Preliminary Layout

 Portfolio Project Preliminary Layout

Masthead: Marigold! 

Cover: 

  • Main image: Undecided, but will feature a girl, she will take up most of the page. Image wll have many colorful, bright elements and the girl will be in trendy, stylized indie streetwear. 

  • Typography/font: For masthead: In Shrikhand font, (either 60pt or 72pt), “Marigold!” in white lettering. Shrikhand font is chunky and has a vintage feel, but is also vintage enough to be trendy and looks appealing as masthead. Merriweather font for coverlines in 24pt size. Merriwheather is a font a bit taller and wider than Times New Roman, and looks less cold and businesslike; it compliments Shrikhand well. Color depends on image, but will most likely be black or white for visibility. 

  • Masthead: Takes up about the top 6th of the magazine, might cover up part of the girl in the main image 

  • Selling Line: “The Gold In All of Us” 

Feature article: 

  • Title: The College Rush 

  • Content: A guide with various tips on how to survive various stages of the college process. There will be sections titled “Getting Admitted”, “You Made It!” and “The First Year” that give advice on the admissions process, preparing for the college move, and tips on how to navigate your first year of college respectfully. Information will be presented in bullet points, with a larger first sentence summarizing the point, and the more detailed advice in a normal font size. There will be various images related to each section dispersed in the article to make it more engaging and aesthetically pleasing. 

Content Page: 

  • Styling: Marigold font for titles, in the background will be an image with the same sort of feel and colors as the main cover image, and the text will overlay on it 

  • Title ideas: Accessories for Every Aesthetic, What’s With the Update? (article about odd social media updates and overall direction of social media), Anxiety Central: How 3 Girls Deal with Anxiety and Mental Health, Clothing Tricks and Hacks, Summer (or other season) Snacks On a Budget

Storyboard

 Storyboarding has been a long and arduous process, but at last I'm finished. Storyboarding has been somewhat challenging for me since I've had so many visions for this magazine. After all, to quote the article Storyboard Your Way to Success , "The first step in storyboarding is defining the problem to be solved." That's hard to do when your problem is too many ideas! Solidifying the elements I want to keep has been difficult, but I think I finally have an idea for the aesthetic I want to achieve. Having a visual of this is a huge step in solidifying the feel I want to go for. I struggled with the concept refinement of my magazine; however, to quote the article, "An important characteristic of storyboarding is its visual nature - not just the artwork you can include on the boards, but the very fact that the words are listed so that everyone can see and respond to them." Being able to see all the text and visuals laid out helped me flesh out what would re...

Decision Day

Image
After weeks of gathering experience with software and viewing examples, the time has finally come to make my choice of whether I wish to pursue the movie project or the magazine project.    To be completely honest, I was, and still am, intimidated by both programs. Each has  complex menus, options, layouts, file trans fers, and  commands, and I feel as if I still do not totally understand either  one.  They are both hugely overwhelming.  However, I do have a good enough comprehension of both to list some of the pros and cons of each.   Adobe Premiere Pro i s a  creative  video editing and production software. I was shocked at how much I was able to do on the app.  When you start your  project , the four different editing screens/ sections are well organized and make the software seem less daunting to use. Simple commands, such as cutting footage and  placing clips, are very easy to use . You can use  different camera ...

Creative Critical Reflection Question 4

 Here is my Question 4 response, created in Panopto, a video sharing and screen recording platform! I knew I wanted to screen share and specifically point out the functions I used for my response to this question, so I searched for software that I could use (besides Zoom). I found Panopto, which gives access to editing tools and up to 5 hours of footage, and it was super simple to operate. It was probably the best software I had found for this response. (You might want to make the video full screen to see some segments of the video more easily. Also, the captions are auto-generated only, so they are not fully accurate.) https://pro.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?tid=df14a21f-bd35-41c0-91e7-acfa00530f28
