Photo Ideas for Magazine

In this blog I'm going to be looking at photos that I can use as inspiration for my feature magazine. ( I feel as though this is a nice shot for a cover photo because the close up angle helps define the visual purpose and action.)  *Credit to canva.com for all the pictures feature* These pictures helped me grasp an idea of different types of potential angles and styles I can use for the photos I feature in my magazine.

Survey

                          How do you gather information for a magazine? What do people like about it? How do you know if your target audience will even consider looking at your magazine? What better way than to create a survey. This Survey will create a list of ideas and ways to gain more knowledge for the design of the magazine. Whether it be the color palette, or the games they want to  see. I have created a Virtual Reality/Mobile gaming survey to be able to understand what my audience truly wants. https://forms.gle/GLdBvBu7F7aenXx  <======== This is the survey that I created to gather information.

Masthead

  Me and my partner Abeldar worked together to come up with a masthead that was proper and attractive enough to attract a crowd based on just the masthead. this is the masthead that we came up with based on our survey results and what we thought would be the best for a gaming issue magazine covering different topics and forms of gaming.  Our masthead and magazine title will be called GameVerse with sharp edged fonts that will provide uniqueness to our title and give a sense of video gaming like no other, GameVerse is to talk about multiple gaming issues including Arcade and Virtual Reality/Mobile gaming. Although that this is our final masthead title the color of the word Game will be different to our liking.

Lead How easy is it to flick the switch in your house, sometimes you’re tired and don’t want to get out of bed, sometimes you try being lazy and extend your foot or your leg to flick/press it, or sometimes you just get up and do it. Amaiyah is about to flip the switch on her educational journey and flip the switch on her life Nut Graph Amaiyah’s life has always been regular to her, nothing really special ever happened until the day it was for her to change schools.

Burglars are only to blame themselves for being caught. A study by a lieutenant has shown that more than 50 percent of burglars are in jail due to their own foolishness.  Lt. James Robbins of your city's police department has made a study of everyone convicted of robbery in your city during the last year. He has written up a 19-page report.

Feature Article Writing 2

              As we continue to practice more writing for my feature article, we move on to the second example that is given for this.  America’s Worst Nightmare becomes true, what is free is no longer free. The rising economy is killing everyone’s financial needs & now everything comes at a price. Many freebies no longer are free. Because of rising expenses and other problems, American business establishments are eliminating many services and other amenities once offered their customers free of charge. Many of the services that gasoline stations used to offer for free to attract customers have gone the way of the dinosaurs—they have become extinct. Gasoline stations no longer wash windshields, and many no longer even provide the squeegee, the windshield cleaner or the towels so customers can do it themselves. One station owner said he quit offering the service because his customers reportedly were using too many cleaning towels, which co...
