photo shoot planning

Image
In preparation for creating my photo shoot I would like to go to downtown Miami where i am sure i can find a plethora of lavish sites and location that can serve as spots of high luxury. I really plan on going to places where wealth is abundant such as a neighborhood where all the houses seem to be mansions, not only that but i will try to see if I can find any cars of luxury such as Porsche, Mercedes Bends, and Audi. in addition, going to the famous and fancy hotels of Miami will also serve the purpose f my magazine. I will plan to write about these pictures in a way where I can tell my readers what is the price of the product what it takes to gain that product and who you have to be in order to have that product. So for example when talking about an expensive car o will elaborate on the price and who are the type of people who drive these high end vehicles what kind of job that they have etc,

The Sketching Process

The Cover Page      In my extensive search of inspiration for ideas to create the best magazine in the world with regards to finance, I believe i have found an adequate cover that can convey the message of what I think finance should be. In my early childhood i can clearly remember having a piggy bank on top of my dresser. This piggy bank was given to me by my father, a person who taught the skill of valuing everything in life even something as small and insignificant like a penny. So the idea of using a piggy bank as my cover page for my magazine came of no surprise.However this may change depending on the types of pictures that I take and use. The main idea that this magazine will drive home would be that saving money is essential to living a life of success with finance. Many people throw away any little money they earn off  small paycheck on items that hold insignificant value in the long run. Saving money opens up so many doors in the market of inv...

magazine planning fonts

Image
The fonts that I would like to use for my magazine would be the most elegant of fonts. Preferably a font that resembles that of cursive. In addition to that style i would like to add styles from Money Magazine like helvetica, garamond, and bodoni. My magazine will resemble these styles since I am drawing inspiration from them and i feel that the fonts will look well with the content that i will be speaking about. Helvetica is a very traditional style without drawing from the boredom of other standard fonts like ariel and times new roman, it is distinct enough that a keen eye could pay attention to that small detail. The garamond font reminds me of a more elegant type of writing similar to one of cursive or anything like that. I would like t use this font when featuring expensive houses, hotels, boats, or cars as I am trying to emphasize the topic of an elegant and luxurious lifestyle in my magazine. Not only that but i may introduce one final font which is bodoni which I may use depend...

Photoshop

     When creating this newly defined image of this luxurious car I had to experience many growing pains with Adobe Photoshop. When I began the first step i took was cropping the large black boarders from the original picture. These black boarders came from the result of taking the original picture on my iPhone and sending it to my computer via email. After that step i decided that the image needed some cleaning up to do. If you notice on the first image there seems to be a black oil stain under the car. My magazine is abut luxury and class so I immediately decided to remove the stain. To do this it required much research from other websites and YouTube videos. Essentially what i did was that i cropped out a portion of the pavement that was not stained and saved that cropped portion to then which i put that same piece over the oil spill creating the illusion that the spill had been covered up. This was all done to remove any blemishes the image may have that could lowe...

Magazine Presentation

Image
     When we all presented as a group we all learned and drew influences from each others presentations in regards to creating our own magazines. For example our group's main topic would wealth and money because of this we noticed that many different magazines about money would have some sort of affluence or wealth on the main cover. This includes pictures of expensive cars, houses, yachts, or any other symbols of wealth. in addition, some other ideas for the covers would include either a successful person as the main piece of the cover work. My teammate mentioned that Forbes magazine is well known for always having a prosperous entrepreneur  on the cover Forbes has featured the likes of  Warren buffet and Kim Kardashian who both have created and started incredible businesses. Some other magazines focused on other aspects of finance one of which would be Kiplinger Magazine who had more of a dramatic way of designing its cover one of which would be a man cuttin...
