Creativity and Genre

  Throughout the week we have watched a Ted Talk on New Introductions as well as an article called; “An Interview with Ron Beghetto: Subtle Nuances of Creativity in Learning and Life”. After reviewing over these two things this past week it has opened my mind about what to do when it comes to the final project. The ted talk opened my eyes to see that when you repress challenges to solve problems; this helps me understand that if I run into a challenge while working on my final project I just need to readdress the issue. I have researched different magazines that have the same genre as the one I am interested in. I found things I do and don’t like about their magazines. I love how they all have big, bolded, and bright titles; as well as how the photograph on the cover page is not allows the same. Other magazines always have a model on the cover but when it is home living magazines it is always different and eye catching. The cover photograph changes day to day from...

After a while of going back and forth between working with a group or individually I found that a group would be easier. When it comes to projects I like working in a group whether than be myself as I found it better for me being able to have someone there for me to bounce ideas off of.

Last week when reviewing a social media of a peer account I have found Alexia Roe to be a very outgoing person. Her social media accounts show how outgoing she is and confident in herself. With the Lost at Sea activity it should me as one who works better with a group rather than induvial as well ...

Decision Day

  In the world we live in there are many different kinds of apps to use for both a movie or magazine project. After watching videos and reading articles on InDesign and premier pro, I have many mixed emotions about these programs. The role of InDesign is a publishing software application for creating magazines, flyers, newspapers, and books. It is mostly used by graphic designers, artist, publishers, and marketing professionals. Projects made in this program can be shared both digital or print formats. If I were to create a magazine with my group or by myself InDesign would hands down be the best option for this project. It would make a big difference using this program than any other program because it already comes with formats and it is made for making things like a magazine. If I were to use another program I could risk missing out on important details that InDesign may have. In magazines the most important page is the feature article, the storytelling, attentio...
