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. The article itself is a Q and A interview with questions about Izzy and her life in dance. I kept the font of the text simple, Monserrat Light, and the quotes bolder with Trocchi. The photos I chose all had similar settings, kept the color scheme continuing and displayed Izzy as a beautiful artistic dancer. Below are pages I've just mentioned:

   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 ...
