Can you tell me more about how you integrated technologies, software, hardware, or online in your project? So, this whole project was done virtually. Um, I did use different technologies and hardware and software to you know conclude this project. Um, for instance, I used my computer throughout this whole process. Um, and I was able to do research on google, and obtain information on how a magazine should be produced and what makes a magazine. Um, I used blogger.com to um just kind of have a set up of what I wanted um, ideas that had come up with, any updates of where I was at, and just update my audience on what I was doing in that moment. Um, and then I also used um Canva.com, which allowed me to create my magazine. I mean most of my magazine was done on Canva.com um because they had formats that allowed me to make my magazine as realistic as possible.

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.
