Genre Declaration

 


    The genre of my magazine is music. I chose to create a magazine in this genre due to my constantly growing interest in music. In addition, my culture has played a large role in the music industry today. 

Three magazines I will focus on as models for my original magazine include : 

    - Rolling Stone

    - Billboard

    - Music Week

These three magazines will serve as a model outline for the magazine I will be creating. I chose to use these due to the fact that they are well known music focused magazines which will provide great examples of the dos and donts pertaining to magazines in the music genre. I will access these magazines but digitally and physically in order to outline their set ups.

Practice Feature Lead

      In this blog, I will be practicing and assessing my ability to write my own practice lead as I will have to create one for my own magazine. Given the story below:    " The police in this municipality received a call at 3:45 p.m. yesterday afternoon. A woman shouted at the sergeant who answered the telephone. She said: "My son's been beaten. His teacher whipped him this afternoon, and he's all red where she paddled him. Can teachers do that? That's assault and battery, and I want her arrested." Two police officers were sent to the home. They questioned the boy, who is 9 years old. At his mother's insistence, the police officers also inspected the boy's reported injuries. They reported: "We couldn't tell that the boy had been paddled. His fanny didn't look red to us, but we did notice that his pants legs were wet and muddy. As we talked, it became obvious that he boy was lying. He finally admitted that he had stopped to play on the wa

Creative Critical Reflection Question #4

4. How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware, and online – in this project? Click the link below for my response: https://prezi.com/view/e5jfgrR1elphVMw5iEif/ Transcript:   Technology was integrated in just about every step of my blog and magazine creation process. To begin with, I first had to familiarize myself with the website blogspot.com. It was important that I learned all the ins-and-outs and became comfortable with it, as this website is what I used to document the whole process of my project. I also initially used my iPhone camera throughout my first few blog posts when exploring camera angles, shots, techniques, etc. Overtime, I eventually upgraded to a more professional camera, my Canon Powershot SX540. I obtained this camera not too long after beginning this process, and familiarize myself within in order to use it to my advantage. This is what I used for the remaining photoshoots and all photos that were published in my magazine. Then, as I progressed furthe
