Coursework development sample post

I feel like our magazine analysis project really helped me with everything having to do with the blog and our actual magazines that we will have to design. I used to think magazine mastheads and things like the overall design centered around magazines weren’t important aspects of a magazine, and I thought they were pretty random based on each magazine publisher/seller; but I’ve come to find that it actually plays a role in things like one’s target audience, message, etc.

Magazine Genre Codes and Conventions Research Project (Cover)

-
Image
 To commence, I chose Rolling Stone magazine, since it was in the same genre as what I plan to make my magazine on (Music Genre). I will be comparing 3 different covers from Rolling Stone today, and will be taking a look at the different aspects of these covers and the codes/conventions that Rolling Stone utilizes to make their magazine truly theirs. My own magazine that I have planned is not that different from Rolling Stone, the only difference being that Rolling Stone not only has artists from a wide variety of genres, but also talks about different topics, like politic, while my magazine will focus exclusively on Hispanic artists and will not venture out into different topics other than music and possibly their lives, so my magazine will resemble the Jack White Rolling Stone Cover (picture above) the most out of the three.  Now, I will discuss basic codes and conventions for Rolling Stone and will be focusing on these 3 magazines. One thing I notice that...

Photo Editing Blog Post

In these two pictures, the first one is the unedited picture, the second one is "in the process" of being edited, and the second one is after I edited it. I not only added a depth of field effect using the iPhone XS's Portrait Mode, but I also corrected the lighting by adding a "Studio Light effect" (That's the name of the effect on the iPhone, and can be seen in the 2nd picture).  Like this, you can see more of the actual setting/background itself and is more luminant. On the TOC and Feature Spread page for one or two of the Rolling Stones' magazines, it also had this effect and also had a depth of field edit/blur to it, so that's why I did it here. I added a depth of field blur effect to emphasize a focus on the discs in front of the camera, and then the plants in the background, etc. were not in focus because it is not what I am aiming to represent in these photos. For the Anuel AA and Karol G digital renderings I am ...

Table of Contents Blog Post #1

This is my table of contents page, with 4 original photographs which I took (and I thought that the drawings on the cover and feature spread counted as original pictures, but they don't, and I didn't know that until very recently.) The techniques I used to create meaning are essentially through the photos which I took (all 4 of them). For the 2 top pictures, I took them and then edited them using a depth of field effect to focus on and emphasize the main subject/object of the picture (for the top left, I focused on the CDs and the way they are stacked, and for the top right, I focused on the artist, Bad Bunny). For the bottom pictures, I went a step further and actually edited things like their saturation, color depth/intensity, etc. On the bottom left, I didn't use a depth of field effect because I wanted to encompass everything in the picture, even the background flowers that I set up on my table at home, and on the bottom right, I did use a depth of field to foc...
