Magazine Font

                                Choosing Magazine Font

        When it came to choosing my fonts, I had to do some research. On the website www.indesignskills.com I found some useful tips.
     Since my main article is "Dental Herbalism", I knew it would have to be a sophisticated font to fit this medical theme. They advised to utilize the "Bodoni" font; however, I was able to find the "Bodoni MT" font and it was a perfect fit.

          For my magazine's title, Nature's Boon I wanted a bold text because I wanted the name to stand out with the main image in the background. Since the main image is taking over the whole cover, it is essential for the title to be in a bolder text. This will also be useful for the audience to identify the magazine instantly from the eye-catching letters. On the website https://justcreative.com I found the font "Garamond" in the article, "Top 7 Fonts Used By Professionals In Graphic Design". I found that it suited the simple yet bold disposition I want to create with my magazine.

For the rest of the smaller texts and subheading I would like lighter fonts for the smaller text so the page isn't loaded with too much, yet it is essential it can be legible to readers.

On the website above, it informed me that the font Century Gothic was popular in the print media and was very legible. This would be a great fit for subheadings. For other small text it stated that Verdana was a great font for small text as well because of how flexible it was and this is supported by it being sans serif.

Mother Earth Living Table of Contents Codes and Conventions                                                                                                                                      Vivian Fundora                    As I continue to analyze the magazine, "Mother Earth Living", I also took a look at its table of contents. Since I will be creating one for my own magazine this will come in handy to facilitate how i come up with my ideas and what I would like to do differently.            After looking at a few issues, this magazine tends to contain about a total of 60 to 75 pages; the table of contents tends to take up two pages. It summarizes the entire magazine into two simply laid out pages for the audience to get a glimpse of what is inside. In my the magazine of my own i think that i would like to stick to having 60 to 75 pages in my whole magazine because its not an overwhelming amount of articles and information but it still has a significant amount to

Creating Feature Spread

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

Creating my Table of Contents

                          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
