examples. 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 spo...

   Now that I don't have to worry about the photos anymore, because I have plenty, I can focus on the writing aspect. I've never considered being a writer or a journalist, actually to be honest I've never been good at it. When I was younger I think my mom and mom-mom (grandma) really wanted me to be one when they read a short story I wrote that was the exact synopsis of the 1977 film Pete's Dragon.  But I've always opposed writing, claiming it hurt my hand to much and drained my creativity. When it comes down to it though, it's because I'm just truly no good at it. I write poorly, my essays in every class have only ever been average. Only once in seventh grade did I ever write an essay that exceeded even my own expectations. It was for my science class, Mrs.Blumberg, we had to write a fictional story for a type of spider including actual facts and information. I created a dramatic story about the black widow spider that ate all her children and killed every ...
