final project

Nineteenth Hole Magazine

This is my magazine

 Here is my final product. I´m really happy in how it turn out. With this project I really learn a lot by using different tools and a lot of creativity. I think the content of my magazine is very useful and it would really help a lot of people who are struggling towards a sport. Also the rest of the magazine has tips for golf players in like what to wear and healthy food to eat while playing so that you have more energy. My magazine served my target because it towards teenagers from 16-18.

This is my CCR. In this link is my video answering the four questions and also me talking a little bit about my magazine.This project was a journey that I really enjoy doing it. Thanks to this class I had the opportunity to learn how to do new things that are mainly used in this generation. 
I choose to do a golf magazine because I´m a golf player and all the magazines that I have seen are for an older target audience so I thought that it would be really cool if my magazine target audience was toward the younger the generation which are the generation of the future. This magazine could bring more young teenagers into the sport and bring more attention to the younger players.

questions for Interview

Interview questions:

Golf Magazine questions:

1. When did you decided you wanted to play golf in college?  
2.  How do you manage to be a college athlete and also  study at the same time?
3. What would you recommend to the  upcoming  freshmen athletes?
4. What do you like most about playing golf in college?
5. How are student athletes treated?
6. Where do you see yourself after college?
   
   
   This are the question that I ask Valentina Haupt a friend who is playing golf for the Southern Mississippi university. This is her second year on the team so she really knows this process and would like to help others to achieve their goal. She answered the questions with a lot of thought and this could help people who are athletes who are going to play a sport for a University and are lost and nervous about this new experience that is about to come.
   
   
   
   
   

Cover done

Cover and Table of contents 

So this week I had a cover but I was not confident with it so I did 3 different cover and decided which one was better and it looks appealing. In this blog I would post my 3 main cover designs and the one that I choose.
Here are the 3 options:

For my table of content I started to do it yesterday. For my table of content I used as a help tool an actual golf magazine called Kigdom. I have the magazine at my house so I saw how artsistic golf magazine are and what I would need to do to make it better. Also it gave me new ideas for more content to write for my table of  content that would make my magazine more interesting. Also I was planning to have more pictures than words in my table of contents because I feel that pictures speak lauder than words. I feel people can relate to a picture and feel attracted to it and by this the magazine would attrack people who would like to visit a course and play it because its pretty and this would attrack tourist.
The content I'm planning to put on my table is:
1- main story (interview)
2- new outfits for the summer
3- Top 10 courses in Florida
4- Most common brand use in golf clothe
5- Healthy snacks to eat while playing

Sneak Peak

Magazine Cover 


In my photo shoot my main plan was to take pictures that best fit the cover of the magazine. Here I will post some of the pictures I took and some options that I´m considering for my cover. I might go this Monday to take more pictures and go to different holes so I get different angles. I think the lighting of the pictures were not so good. So I will go Monday in the early afternoon to get better Lightning. Also i would like to go another day so that we can have pictures with other clothing so that it shows different styles most girls use. On my next blog I would reveal the picture that I choose for the cover!!

PICTURE DAY

Yesterday I finally took the picture for my magazine. I went after school with my friend Gabi Soares to the Weston Hills Club. As we where playing we took pictures doing her swing like action shots. Also we took pictures of her modeling her outfit while we where playing golf. We had so much fun playing and also taking the pictures we had a fun day. The club has so many pretty holes that I think I would have go back and take more pictures of her and the course so that I have more options and I can play a little more with the pictures and the design of my magazine. 

Yesterday, I started doing the cover and I did the Masthead. I spend a pretty long time doing it because I tried so many fonts because in the app Canba there are so many options. I chose a template that I think is very artistic and it would go very well with the type of magazine I want to produce. I would recommend this app because its very very good and its easy to access and easy to chose from the many options they give you. 
On my next blog I will show you guys some pictures from my photo-shoot and hope you guys would like it. 

Second Class Discussion

Class Discussion:

On this past Wednesday we had a second class discussion. This time it was a smaller group of 3 to 4 people. My group had 4 people. This time we discussed more about our process and the things we have done through out this past week. With my group each one of us talked of our process. 

When it was my turn I talked about my project and explained my ideas. Because my target audience are teenagers they told that for my table of contents it would be better if I put more pictures and less words so that is more artistic and also targets my audience.  I did some research about how do it and I got good ideas through Pinterest.  

The link is below.

By looking at this website it gave me different ideas that combine may look very good and artistic and that is my purpose. Also by searching this I found a website to do my magazine and I´m so excited. On my next blog I will talk about it more.

PLANNING

First I want to talk about all the changes I have done in this week. 
I think what helped me the most was the discussion we had in class with the students of the class. This discussion was an eye opener. They made me change my target audience to teenagers because golf as I have talked about before, golf  is a sport commonly known as a old guy sport so I want to make it for teenagers  so that the sport would have a new target. I want to make my magazine as colorful as I can to bring the attention. Also I think that if I have too much writing is going to get a little bit boring. 

For the pictures I want to make it as artistic as I possible can. I would use all the techniques I have learned through out the year. This post is going to be shorter than the rest of the post because I´m planning to take the pictures on Monday and try to do as much as I can this week to have it almost done before the week is due.
