Fonts

  For my magazine I have been on the lookout for fonts to use. I started searching online, but didn't go too far due to how the sites with these fonts were super annoying to keep copying and pasting and most sites would have fonts that were nice but you had to pay for them and when you would click on free it would give you one sad page of fonts instead of 26. I then decided to go on Word and try out fonts there. On Word is where I found the most font choices and it is very easy to access as well. Photoshop is also somewhere I have been looking for fonts. I am still figuring out weather or not I will use serif or sans-serif fonts (maybe both?!).
  I began copying and pasting the fonts I like on a Word Document to visually see them all together and which one I like the most. I did it for the title MUSE and AV ( YES I still do not know which title I should do, like I think Muse matches more, but AV is more personal and original so...) just to see which one looks better and matches the vibe for my magazine. The fonts highlighted in yellow are the ones I found in Word to identify those easily and the rest that I got on websites or scrolling through Photoshop I have the place I found them on in parenthesis right next to them. If I do use MUSE or AV I know that for a fact I will have them in all caps. I feel like that looks more professional and makes a statement, rather than a having the masthead in lowercase letters.

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...
