COVER AND TOC

TWO-PAGE SPREAD

HOUSE STYLE

I chose Bernard MT Condensed as the font for my masthead. I chose red, white, and black as the colors because they are the most desired colors for readers. My magazine is balanced and symmetric.

COVERMastheadThe masthead is white to be consistent with the color scheme. I used different sized fonts for the capital letters to make my own twist on the font

Main CoverlineThis coverline is a different color than the others because it shows what the main article is in the magazine, as well as helps attract readers that are interested in this.

CoverlineI chose to place this coverline on the right side for design purposes as well as the fact that I had no room on the other side of the cover. It is white to match the other coverlines.

CoverlinesThese coverlines draw in the readers by offering relateable topics. I chose white as the color to match with the color scheme.

SkylineThis skyline offers the reader a glimpse of some bonus articles included in the article

TOC

Page numberI had to choose an odd number for the right side of my TOC so I chose 5. I wanted the TOC to be early in the magazine, but not too early.

MastheadI chose to keep the masthead all red because I was unable to figure out how to create a similar design in InDesign. Although, the color still looks great and matches the color scheme well

DatelineI chose to place the dateline on this side of the TOC because it balanced well with the volume and issue number. I chose April because it was the upcoming month at the time

TWO PAGE SPREAD

Pull QuoteThe pull quote I chose leads readers into the story, but doesn’t reveal too much

KickerThe kicker effectively describes what this article is about.

BylineThis is my name. I used a font that matched my style.

Headline The headline is a different font than any other used. Despite that change, I stuck to my style and used black as the color

Body copyI chose this wording as the body copy because it will make readers want to continue reading. I also gave it a different font.

Image captionThis provides a brief insight on the picture.

HOW DOES YOUR PRODUCT ENGAGE WITH AUDIENCES AND HOW WOULD IT BE DISTRIBUTED AS A REAL MEDIA TEXT?

DISTRIBUTION

Time Inc is my publishing company

The publisher should want to add my magazine because I will offer exceptional stories as well as provide an organized and appealing layout. The magazine will specifically be about sports cars, and higher end cars. In some cases, it may consist of average cars, but never low end automobiles.

What makes your magazine, different and stand-out. Why does the market need your magazine. The market needs my magazine because I will offer exceptional stories as well as provide an organized and appealing layout. The magazine will specifically be about sports cars, and higher end cars. In some cases, it may consist of average cars, but never low end automobiles.

Monthly magazines generally work 3 months in advance so I need to plan ahead when producing a magazine for print.

HOW DID YOUR PRODUCTION SKILLS DEVELOP THROUGHOUT THIS PROJECT?

My production skills developed throughout this project. I was able to utilize all the elements of Photoshop to create a realistic cover.

A key moment to my magazine was coming up with the name “SuperCharged” as my title. I feel that it made the image of the brand more masculine and shaped how I designed the cover and TOC.

HOW DID YOUR PRODUCTION SKILLS DEVELOP THROUGHOUT THIS PROJECT?

At the beginning of the year, I had some experience with Photoshop, but none with InDesign. I was very comfortable using Photoshop to create my covers and such, but when it came to InDesign I was hesitant.

My skills developed by using new fonts and unfamiliar ways that make the font appear different than before. This made my coverlines in my final draft appear different than the rough drafts.

HOW DID YOU INTEGRATE TECHNOLOGIES – SOFTWARE, HARDWARE AND ONLINE – IN THIS PROJECT? I used Photoshop and InDesign in this project. I used them to create my Cover, TOC, and Two-Page Spread.

I used a Dell Desktop Computer

I used the text box tool, free transform tool, and the shape tool most often in Photoshop

In InDesign I used the text box and shape tool most often

For my blog, I used edublogs.edu and for embedding my PowerPoint I used Slide Share
