CCR Draft 3

-
The production of the magazine required a skill level that was able to successfully utilize programs such as Microsoft publisher and photoshop. Luckily, publisher's functions were easy to use, and photoshop was done with the help of a classmate, Aaron.

Specifically, some functions from publisher like
guides for allignment
borders
text boxes
picture placeholder
text effect/fill/outlines
text justify button to make text proportional
These features were easy to use to make the magazine formatted in a professional method

I had help from a classmate, Aaron to use photoshop.
We made the words "Muscle Magazine" go underneath Jon's head for the cover page, and made it into a document which then I finished on publisher.

Through this project I gained accessibility and fluency in Publisher and experience in Photoshop.

Mid Term Submission

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

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
