Aice Media Studies Magazine

Crew My team for picture taking will be me and my mother. She would drive me around the city and also keep her eyes out for strays. She would also drive me to homes of pet owners. She can also take me to pet shops. She has already started aiding me with my magazine, as I had to ask and explain to her why I needed her to take a picture of a cat on the grass as we were picking up groceries. To a lesser extent, my friends would help me get pictures by helping me prepare shots with their own pets. Post Processing I do not have experience editing, but today's modern technology allows me to tinker with contrast, colors, etc. I think I prefer leaving the pictures unedited, however, to show the blatant truth. I will not make a picture of a starving cat look cute with filters. This is what these animals look like, do something if you want it took look nicer. If anything, I have a friend that was trained in Photoshop, and he can assist me by teaching me how to improve shots. Types of ...

The pictures for my magazine will primarily be about animals, cats and dogs, in different settings and with different props. The following are my plans for carrying out my photo shoot(s). Idea The idea or concept or The Paw's pictures would be of cats and dogs in certain scenarios that visualize the topic being discussed. I will photograph both pets and strays, and have shots of them in a loving setting, a cold, alone setting, having fun, being anxious, etc. The idea is to have a split between those that are loved and those that are not, in attempt to improve the well being of animals in both sides of the spectrum. By showing a stray near a Walmart, you can see that strays are close to home, and how easily they can be supported yet are not, despite food, water, people, shelter, and toys being so close to them. By showing a cat eating one brand of food when faced with three brands, you can see which type of food your cat may prefer. Either way, the goal is to spread care. ...

Some time has passed, and I have reflected what Catster and Dogster has done, and I thought of my ideas. But thinking is for planning, now is the time for action. Font Choice I have mentioned it several times, but I think that having a serif font is a good idea because my magazine deals with serious topics (mistreatment of animals). Since serif fonts seem more formal, it matches with a more serious nature of topics, so I would like to use them for those portions of The Paw. I have recently decided to use sans-serif fonts, but for the more friendlier and happier portions about caring for pets. Sans-serif fonts have a friendlier effect, so I think it would match with the pages talking about loving and being friends with pets. For Titles: Abadi (around 48 pt) and Cambria (around 48 pt) For Subtitles: Abadi Extra Light (around 28 pt) Cambria Math (around 28 pt) For Copies: Franklin Gothic Book (around 16 pt) and Bell MT (around 16 pt) For Captions: Gadugi (around 11 pt) ...

The conventions and codes of a magazine are the signs with meaning and the accepted way of making it. My partner and I did sister magazines, Dogster and Catster, to precisely analyze these techniques. In doing so, we aimed to find techniques that we could apply to our own magazines. In terms of the cover, both magazines had an enlarged photo of a single animal (dependent on whether it is Catster or Dogster) towards the center. These visually tell viewers that the magazine will be about taking care of animals. We would keep this as it depicts purpose and theme in a simple manner, and it is also visually appealing. Catser's mastheads go for a serif font, and so does Dogster. The effect of such a font is evoking formality, but the style of the text is jovial at the same time. This means that it will be very enjoyable and pleasant to read, so we would both mimic this in our own work. For Catster, 2/3 of the issues has the main image (the animal) going over the masthead. Dogster only ...
