The final days

With everything coming up so soon such as holidays and exams and an approaching dead line, I am completing the last few things needed.


This morning I went to the sunrise to take images with a couple of people I know. I wanted some fitness looks but at the same time I want to include happiness and fitness in other forms. So we took some yoga images and ballet images on the beach.
I plan on putting around six images on my table of contents so I will include two of healthy foods, two of images of the ones I took yesterday, and two images of gym workouts. So I had these two images chosen for the table of contents.



This is how the first two images sit on the table of contents and as of now I like it. Although I am not sure if I would like to mix and match it so when I include my other images next week I will play around with it and figure out which looks best. I am also wondering if I should include yellow or teal in my table of contents.

Passover or carbs over!!!

With passover around the corner its a great trail for my fitness diet. Cutting out carbs is a great start to school coming back. Took a few days off from the gym but feel the soreness everywhere. Can't wait to try this no bread week!!!!

Today I worked on my two-page spread creating my article and will complete it today. Once I finish that tomorrow I will focus on my advertisement which I have already chosen a company to represent and design an Ad for. As of now, I will continue to work on my two-page spread and jot down ideas but until I am done my article must remain hidden to keep the mystery!!


Remember, we all start somewhere.

Maybe after my workout..

So according to my schedule I am supposed to have my cover page and beginning my two-page spread but with constant ideas flying through my head and many failed attempts I have fallen back on my cover page but today I am beginning my two-page spread as promised.

Completing a two-page spread is a lot harder than expected,
I thought I had all these ideas but the words are harder to put \down than they are flying around my head. I want to reach people in a certain way and include as many visuals as possible to encourage my readers. I decided to do a photoshoot of my actual workout routines; some inside and some outside.
The words other than the title on the spread is just the tempelte version and isn't mine. I just wanted to show an example of what I have and what I am starting with. So the white spots are where I want images to go. I  will have four images images of food, my aunt, and workouts.
The turquoise writing is a quote I want to retrieve from my aunt who is a nutritionist. The colors that are on my two-page spread will match the cover page in a certain way.

Next I have the second part of the two page spread. On the left coloum I want to put about 4-5 pictures of workouts and foods. So in the yellow part it will be the foods and the blue part it will be the work outs.
I will cover many topics in this article such as; workouts for indoor and outdoor, your metabolism, what benefits you, cheat day, and putting in work.

What a week!

Wow, what a busy week!

Happy Afternoon everybody!!! This week was a handful, I have been editing touching up and planning. I decided to brainstorm a lot. I have found somebody to be my photographer because after many failed attempts, I got nowhere (LOL). 

I don't have much to show you guys as of now because I am still playing around with colors and letterings. My set theme is tourquise, black, and white but I feel like I should edit in other colors like a yellow. As a young adult I have realized the color yellow has come back and better than ever. It is a striking color and I want to include it lightly on my magazine to grasp the attention of my readers. 

This is the shade of yellow I want to splash on my magazine cover and all throughout my magazine. 

These two magazines have splashes of yellow on the cover page but my idea is to touch the yellow in the lettering not on the main image of the cover page.

This magazine to the right (hiteen) has only one dash of yellow but its the best example I could find. Basic colors and that dash of yellow really stands out. 

PSA on my fitness attempt for my article: Spring break has come around and my fitness motivation is getting harder although waking up a little later feels nice. Working out during the day has felt awesome and makes me sweat much more since the sun is cooking me! Today is my cheat day and i'll be having a nice dinner at Rok Burger in fort lauderdale. 

Is it ever a happy Monday?

These five A.M. wake up calls are dreadful especially on a Monday after Sunday Fun Day.
Through this amazing weekend I am ready to delve into my magazine and get working! I've decided to begin my table of contents and play around with it. My beginning stages are the stories I decided to include and just my words. I plan on adding a couple of images and adding a little color or so. I will complete a short editors note just to have on my magazine to have a sense of modernness and class. 



 My plan is to include some of the teal that will be on my cover page onto my table of contents. So my main three colors will be teal, black, and white. Of course this can always change the more I play around and edit my cover page.

The images I want to put on are either two rows of three and the images will be black and white or I want two rows of three with the images in popping colors.

The images I want to put up will be delicious and healthy food, best workout store, gym pictures, and anything that will look aesthetically pleasing.








As of now this is my current status on my magazine. This week I plan to keep taking my cover photos and finish it up. I will also begin to take the images for my table of contents. By the end of the week, I plan to have my cover page complete ( if not it is okay, shooting takes time), table of contents, and research more for my two-page spread.

Sweating it all out

Playing around on Canva, the website I was shown, I decided to create a templet of what my cover page will look like regarding layout and color schemes. 

So I decided to go with dark colors but I would like to fix the F on fierce and make it more visible. I also would like to change the story title into a brighter color like teal. I choose teal because my image will have a woman in teal Nike pants. The color coordination will be strong.
I plan to have my magazine cover page done by Sunday and begin with my table of contents.

This is a pallet of the different shades, I was thinking of going with the top center color. It is the brightest teal and it will stand out. I think colors are beyond important when creating your cover page because you need to use images and colors that will grab peoples attention quickly.
As a magazine reader I think there are two ways to go with your magazine. I either like to see a nice color coordination with a color pop or a simplistic page with not tooo many colors but not too bland.



 This magazine has nice color schemes because it is all bland but the different designs in colors on her make the magazine appealing. Although I think the masthead should be a different color because it is slightly hard to read but other than that it is beyond appealing.

This magazine has more of a simplistic look. It is not too bland, it is classy and eye catching. I think it reaches who it is trying to reach.

Groupies!!!

Today was quite eventful
We met up in groups of four or five. In my group was Morgain Weintraub , Azhar Ali, Nicholas Yanez, and  Brian Kaye

We spoke about each blog explaining our ideas, themes, and future plans. Each person gave us personal feed back:

Most of my group liked my ideas of the different things I wanted to do with my blog. Azhar told me I should include a post about a cheat day and I realized many people want a flat stomach but don't want to do all the steps of getting it. Keeping a new diet is hard especially if you aren't used to controlling your eating habits. So in my magazine I plan to include that when I create my two-page spread.

I also got some feed back from Morgan about my blog layout. My explanation under my title is very hard to read because the color blends with the back round so I will change that. Morgan also showed me a website to create your magazine cover page with a theme that you can edit and change on your own.

Other than the minimal problems, my group liked my ideas and the different things I wanted to include. The feed back we gave each other was constructive criticism, I feel a lot better and open to new ideas. Seeing everyones blog showed me what I  can do differently and what I should continue doing. I know what I want to do is slightly difficult but I want it to be real and jaw-dropping. I will accomplish what I need to do and keep you guys updated.

According to my schedule (this week posted below again)
