Blog post #10 Table of Contents Detailed Explanation

 

How I achieved the look

How I achieved the look of my table of contents was by taking a template from canva and edited it to my style. I uploaded pictures of myself in a formal look to go along with the cover and edited the font style to math. For the font style I changed it arapey for a more dignified and colored it a turquoise for a lighter tone. The layout was setup so the images were aligned with each other on the left side, while the tile "Table of contents" along with some blank text was set on the right side of the page.

Blog Post #4 First Thoughts on House Style

 First thoughts on House Style

What is House style?

House style is the various tools and methods companies will use to enhance the quality of their magazine covers.

Reflect on the idea of each magazine having a House Style.

Each magazine having its own unique house style is important because it gives the magazine cover its own identity and makes them more distinct from other magazine covers.

How do you think House Styles are developed?

House styles are developed using various techniques such as color pallet, fonts and typography, margins and white space, and graphics and logo's.

Why do you think House Styles are used? 

House style is used to enhance a brands image and to grab a person't attention

How might House Styles be influenced by their genre of magazine?

If the magazine were one that focused on beauty, the house style would be used to draw attention to the mode's appearance. Where as, if the magazine was one that was news focused, the font would be large to enhance a headline. 

Has this idea of House Styles changed the way you look at magazines?

Now knowing the amount of effort and the different techniques that hose style utilize's, my understanding and appreciation of magazines has grown. 

Reflection on Syllabus Blog#2

Three aspects I'm looking forward to in taking this course would be

1. The opportunity to design my own magazine filled with interesting and relevant topics 
2. To further develop my skills in writing and technology. 
3. And to be able to work alongside my peers on different projects

Three aspects I'm nervous about in this course would be

1. Having to present my work and be judged by my class on a routine basis
2. Needing to create up too two to three blogs each week on top of all my other class work
3. Having to work on a project with technology I am not completely familiar with

Concluding Statement

The main thing I hope to gain from this course is an appreciation of the value of using technology and social media as a way of expressing ideas to a wide audience.

A bit about me Blog#3

 My name is Diego  and I am a Cambridge student at my high school. I take pride and importance in my outward appearance so I may look pristine and orderly. I am a 1st lieutenant in the JROTC program here at my high school where I have been taught the values of honor, integrity and citizenship. I enjoy being able to spend time with friends and family, but also relax and unwind by myself. 

I want to attend the Florida international university where I will continue to work in the ROTC program and obtain my bachelors degree. Afterwards I would join the Airforce where I will enter as an officer.

The reason I am taking this class is so I can further my understanding of technology, social media, and research. I also hope to further improve my social skills and cooperate with others.
