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.

Comparing Music Magazine House Styles

Since I plan on creating a magazine dedicated to music, today I will comparing a few music magazine covers and their house styles. I want to take note on any similar patterns that I may notice in different brands. This type of research is essential because I want to create something original, but also appeal to my audience effectively.  First, I did research on the Billboard magazine. I noticed their masthead is a thick, bolded, and rounded font with all lowercase letters. Also, there is not a definite color for the masthead, as it changes for every issue. In late 2019, their magazine issues had a vertical masthead, but they have now changed it to appear horizontally (like most magazines). Despite this change, most of their magazine covers tend to direct all of their focus towards the cover image.                                                 Next, I looked into...

Evaluation Question 3: How did your production skills develop throughout this project?

Below is the link to my YouTube video: https://youtu.be/LEd999qH6-s  Transcript: Hello. My name is Kelly Lopez, and I will be answering compulsory question 3. The question is “How did your production skills develop throughout this project?” Personally, when this class began, I had no previous experience with photography or editing or design. Through the preliminary tasks, I was able to get a better idea of each step that will later on be essential to creating my magazine. I was able to know the sections that I was struggling the most with and that was the design layout. I struggled to create the layout because I was just overwhelmed with the endless possibilities to choose from, so over time, I learned to experiment with every feature that I liked and to see how the final product looked after I tried to experiment with it. And I tried to see how it would look and position wherever I was just thinking of. I - I learned about the importance of positioning different conventions throug...
