Cover Magazine and Taking Pictures

            After creating a cover magazine, I realized it was still missing a few details, such as the title and the main picture. I took some time brainstorming what type of title would go with my magazine, eventually I decided to call it “Determination.” The reason why I chose this title is because in order to win in a match, the player must do anything and has to stay determined no matter what. It is an important part of sports that many athletes could relate to.


            However, I needed a picture that would also go with my title. I also needed the picture to be taken by me, and was not sure of how I was going to be able to do this. I decided to go to a school game that one of my friends played in and took pictures with a camera that I had. By the end of the match, I took almost a thousand pics and was able to take many good pictures, which will decide my main image. After analyzing each pic and doing the process of elimination, I was able to choose the picture that will go along with the title.


            In conclusion, I was able to not only successfully create my magazine but also improve my creativity. It was a learning experience that showed me how important it is to make every detail match the theme. Choosing the title “Determination” perfectly captures the idea of staying focused and driven, especially in sports. I also managed to take the perfect picture that I wanted for my magazine, which would also help me improve my photography skills. This process taught me how effort and creativity can come together to make something meaningful.

                 Here are the results of the magazine that I have been working on. I'm more than happy with how it came out; I was able to create the design that I always imagined from the beginning. The pictures were closely crafted to perfection, and my writing skills were put to the test. So please take the time to look at what took months to create and I hope you enjoy it as you flip through the pages.

Editing and Designing

For my magazine, I wanted to make it long, informative, and motivational since it is about sports. I decided to make it around 5-8 pages long and decided to draw out the design. I wanted to do a different design for each page so they can capture the reader's attention. I also decided to change the title to “INTENSITY” because the previous title, “DETERMINATION,” was too long a word for the title of the magazine. I also believe “INTENSITY” would fit better with what I will write about in the pages.              I decided to choose the top 10 photos that I liked and even edited them by fixing the lighting, since some came out a bit darker than others. I used an app called Lightroom, which it is used by many people to edit professional pictures. The way I chose the pictures is by looking at which ones would capture the players being “in the zone” and going shoulder to shoulder against their opponents. The reason I chose these types of pictures is s...
