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.

Table of Contents Changed.

   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 spot

Two Page Layout.

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
