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 so the reader can see the passion behind the sport and how each player is willing to give it their all to win the game.            Once I had chosen the pictures, I started planning my layouts for each page. I wanted to keep the readers hooked by making each page stand out. I had already researched different types of designs made online, so I already had an idea of how I wanted my magazine to look. I would first draw it out on a sheet of paper so it would be easier for me to create the layout online. Once I had the designs, I started working on each one. Overall, I was able to make a huge amount of progress, and I even learned how to edit, which could be useful for other occasions.
