Feature Spreads

Image result for Natalia Vodianova W Magazine    In the first issue, its main feature includes many photos of the woman on the cover joined with a little text to credit the writer, photographer, and the designer of what she is wearing. Then the following pages talk about the model on the cover and her personal life. They interview her about her family and her success and what she is saying is illustrated by including pictures that surround the text with small captions under them. The feature spread is ten pages long.

    Feature spread begins with a number of pages of the girl on the cover with small quotes of things she has said or have been said about her. The photo, writing, and designer credit are included usually at the top or bottom right of each photo. Then there is a page where she talks about her accomplishments and her life. The writing begins with a drop cap and uses serif font.

     Begins with images of the girl in the cover with designer clothing. The credits are included like the the first and second magazine. There is then two pages of writing where she is talked about and she talks about herself as well. It is then followed by more photographs of her with their credits. The feature article is a total of 12 pages.



     I noticed how they always began introducing who the girl on the main cover is by mentioning her and her accomplishments. The text then goes and becomes like an interview since they include her actual responses to questions mention in the article. I would like my magazine to also start this way and be an interview in a way as well. I noticed how all three issues never stop including the credits, so I will keep that in mind when inputting photos for my own magazine. The one thing I will not be doing is making my feature spreads as long as 12 pages. Overall, I will use my research and hope to incorporate some of the codes used in W magazine in my own.

FINAL PRODUCT: MUSE

Image
FINALLY!!!!! Everything is done and I could not be happier with the results. This process has been a a very long one, but I have learned a lot along the way. I bettered my skill in the editing realm using applications such as, Photoshop, InDesign, and Facetune. I found out what it is like to run a photo shoot and how it is not as glamorous as it seems. Nothing throughout the making of this magazine was easy, but it was all very rewarding to see the final product and watch it all come together as I put each piece together. Overall, this was a very fun project that I enjoyed doing and the magazine looks just how I pictured it.  COVER:  TABLE OF CONTENTS: FEATURE SPREAD:

Table of Contents Plan:

Image
  For my table of contents I feel it will be easier... I hope. When I did my research on W magazine I noticed that their table of contents is usually two pages, so that is what I will be doing. I also will not use much images, due to how table of contents in fashion images usually have 1-4 images. The headlines I will use are going to be similar to the ones W magazine uses ( Fashion + Features, Who"s Next, What's Hot, Beauty, and Departments). What goes under these headlines will be typical things that magazines feature. For instance, " Top 10 accessories" or " "Latest Trends". I plan to include the credits for who took the pictures for each "page" I place on the table of contents. I do not want to make random names or use the same name for each "photographer" so I will use my friends name, since I think they have been so helpful during this process, in the sense that they have helped me narrow down some of my ideas, and I greatly a...

Table of Contents

   I finished my table of contents!!! I honestly thought this would be the easiest, but somehow I managed to take so long trying to make everything look right.I began with laying out the boxes on InDesign of where the photos will be placed and then input my headlines. I then began coming up with more titles to go under the headers other than the ones I already had in mind ( mentioned in my table of contents planning post) . Once I had everything set up I input the pictures and the writing and began just trying to make it proportional and look aesthetic. For the editing in my photos, I did the same process as I did for the images on my feature spread ( Used VSCO to make the images all work together and look cohesive, by adding a filter,changing the brightness, ad grain). I noticed that fashion magazines tend to include the month the issue is from so I included the date over the title, in a different font to differ it from the serif fonts that takes over the whole magazine. I ma...
