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...
WOW! This was frustrating. I finished my table of contents for now, I'm truly not sure how I feel about it. I look at it and I'm like "well that's nice, but it could be better."

Let me just say choosing the order of the photos was the hardest thing I've had to do yet. I strategically placed all three of them in different spots each time altering the...
Last Wednesday I helped my best friend with the filming of her project, she also is taking AICE Media Studies. Although she was very disorganized and stressed me out to the max, she helped get the ball rolling with my photography ideas. So yesterday, I did my photo shoot and it went really well. I made a plan with my friend Izzy and we gathered up all the materials we needed. I had my camera bag packed, with extra memory cards, the charger, a mini camera stand, a full size camera stand, and water bottles. I was like a soccer mom prepared to film each time her kid touched the ball. I was beyond excited, I got her house we discussed costumes, locations, and hair/makeup. I wanted everything to be top-notch. At first we settled on Wynwood Walls as our location but as I got to thinking, it's pretty generic and there's probably some sort of festival in Miami.
