Vance's Magazine

Blog #23 So I am setting up the format of the second page of the article, I am making it the same way as the last on but I'm just making one vertical rectangle line down the center of the page to split the information in half. When doing this I have to go back to the first page and view the ruler and see where the first vertical line started. I have to do the same exact on both articles to make it look most professional. After I have completed this I went on to finish the interview with Rafael. Continuing the same font and style as the first article. I decided to include a photo of the whole team I took at the beginning of the season to the bottom of the page. The reason I did this is because I want more visuals for the reader. This also gives me the opportunity to write less about the article and fill in less space. I feel like if I were to write more information on the topic the information would not be very relevant and just be spitting out irrelevant facts. This is the progre...

Blog #22 Where I left off I was entering my second page of the article. I made a few tweaks to the first page as well I forgot to list. At the beginning of the entry of a new paragraph I increased the font to 25 to make them stand out more to the reader. I started the interview with Rafael after the information of the text. I listed out the interview questions in bullet form in a way. I just listed the question right before the paragraph. Then I included the quote from Rafael after the question. This makes it flow more in the magazine.

Blog #21 The haven't started piecing the article information together yet. Which I am starting today. I was think what I was going to talk about but I didn't really have an idea of how to start the article. I went online in sports magazines to see how they start and introduce their topic. I noticed that most magazines introduce the school or topic in the first couple of sentences. I did the same thing since the magazines I was looking at were professionally published magazines. I went on to introduce the school, which is Sarasota High School and I stated what happened with their season and how they might be going onto  the district championship as the teams goal. I think that it is a good start of what I have so far. I incorporated pictures inside the article since the picture was related to the article. The photo I chose was a picture of the team. It shows the reader what the players look like and the uniforms. This is the progress I have on the article so far.

Blog #20 When I left off last was making the dividers for the article page. I am going to place the title of my article in the top left, where the two lines form a square. I am going to use the same house font as my whole magazine, which is the soccer league font. I am also going to offset the article title by tapping tab one time to make the title look more clean and professional. I then entered the title of the article that I chose, which was "Sarasota High's Undefeated Season". I then put the author of the page which was me, Vance Sommers. I included the authors name because all of professional magazines include the author. Since I am trying to make my magazine as professional as possible, this is the best way to do it. This is the progressive of the article below.

Blog #19 I've started to put together the articles of the magazine. The article is going to be based upon the "Sarasota High Undefeated Record". The first thing that I need to do is establish the layout of the article play. I decided to put a Rectangle in the top left of the page to put the phrase "Club Interview" into the rectangle. Then I thought the rectangle should have another item inside of it. I went to the shapes in the photoshop menu and found a soccer ball I inserted in. The photo below is the progress I have so far. The next step that I an wanting to split the article in half like most magazine articles. This way it is most appealing to the eye and looks to fit in with the magazine house style now-a-days. I will do this by selecting the rectangle in photoshop to make a line as a divider. I will make one rectangle horizontal and one vertical. This is the final product: | | | | |

Blog #18 I am finished with my table of contents as I put all of the articles into the table. I made the main article or cover story. I did this to emphasize that the cover story "Sarasota High School Undefeated Season". The photo below is the final product. You can see in the photo I included the page number on the left of the article title. I also include pictures of some of my friends playing soccer that I took. I made sure that my font matched up with all of the rest of the magazine so that it flowed more. The font that I used was the soccer league font that I mentioned in previous blogs. I put the cover story inside of the shape to emphasize the importance of the article and how the magazine was directed towards the cover story. This is the final copy of the table of contents. I think that the table of contents looks semi-professional. I'm happy with the result but I definitely think that the picture I captured could have been better, but as of now I have no m...
