A Bit About Me

I am currently a high school student undecided about my future career plan. I am passionate about various areas that do not overlap, like human rights and cognitive science, for example. Most people who like science tend to be passionate about strictly science subjects, but my strong passion for learning has led me to many different interests. I plan on going to a four year university where I can further explore all my passions and decide how I can use them together to make a positive difference. 

                                                  


   

During my free time, I enjoy exercising and listening to music. Regardless of what I am doing or how I feel, I always listen to music. Some of my favorite artists are J. Cole, Young Thug, Future, and Brent Faiyaz. Though my favorite genres are rap and r&b, I try to vary between other genres like gospel and soft pop.

I selected this class because in the midst of my many interests, I have always been curious about media production. There is so much that occurs "behind the scenes" that us, as viewers, do not realize. Whenever I watch a film or stumble across a magazine, I think about all the work and editing that was done for it, yet I just glance over the final product. I hope I can learn more about that process with this class.

Conventions

To learn more about the designing process of a magazine, I have done research on magazine conventions. They are features that compose a magazine (both the cover and the articles). Given that the front cover is what must appeal to people in order to get their attention, those are the conventions I will discuss in this post. Masthead: magazine's title which will usually be the larger text; the masthead is usually the first thing readers notice Tagline:  gives an idea of what the magazine focuses on Cover line: mention what is inside the magazine (may include attention grabbing names/topics that will attract audiences) Central image: a large image on the cover to appeal to people Cover model: person or people (usually in the central image) that will be included in the magazine Color scheme: the combination of different colors used in the magazine (including the font type/color) Barcode: placed in a spot where it does not take attention away from the other conventions (usually in one o...

Feature Story Draft

  “They would always look at each other with raised eyebrows before asking me, “YOU rap?”,” recalls Naijah Lynes. She grew up hearing scoffs and mocking jokes from people who doubted her as a young woman with aspirations of becoming a rapper. She “was used to always being the outlier, the only girl in a group of boys freestyling.” In the beginning of her aspirations, she would feel upset that her long hours of rapping in her room would be discredited by other people, simply because of her gender. “There need to be more female rappers for young girls like myself to look up to and feel encouraged,” Naijah claimed. “I hope to be that rapper for someone one day.”  She did not grow up seeing a lot of female rappers besides Nicki Minaj, Lil Kim, and Remy Ma. Lynes’ inspiration did not come from seeing rappers, as she started listening to them once she fell in love with rapping. “One day my friends were freestyling in the cafeteria during lunch. When it was my turn, it came to me nat...
