Magazine project reflection
In our class we were given an assignment based on a magazine. We had to pick a magazine that we can relate ourselves too. Our first step was to think about ourselves what we like. After we had to think how we could relate that to a magazine. We had to figure out what kind of language to use depending on the magazine and the audience. Then we thought about what to wear and how to pose due to what magazine we were on. When we were done with that the following step was to come up with a few headlines that we can use on our magazine they had to be short, snappy, and had to touch the audience who would read it. After figuring all that out I finally picked my magazine, which was Psychology Today, then I took my picture, I cropped it and put it on my magazine, I added a nice background to it. Finally I was done with my magazine.
My magazine title is Psychology Today. My background is an office I have a table a chair, my floor is rugged and I have a bookshelf. It’s well decorated. I have 3 headlines, which talk about body language, reality change and fast food. The middle of my magazine there is a full body picture of me in where I am standing. I am wearing black and blue, I have on a blue and black shirt black leggings, blue heels, and my hair is done straight. I posed with my left hand on my hip and I am also smiling its just a very presentable pose.
My magazine is based on psychology today, which just talks about different things that people stress and deal with. For my picture I picked an office, which just represents what a psychologist office can look like. My picture is basically who they can come and talk to. My colors pretty much just matched my clothes and as of my headlines I used 3, one of them was about fast food since a lot of people deal with it even if they might not want to. My purpose to my magazine was to reach out to those who need advice, someone to talk to, and so they know they aren’t the only ones dealing with similar problems.
According to the rubric I feel like my work is successful. I also know I could of did a better job but it was my fist time working with Photo Shop. I wasn’t really used to it and messed up a lot. I think I could improve using tools for example the wand and other tools that relate to cropping. I think I used a good picture and my background and colors where good I also think my headlines were easy to read and understand. This is my opinion about my magazine according to the rubric.
