Selecting a Theme


Before I began to work on my magazine, I had to decide whether I wanted to work alone, with a partner, or even in a group. I chose to work with a partner, Jordanna Eaves. After this decision was made, it was time to think about the type of theme I wanted my magazine to have. In mid-September, my partner and I looked at magazine examples in class so that we could get ideas and/or inspiration. Assignments were given to me along the way to help me with my decision. I watched Powerpoints, participated in discussions, and looked at many different magazine covers. By the end of it all, the theme chosen for our magazine was to educate others on how different hair care products can affect hair growth.

How to Write Captions and Why they are Important

It is important to write captions because they provide context for a picture and give the reader a who, what, when, where, and why. Captions can go even deeper within the picture by saying how what's happening is happening and leaving the reader with a quote. When writing captions they can either be Basic  or Expanded.       Basic captions tell…      - Who (Up to five people with their first ad last names)      - What       - Where       - When       Basic Captions have…      - An Action Lead-In      - Basic Information Basic Captions need to be in PRESENT TENSE and ONE sentence long. Here is an example: Smiling for the picture is 3-year-old Jasmine Calixte, Kiera Calixte’s dog who is always bringing her joy is sitting patiently while Kiera takes her picture in their backyard to start the year 2022.

Getting Started

One of the first things our magazine project centered on was creating a publication at the beginning of September. I learned how important a publication is to a magazine and the role it plays. Publications are used as a reference to magazines, saves memories, and documents their history. Some popular examples include People Magazine, Vogue Magazine, and Women’s Health Magazine. After learning about the importance of a publication and reviewing some examples, my partner and I decided that Black Art Magazine would be a great name for our own.

Creating a Practice Spread

Around the end of January, I created a practice spread about myself to help me prepare for my final spread for my magazine. Completing this spread helped me get a sense of putting all of my photos, captions, secondary coverage, and article altogether to create something that looks presentable and is completed.   Working on this practice spread helped me experiment with the different ways I could use fonts and colors in my headline, subheadline, and secondary coverage titles. Practice using the three types of spacing (micro, conventional, and macro) came out of making this spread as well. After completing this spread for practice, it helped me realize the things that I need to work on such as having more of a color theme, a better dominant photo, and making sure I can fit my article and captions in their spaces on the spread. Below is a picture of my completed practice spread.
