The magazine text features include the magazine title which is the most noticeable text on the cover and smaller bold letters as the subtitles at the bottom of the magazine. The Magazine articles mostly consisted of car reviews and new innovations that technology is bringing to cars. For example, one of the articles in the magazine on page 50 is explaining how the new BMW i8 is revolutionizing technology in cars. There's a total of 110 pages the main article which is a  breakdown of the worlds three fastest cars under a million dollars. Unlike most of the other magazine I have read the main article in this magazine is located more toward the beginning rather than the middle. The table of contents included more images of the three cars and little images of cars they were reviewing. To further my research I checked the magazine's award history and unf

Project Selection- My Decision

My Decision After carefully examining both the film and magazine projects, I have decided to do the magazine. The skills that I possess that makes the magazine the best fit for me are my writing and editing pictures abilities. For my project, I would like to make a car review magazine with a group. My group will include three people Aaron Fainshtein, Max Duplissey and me, each one of us is going to write a two-page article reviewing each other's cars. The targeted audience for our magazine is going to be a car enthusiast. Aaron is going to be in charge of the magazine design, Max is going to be in charge of what kind of articles fits best in our magazine and lastly, I will be in charge of taking and editing all of the pictures for the magazine. We will also be doing a car photoshoot at Siesta Key, Florida to capture pictures of our magazine. In conclusion, doing the magazine project is going to take a lot of hard work and dedication in order for it to come out perfect, which is

Project Selection- Film

Is the Film project a good choice fo me ? The aspect of film production that would interest me is the directing part. The director of a movie is a person who supervises the actors, camera crew, and other staff for a movie, play, television program, or similar production, the director is practically in charge of the whole production. This role fits right into my personality of always being a leader and taking charge of situations. Filming a movie also takes technological expertise or at the very least, a very solid working understanding of the latest filming technology and software. This skill is what I'm worried about if I end up doing the film project. I never really edited a full video before, and I'm worried this may have a negative effect on my project but I'm always willing to learn something new.  Another aspect of film production that interests me is the creativity that plays into making a film. The art of filmmaking involves giving your creative side free reign g

Project Selection: Magazine

Is the magazine project a good choice for me?        One aspect of print journalism that might interest me is reviewing automobiles. Cars have always interested me ever since I've been a little girl. My dad played a big role in this passion since he was always either talking about cars or fixing cars around me. Over the years I have learned the basic knowledge that plays into making a good car. Due to my past experience with cars, my two-page article can be considered coming from a reliable source. Furthermore,  Doing a magazine about cars would also benefit me since almost everyone around my life is cars enthusiasts which would provide me with a quite of few sources for information. In my opinion, the magazine project would be a good choice for me because between writing and filming I think my skills are best at writing. Also I never really edited a full video before but I have edited pictures before. Overall, I still need to look into the aspects of the movie project to ultima
