POSTING THE FINAL MAGAZINE VERSION                                                     04/08/2022 This is my final blog in which I will be posting anything regarding my magazine as the real final blog will simply include all of my Creative Critical Reflection responses. In this blog you shall just see the culmination of all of my hard work over the past couple months. In other words, I present to you all my final magazine cover, table of contents, and 2-page spread for my very own sports magazine called the Global Football Informer.  Cover: Table of Contents: 2-Page Spread: Conclusion: In total, it was quite a unique experience making this magazine and completing this project. For the most part, I really enjoyed this project and I hope you guys had a blast sharing this experience with me as well. Thank you so much and I will see you o...

FINAL 2-PAGE SPREAD WITH EDITS AND REVIEWS                                        03/25/2022 In this blog I will be concluding my work on my 2-page spread as a whole by publishing the final, complete version of it. Throughout the past couple blogs I have gone through my entire production process with you guys. Everything that I have done has led to this very moment where I will be finalizing my article. Here you will find all of the feedback I got from my classmates and from myself about my final mockup from blog #15. Afterwards I will choose to implement or ignore certain suggestions depending on how they turn out and of course I will once again be explaining my reasoning behind each and every decision. For instance, if a suggestion is bad I won't just go over it, instead I will try it out and show/explain why I personally believe that it is truly wrong, at least for my pa...

2-PAGE SPREAD MOCKUP ELABORATION                                                          03/10/2022 For blog #15 I will create and explain my final mockup for my 2-page, in this case, 4-page spread. Here you will find everything from why I chose certain colors, fonts, and images, to how I then went on to put them together into an ultimate design on the editing tool Canva that has helped me throughout this long journey. In the previous blog I went into great depth on many of the areas that I covered here so I will simply be expanding and adding on to the information from blog #14 here. So if you see some similar information you will know why but remember that I will be elaborating much more here than before and will go more specific instead of more broad. On top of that, if you didn't realize I decided to follow some of...

ARTICLE FORMAT PLANS AND DRAFTS                                                                  03/08/2022 For this particular blog post I will be creating 3 distinct layouts for my specific 2-page spread article. Even though they are all quite unique, I still kept in mind the conventions of my genre, therefore there are certain similarities between the designs here and there such as the color scheme and fonts. Moreover I will be providing an extensive and thorough explanation for each and every one of my decisions regarding key aspects of my layout, though no original content will be found as that is part of my next post. Instead this blog will solely focus on the actual design and layout of each special part of my 2-page spread with no concern over original information whatsoever. All in all,...
