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.

Evaluation Question 1: How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?

 Below is the link to my YouTube video: https://youtu.be/dDTCcIevXUc   Transcript Hello. My name is Kelly Lopez, and I will be answering compulsory question 1. The question is "How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?" Throughout my magazine I incorporated images such as the cover image on the cover page. I had mastheads, a barcode, subheadings, a tagline, an issue number, a date, columns, editor information, and even color schemes. I maintained the color scheme throughout the cover page, the contents page, and the double page spread. I kept my fonts the same for my cover page as opposed to using alternating ones throughout. I felt that this helped make my cover more aesthetically pleasing and more simplistic. I tried to ensure that any images featured were always the center of the attention in the design. In one way or another everything else on the page ensured that the readers stayed captivated and that they focu...

Genres

Today, I have researched various popular genres of magazines. Before magazines became mainstream, they were only accessible to higher classes because of how expensive they were. During this time, there were not many magazine genres to choose from; most genres were focused on literary and educational topics. When the cost of mass printing decreased, magazines became more affordable for working class as well. It was during this time that a larger variety of magazine genres became more popular.  Literary magazines were one of the main magazines that existed. They focus on the publication of various literary works. This type of magazine is more inclined towards educational purposes.  News  magazines are informational. They discuss important events that are occurring. Many news magazines have conformed to current times, so they are now online.   Science magazines are a popular type of magazine that are still commonly known. These tend to be less formal, but are also edu...
