HOUSE STYLE

The masthead allows readers to get a grasp on what my magazine is about. The publishing date allows the readers to be aware of what season it is. My main cover line let’s readers know what the feature article of my magazine is about and my final cover line lets readers know the location that my magazine focuses on.

My masthead is present to let the reader know it is magazine is about. The contents logo refers to this being the Table of Contents page and again, the publish date lets the reader know the season. I separated my TOC into three different sections based on category. I created a visual structure using lines to format my TOC to be clean and easy.

I used the tag restaurants so that readers know what section of the magazine his article is in. I used a tagline to give readers insight of what my article was about. In order to appeal to my audience, I used pops of Hot Pink and Teal to catch the attention of readers. I also involved a lot of pictures so that readers wouldn’t be “bored” with just a story, they have a lot of visual aspects to focus on.

#2 How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?

#2 HOW DOES YOUR PRODUCT ENGAGE WITH AUDIENCES AND HOW

WOULD IT BE DISTRIBUTED AS A REAL MEDIA TEXT?

To brand my magazine for my target audience thorough the use of vivid colors. I used mostly boxy text and some cursive to create a “modern day” feel. I engaged and attracted my audience to my magazine by using unique fonts and pictures of delicious food (because honestly, who can pass up a magazine with pictures of mouth watering food?) Someone would want to buy my magazine in order to get review’s on South Florida’s hottest restaurant or also to get extremely delicious recopies.

#2 HOW DOES YOUR PRODUCT ENGAGE WITH AUDIENCES AND HOW WOULD IT BE DISTRIBUTED AS A REAL MEDIA TEXT? What is universally liked by all people? Food.

People are generally attracted to delicious food pictures and that’s why this magazine would do well on market. SOFLO EATS is unique because it caters directly to the area of South Florida. Not only does this magazine appeal to those interested in recipes but it also provides reviews on restaurants. Therefore, this magazine is well rounded in the area of cuisine and would definitely dominate the Food & drink magazine genre. Time magazine published recipe magazine but they do not yet offer a magazine based on restaurant reviews.

# 3 HOW DID YOUR PRODUCTION SKILLS DEVELOP THROUGHOUT THIS

PROJECT? Rough Draft: I changed genre’s after my first draft and

continued to lean to a more minimalistic look in order to appeal to reader’s eyes. I started using more eye catching colors and utilizing “white” space in my final draft.

Rough drafts: I decided to continue improving by using more white space to create a

cleaner cut look.

Rough drafts:

I made little changes to this spread because I was please with the layout beforehand.

# 3 HOW DID YOUR PRODUCTION SKILLS DEVELOP THROUGHOUT THIS PROJECT?

As the year progressed, I became more and more comfortable with Photoshop. However, I felt so much more comfortable going with InDesign when we first began using it because I’m a very organized person and InDesign offered gridlines unlike Photoshop.

4. HOW DID YOU INTEGRATE TECHNOLOGIES – SOFTWARE, HARDWARE AND ONLINE – IN THIS PROJECT? I used an HP computer for all my projects. I

used Photoshop, InDesign , Word and used online sites such as EDUBLOGS, Prezi and Piktochart to create my final project.
