Term Submission

    We developed our magazine by choosing the photos, the layouts, the article topics, and much more in a way we felt fit what we were trying to show best. All of these choices had a reason behind them, I felt they were the best choices because I felt that they fit our magazine best and what we are trying to sell to our audience. We kept the look of our magazine very clean and simple, so it wouldn't become too distracting, but had enough boldness and color to make it exciting.

Photo Shoots

     I will be photographing different fish, different locations My group and other friends went fishing, and I picture of the place I interviewed. The process of scheduling was a little difficult since everyone has school, sports, and other things going on in their life. So we would break our photo shoots between different days and times. Until we finally had a good assortment of pictures we were happy with.

 
 

 

Locations for photo shoots

    For this project, I went to couple different beaches and parts of the bay. We went during all different times of day for different lighting and see what different types of fish came out. The ones I end up using will show different places in Sarasota, at different times of day, and when scouting out these locations I had many different people helping me and showing me some good places to find the best fish.

Interview

    I thought a lot about who I wanted to interview and why I wanted to interview them. When I finally decided about who I should interview, I wanted to get a perspective on for the article I am writing about which is about red tide. During red tide in Sarasota I thought the people who would of taken the hardest hits would have been our local restaurants near the water. I decided to talk to Alex Goldman, a manager at one of Sarasota's most popular restaurants called Shore. When I told him about what I was doing he made it very easy for to sit down and ask him a couple questions. I thought    about a few questions I could ask him, my final questions that I asked were how much did the red tide affect their restaurant, how did they try to over come the red tide problem, and did they think red tide was as bad as it was claimed to be. These seemed to be key points on the red tide issue and how it effected our community.

Flat Plan

    For my flat plan I included many different types of articles about fish to fishing to equipment. I wanted to give a variety so the magazine to appeal to someone just wanting to know a little about fish or someone who has been been fishing for their whole life. The variety of different articles, it can cater for all ages and genders. About half of my flat plan includes ads, which is very similar to what I saw in most magazines I researched. The ads were very much back to back, the only separation were articles, or sometimes they would put ads on within the articles. That's why I felt it was important to include many ads within my magazine.

Table of contents

   For our project my group members and I created our table of contents with five articles on pages that vary throughout the magazine. In the magazines I researched, most of the table of contents offered the main articles and they varied between different pages. In our table of contents, we are included two images. Most table of contents we compared to ours had two to four pictures included promoting ads or some of the articles. I felt it was best to have two images, so the readers were not too distracted from the articles that were inside our magazine. Our table of contents title is the same as our cover title because it is very bold and eye-catching, then used a more standard font for our articles to have a more clean and simple design, so it does not seem too busy. 

Cover template

   The title for our article is called Florida Angler. One of our group members, Kyle Manitz, came up with the title Florida Angler. Kyle has been fishing for over ten years, so he has been able to pick up different types of terminology and techniques of the years. We all agreed that since we live and all of our research and pictures were taken in Florida, that should be apart of our magazine. Kyle also had mentioned how "Angler" is another word for fishing. So, when the four of us heard the two words together, we thought it sounded right. For our cover we have two different fonts, blackoak std and brush script std. We chose these fonts because the main article title and the title of the magazine are much bigger and more bold, giving a contrast to the smaller articles showing that they have less significance.
