 Men's Health 
*Title- Like "Oxygen", the magazine title "Men's Health is covered by Arnold Schwarzenegger's head. The text along the sides is bold and fills a wide portion of the cover.
*Cover- The viewer is supposed to see the widely known and influential bodybuilder and competitor- Arnold Schwarzenegger, which would attract people interested in fitness of any age and psycque due to his timelessness. The picture of him was when he was taken in 1977, so the cover is grey but that works well due to the other colors and text colors being grey, white, and red. This color scheme complements the cover page and adds to its attractiveness to the potential buyer.
*Page Layout-The first four pages show page sized pictured of products like watches, cars, and men's clothes, which confirms the audience is men. The magazine is also celebrating it's 30th anniversary in this issue, which is shown on pages 5 and 6, there's a page ad for timberland, on the next page there's the editor's note, and then the next pages show page-ads for cars and watches. The ads to this point show a close up of the product with minimal text other than the product name. The first article starts on page 11. It shows pictures of a workout to do and question and answer comments. The next page shows an ad and next page shows a one page article. The next pages show this format of article, ad, or article ad, ad, article, up to page 19, which features a 6 page article.

Mid Term Magazine Submission Cover Production : I chose the title:  Muscle Magazine  to show readers that this magazine is about muscle, fitness, and health. The target audience this magazine is trying to interest is the average to intermediate gym-goer, and by having a simple name like  Muscle Magazine,  it best attracts that audience. I wanted the title, "Muscle Magazine" the be slightly covered by the person in the picture's head. I learned that this required Photoshop to do, which I had no experience in. Luckily, Aaron, a friend that sat near me, taught me how to make the picture slightly cover the title and then reinsert the picture into the magazine. He also taught me how to format the picture so it sat vertically, instead of horizontally, and I finished up by making that picture fit into the border. I had one universal font for the whole cover page, Haettenschweiler, because I felt this font invites more people to read the magazine over any

Magazine Scouting Locations for Photo shoots

Locations: La Fitness Bee ridge: This location was too crowded to film at. The gym is always filled with people using the necessary equipment that we needed, and I didn't think it would be professional to have lots of people in the background of the pictures. La Fitness Southgate: After scouting this location I realized it was too open to do the shoot, I would have to walk around a lot and I needed somewhere that had more sense the 'gym' feeling. *Both La Fitness' were too bright for good pictures GrindFit Tamiami Trail: This location was perfect because it is a local gym that had the 'laid back' gym feel and it was empty during our whole shoot. The shots came out great because the lighting wasn't as bright, which complimented the flash photography
