A Bit About Me

As a child, I've always loved expressing myself through my writing or even oral communication. It was and continues to be releasing and often helped me self-reflect, however, I was consistently told that what I had to say had no value because I was "just a child". Further, into my development, I chose to refrain from giving out my unwanted opinions. With time I realized that what I had to say was just as important as any other person. I chose this class to encourage my self-expression and get in touch with my creative side. I would describe myself as an ultimately bubbly person who loves being outdoors, acknowledging my present moment, and giving gratitude to all that I have. In the future, I hope to take Buddhist studies and study abroad.

Conventions

 Magazines require certain conventions that they all need to follow. I will mention and explain them below.  •Nameplate/masthead- The font that makes the magazine recognizable. It is specifically designed to attract an audience.  •Taglines- Taglines are used to show what the magazine is about. •Coverlines- Coverlines mention the topics included. •Central image- The central Image draws an audience before they can even read the magazine.  •Cover model- Cover models are usually celebrities that have a strong connection to the magazine's genre.  •Color scheme- The color scheme is used to target a demographic.  •Barcodes- Barcodes are used to Identify your magazine.                  Reference: https://www.slideshare.net/shsgmedia/magazine-conventions-andterminology                                           ...

First Thoughts on House Style

   I believe that House Styles have contributed to making magazines organized, as well as attracting an audience. Magazines use House Styles so that they are able to attract their demographic. House Styles might be developed by grouping individuals and having them decide who they want to target, what they want to portray, and how they want their audience to feel. The genre of the magazine influences the House Style because they want to establish a different feel depending on their topic. Therefore, they might use contrasting color schemes, coverlines, and cover models if their magazine genre was gardening or business.
