Project Selection-My Decision

Based on my current skills, I have chosen to create a magazine for my project. This is because I am a relatively skilled photographer which I believe will assist me in thinking of ideas for photo-shoots and articles. Furthermore, I have a decent camera (Canon Rebel t6) which will allow me to produce high-quality photographs to utilize in my magazine. My vision for my magazine is for it to be based on the arts, but with a fashion influence. For example, one article may include a coffee shop, what the model wore, what she drank, and why she/he is there. Therefore, my project will be categorized with other fashion magazines. Furthermore, I have chosen to work alone, since it would be easier for me rather than trying to coordinate times to meet up with other people in my group. Also, I enjoy having complete control when working on a project, as it allows me to ensure things get done correctly, and on time.

This ad's target audience would be parents, kids involved in sports, and a female audience. This is because the techniques used included showing old home videos of Lindsey Vonn, which would strike a sentimental chord with parents, as well as relate to kids. The ad also utilized the power of emotions, which caused the viewer to feel inspired, empowered, and proud, thus prompting them to hopefully tune-...

Project Selection-Magazine

When considering print journalism, there are certain aspects that entice me the most. Based on the previous examples of print journalism that I have been exposed to, I am mostly attracted to the magazines, due to their range of creativity. Although print journalism based off of news and current events interests me, I believe where I live is more so focused on the arts, which will allow me to explore my creativity. Ever since I was a child, I have thoroughly enjoyed doing photography. Therefore, I believe the magazine will be a good fit for me, since I will be able to put my photographs to good use. However, this project may be challenging, if I fail to brainstorm creative ideas for articles to match my photo-shoots.  Furthermore, photography is widely based on lighting, so timing the photo-shoots to where the lighting fits the mood or theme I'm going for may be a challenge. Moreover, finding locations that will allow me to take pictures free of charge may also pose to be challengin...
