                          Creating my Table of Contents      Just as when I planned for my final cover and feature spread, I drew a sketch of how I wanted my table of contents to look like.      Since I had to come up with content that would suit the theme of a natural lifestyle I wrote some ideas at the beginning of my magazine process in my phone's "Notes" application. These were a few ideas I came up with and I will organize and apply them to my magazine. I also focused on this specific issue of Mother Earth to assist me in the organization and know how to elaborate my own ideas in a similar format.   I first inserted all my images and my text so I could go getting an idea of how I would enhance the look of the table of contents with all my ideas on it. I later researched on these ideas and put them on my sketch above.     I then found a flaw in the picture I took of the teeth model. I t had a missing tooth, but I decided to search up how to fix i

Creating Feature Spread       When contemplating ideas for my feature spread I looked back at the magazine I analyzed in class and was inspired by this specific example. From here, I gathered my photos that I had taken and decided that the everglades photo shoot would be ideal for a feature spread since I can do a similar structure. The spread would be about spending a day at the national park while providing some background on the park. I t will also cover some tips and guides to inform readers on some activities that are available around the park. For this I had to do some research and I the following websites assisted with providing me with some information. https://www.jungleervairboatworld.com/everglades-airboat-ride-checklist/ https://theculturetrip.com/north-america/usa/florida/articles/8-things-to-do-in-everglades-national-park-in-miami-fl/ https://www.nps.gov/ever/index.htm After creating my sketch I implemented my pictures and the information I collected from

 When is came to designing my cover, I glanced back at my previous blogs to combine all elements that I wanted to include in my magazine. This included the content, images and structure.     The structure is quite similar to the magazine I analyzed in class (Mother Earth Living) which provided an clean and simple structure. I still had to play with font, but it was just a rough planning of my ideas. My next step was to write down all my text so I could continue to start placing them around to a placement that would suit the magazine. I utilized the "Herb-Infused Honeys" issue of Mother Earth Living to structure and organize my texts and image. My main image takes over the full page. It interferes a bit more with the text than Mother Earth Living to highlight the significance of the image. My magazine follows its similar subheadings, however my text with the articles that are included inside the magazine are at the bottom left to not disrupt the image.
