Masthead

Image
I am currently working on my masthead. In my personal opinion it is the most important part of the magazine, I plan on capturing the attention of everyone with my cover photo of my model Griffin wearing the green hoodie shown below. I will stick to my color scheme of black white and forest green accents. Once I finish this ill work on finishing the final details of my feature article about what machinery mayhem really is. I want to avoid looking blank with the black background so I’m going for a stylish and eccentric but to passing the threshold of weird so I can capture but not lose the attention of my reader. I will use Helvetica bold as my regular default font with most likely non-bold as my type font or Tahoma to stick keep the focus on the pictures and meaning of the words and not how fancy my font is but still stands out. 

Final Film Images

 I finally received my film and it has been developed I plan on using many of these images for small details and added texture to my magazine. I'm very happy with the very talented job my model griffin did who completely captured the look of someone who enjoys the clothing and fits them extremely well. I will retake some pictures digitally for the larger sized images because I did not take that into account with film and must have a small reshoot. nonetheless, I am very happy with the turnout and I'm super excited to continue working towards my final product when I can eventually share my magazine with the class. IM slowly integrating these images directly into my magazine after I shortly tweak some like removing wrinkles or blemishes on the face or clothing to keep them perfect the same as they would do in the magazine industry. 

Feature Article development and film pictures

    I plan on writing my feature article about the Meaning of my brand the definition of what Machinery Mayhem is as a sub plot of the clothing brand. I'm going to avoid steering towards the territory of an advertisement and keep it informational with subtle hints of an interview with myself and Chaz (the co-owner of the brand with me). I’m still waiting on my film to be developed by the lab, so I am unsure on when ill receive but once I do ill edit and prepare my cover page and have my classmates review it along with my feature article together. I hope I can really capture the essence of my brand and keep it captivating, so readers are not bored or irritated when reading about it.
