Introductory blog post

Hi, my name is Yanis Lahlou, I’m creating this blog to present my fashion magazine for my Media Studies Coursework. I chose to do a magazine as it was the brief that looked the most appealing to me and I would like to learn magazine creation related skills such as using Photoshop and taking my own pictures. I’m also looking forward to learn more about fashion and the magazine world.

Sorting out the photoshoot pictures

I have sorted all the pictures from my photoshoot into folders so that it would be easier for me to know where to find the pictures I need according to which part of my coursework I was working on. The pictures in these folders can be seen across my magazine covers, contents pages, website and other blog posts with their respecting names. This has allowed me to be much faster in the creation of my products.

Font exploration for Magazine products

On this post I show the fonts that I have tested for my magazine covers: Font 1 : Impact Font 2 : Algerian Font 3: Arial Nova Font 4: Elephant Font 5: Rockwell Nova Font 6: Agency FB Font 7: Segoe Script The final decision I made considering what font(s) to use was using Rockwell Nova because I found it to be a variation of a serif font that did not look too childish or too serious thus appealing to my target audience and demographic as it just seems simple and classic but yet sophisticated. My original products has used the SEGOE SCRIPT font, after feedback from peers and teachers, it was pointed out to me that this font wasn't appropriate to the world of fashiion magazines as it looked almost childish or unserious hence why I have decided to use Rocwell Nova for my next covers draft and contents pages.

Timeline of events

This is a timeline of events I have drawn to give a brief idea of what should be accomplished during specific time periods and allow myself to meet deadlines and stay organised in a timely manner.
