Table Of Contents Draft (03/24/22)

 


    This table of contents occupies two pages as one continuous design to allow the complimentary image behind the text to support the theme established by the cover's background by similarity. A shade is added to prevent a lack of visibility of the text, which is divided into three groups; the light green title with an opacity fade effect to maintain continuity and create interest, the strong golden-rod titles of featured articles that contrast the typical ellipses leading to complimenting page numbers, and the additional pages for helpful information included in the magazine that, as indicated by a differently colored shade to encourage readers to continue, begins on the next page. I might change design slightly, font immensely, page numbers once I know what they are, and possibly remove the highlighted letters in the lower-left spelling 'weather' once unscrambled, although that could possibly be an interesting thing to include for observant readers.

Portfolio Plan (01/26/22)

     I planned the portfolio for my magazine by choosing a genre I was rather knowledgeable about and interested in, which likely wouldn't and ultimately didn't yield many notably popular or long-lasting sources. However, I had experience reading weather articles from books and websites, which had a picture-text symbiosis that never ran out of visual depictions of weather. In that regard, the idea has limitless potential and few boundaries, so creativity likely won't be a challenge of this magazine. The research, however, will be intensive and likely needs to be credited, and gaining information from interviews will be as difficult as usual.      The magazine is not meant to alienate non-weather nerds/enthusiasts, which would be easy to do (by presenting information mostly in a factual and interesting rather than purely statistical way), except for the lack of local or even general regional daily and weekly forecasts due to unlikely accuracy in forecasts is...

#14-Spread Plan

Image
     For the story on Typhoon Tip and Hurricane Patricia, the spread lacks a dominant or secondary photos, since I couldn't take a picture of a hurricane or hurricane-related conditions while planning the magazine. The headline is meant to be part of the article, possibly indicated by the addition of a comma to help the audience comprehend this while still keeping it at a larger font on a distinct colored background for it. The byline of articles in the magazine would indicate the sources as well as the writer, as these are informational articles, and would be placed at the end of each article. Rather than one 'feature story' (due to my varied interests and the wide variety of meteorological events that can occur in Spring in the U.S., there are planned to be two; this one, and one on Space Weather. Secondary content might include definitions and long-term forecasts. The Space Weather article will have a sub-section of information, as will the Tip v. Patricia article. ...
