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.  

Not Your Typical Golf Magazine

New and original ideas:

Because I´m doing a golf magazine I have to make it as original and entertained as possible, this sport is not as common to read for teenagers. So I have thinking to do it artistic combine with fashion. For the cover I was thinking to ask one of my golf friends to model for me and I would take action shots as they play. For my cover I want my picture to be artistic but also with the new clothe golfers are using. 
This link is from the Kingdom magazine and it shows the cover of some of their magazines and I want my idea to be similar but also my original idea, this is just to show you guys some ideas I´m thinking for my magazine.

This link below show some of the ideas I have in mind for the clothe to use for the pictures in my magazine. This  would help me to get inspire with the clothe and pictures. I would take the pictures in Weston Hills Country Club because 
I´m a member so it would be easier because I know the course very well and what holes are going to be perfect for the picture and the clothe to match it. For the pictures it would be ideal to be in the afternoon so that the clarity is on point and the pictures come out with a good quality. I plan to do all the pictures of my magazine in one day to I have time to edit them and have time to choose the ones that I really like. l

Aice media class discussion

Class Discussion:

On Monday  in aice media class our teacher decided to put the whole class into  small groups of people. My group had six persons and each of us presented our idea of film/ magazine through their blog. By doing this everyone got advice on how to make their idea better and more specific for their target audience. 
When it was my turn to present I put on my blog on the screen and talk about my idea. I wasn't sure if to do the magazine artistic or formal. Most of their advice was to do it artistic because of my target audience is mainly teenagers. I was thinking that to make it artistic I would do like a combination of fashion and golf. Through their ideas I thought to do like a magazine about how golf girls are dressing in this era. I think that for players like me, its very important to dress good and with comfortable clothe because we spend so many hours practicing or playing and we want to look good every time. For this I was thinking to go to a course here on Weston where I live and take picture of her doing different shots and also using different styles of golf that are what most of the girls wear on tournaments and on the daily. Also they liked my idea about the interview of the two players that are playing golf for their university. 

I thought this activity help the class a lot because of the advice of the others students, I think we should do the same discussion when the project is more advanced to see if the ideas are going well and  so we should keep going. I hope that the advice that I got from our class would really helped my project and make my idea more clear so that my final product ends the way I wanted to and also people ca enjoy it like I did creating it for my audience. 

Magazine Title

I have good news, I have finally decided the Masthead for my magazine. 

The name I choose is: Nineteenth Hole 

NINETEENTH HOLE

NINETEENTH HOLE

NINETEENTH HOLE

NINETEENTH HOLE

NINETEENTH HOLE

NINETEENTH HOLE

This are some types of font I was thinking to use for my magazine but I don´t know which one is going to stand out more. Also I don´t want the Masthead to be too simply or too attractive. I used this tone of green to indicate that it´s a golf magazine. This tone of green it´s mostly used in the golf industry. By using this green my target audience would instantly get the connection that the magazine is probably about something to do with golf. In the golf world the color green represents the golf courses especially the fairways. Im still deciding which one to use. Hope you guys like it 

Magazine Title

Masthead

I have been deciding all of  the content for my magazine and I completely forgot about the Masthead. I think the Masthead is one of the most important things of the magazine, the masthead is the focus point of the main cover. It  needs to be presented in a way that makes it stand out from all the competitors on the same shelf. I think the name should be easy to read and really catchy.

Also the font of the masthead should reflect the theme of the magazine. The color its also very important because a bright color would stand out more to the eyes. 

Some of the names I have brain storm are:

- Green Survival                                     - Partner

-Green                                                   - Caddie 

-Tee Time                                               - Mental Game 

-Balling                                                  - Score Card

-Golf Style                                              - Golf Era 

-Golf Life                                                - Stuck in Golf

-Nice shot                                              - Golf Talk

- Birdie Time                                          - Golfing World 

-Golf Swing                                            - Golf in Style

-Fairway                                                - Walking 18

-Nineteenth Hole                                    - Rough Day 

-Ready Golf 

So this is the list of a couple of names that come through mind right now. On my next blog I would reveal the name of my magazine I hope you guys like the one that I choose!!!!!!

My type of magazine

Ideas for magazine content:

I want to make my magazine a bit unique and also more entertained.  I have decided that for my magazine I want to do  a combination of an artistic magazine with also  interviews of young golf players. I have two friends that both are in a NCAA division 1 university playing golf right now, so I have decided to dedicate one part of my magazine in a interview of them so they can tell me their experience and what they would recommend to young players who are thinking of going this route. I think this interview would really be interesting because they don't go to the same university and one is a girl and the other one is a boy so they would have different perspective of their experiences. Also I think this interview would be very different from the rest because golf readers are used to read about famous golf players that already have their career so it would be different to hear young people perspective about their golf career playing for a team. 

By doing some research I found this website of questions to ask in a sports Interview of kids Athletes and I thought it was very interesting. http://work.chron.com/questions-ask-sports-interview-kid-athletes-14417.html
