"What's in My Gym Bag?" Writing

-

I've started asking my friends for pictures of the stuff they bring with them to sports or fitness classes. So far, I've had one response from my friend Adrianna. I decided to write a little bit about what activity she does, and then I searched up some of the items from her picture so that the audience could find her outfit if it inspired them. I've seen this type of thing be done in People Magazine, where items are linked in the digital magazine. This is a physical magazine, but I would also want it to be digital, so I spent time putting a hyperlink in each title screenshot.

Editor's Note Further Editing

-

I noticed some slight errors in my editor's note and some wording that I could change. I also looked at a reference editor's letter from Women's Health and noticed that there was a lot more depth to the graphics and organization of the page. My edited text: I have to start thinking about pictures to take/include in my magazine. I think that the pictures on the editor's note should be gym/fitness related pictures of me, as this is a fitness magazine. I wanted to add a signature, but this actually proved challenging. I don't have a tablet or stylus, but I do have a touchscreen laptop. I was able to find a pen with a silicone stylus at the end, but it was still hard to write with since my laptop cannot be folded down. I tried using the Canva draw tool, but it kept weirdly lining the signatures I made. I decided to screenshot a blank piece of the page and then screenshotting it and using Microsoft's screenshot markup tool, which was much more effective. I really wan...

Paddington (2014) Case Study

    I was given an assignment on developing a case study. The movie I selected for my case study is Paddington (2014). I have included the information for each bullet point under each example. Paddington himself is a visual effect because he is digitally animated and placed into the film , using motion capture where actors wearing suits dotted with markers. In fact, s ome of the physical interactions Paddington has with other characters are done with hidden assistants behind the camera th at make contact w ith the characters using spoons or tools that Paddington can easily be edited over to make it look li ke h e's on screen.        The opening of the film has a TV -broadcasting introduction with a black-and-white, crackly filter over it to make it look vintage. The fake television broadcast is then shown using the same visual filters. This helps us acknowledge that what we are seeing has taken place in the past and can serve as context for the storyl...

Table of Contents Editing

I have made several changes to my table of contents. My original table of contents looked like this: It looked pretty unprofessional, and I had to get to the bottom of how to fix it. In the examples above, the titles are a lot smaller and much more dynamic. The color was also very bland and beige. The titles were also very boring and didn't grab attention. One example I found of a table of contents from an issue of Women's Health put the title of the article in bold with a description underneath, which I thought was a good idea: I also found an issue of Woman's World, which separated the content of the magazine into subcategories, which I think makes the content more digestible and organized. Therefore, I decided to separate my content into subcategories too. I chose the categories Nutrition, Workouts & Fitness, and Lifestyle. Woman's World example: With this in mind, I decided to condense my titles, organize them into my categories, make them more interesting, and ...
