Preliminary Task #1

 


Welcome back to my blog!

So, now that I've planned out within my head the skeleton of what will soon be my completed magazine, we're going to do a bit of a dry run in the form of the preliminary task. This task will hone my skills in photo editing and magazine creation, making sure that I'm ready to begin actually creating my final magazine when the time comes.

I've decided to dedicate my preliminary task to a fitness/health magazine. I frequent the gym often, going 5 days a week for about 2 or 2 and a half hours a day, with breaks on Wednesdays and Sundays. This should give me more than enough time to gather all the necessary photos and media I need to get started creating this cover and contents page. Now, let me break down my plan for completing the preliminary task...

  1. Take a large sample size of photos at the gym
  2. Sort through all photos, should be around 30-40 and select the few that stand out
  3. Out of these 'finalist' pictures, choose 3 that will make it to the magazine
  4. These 3 will be edited by me, with 1 going on the cover and two in the table of contents, with my current plan being to make a diagonal split down the page with the two images on either side
  5. Follow a template guide for the content page, making sure that all text is clear and visible 
  6. Create a reflection after I'm done
  7. Profit (Figuratively)

Goodbye, and see you soon with another update!

Compulsory Question 4

 Welcome back to my blog! Today I will be answering compulsory question 4. Prezi Presentation:  https://prezi.com/p/-ovwsyoexlzb/?present=1 Prezi Video: https://prezi.com/v/y4em-lccoiy7/ Transcript   Hello, my name is David Martinez, my candidate number is 1421, my center number is US154, and today I will be answering compulsory question 4 for my AICE Media Studies Class.  Compulsory Question 4 asks, how did you integrate technologies - software, hardware, and online - in this project? To which I have to say, throughout this project, technology in the form of hardware, software, and online websites were heavily ingrained in the entire production of my magazine from the first blog to the entire final magazine. Without technology, I would have been unable to complete any of the tasks required of me. Software such as PhotoShop and the game Elden Ring helped me in the creation of my magazine. PhotoShop allowed me to edit and remove the background of the photos that I too...

Compulsory Question 3

 Welcome back to my blog! Today I will be answering Compulsory Question 3. Prezi Presentation:  https://prezi.com/p/vz7yt4yqhl6e/?present=1 Prezi Video: https://prezi.com/v/j_qaogdenhl0/ Transcript  Hello, my name is David Martinez, my candidate number is 1421, my center number is US154, and today I will be answering compulsory question 3 for my AICE Media Studies Class.  Compulsory question 3 asks, how did your production skills develop throughout this project?  To which I say, while developing my magazine, my skills especially in digital design have improved tremendously. This is obvious when comparing my submissions for the preliminary task compared to the submissions for my final magazine. I have improved my ability to use software such as PhotoShop to edit my photos, and Canva to compose my designs into a working item.  The preliminary task allowed me to dip my feet into the world of magazine creation. I had to gather pictures relevant to the topic, ed...
