Magazine Feature Article Draft: Typhoon Tip V.S. Hurricane Patricia; Two Types of Intensity (02/22/22)

     Super Typhoon Tip (or Warling) and Major Hurricane Patricia are two of the most insane storms to ever spin on the open seas (and both relatively recently, as well). Patricia's 215 mph and Tip's 190 mph winds make them beasts of even their intimidating nomenclature's kind, putting them well over the top of the Saffir-Simpson Wind Scale and (, in Tip's case,) the JMA scale. However, while tempestuous Tip and powerful Patricia brought winds that blow a breezy day away, a given storm's formal strength is also evaluated by another measurement.     Though  slower-moving and far more predictable than tornadoes, and therefore usually far safer to observe, o ne probably shouldn't try to venture into the eyewall of hurricanes -  unless you're a Hurricane Hunter, that is. Military reconnaissance flights are flown to measure weather conditions from numerous parts of cyclones, including the most intense portion closest to their center (- the eyewall).  ...

Magazine Analysis: Specific Genre - 2-Page Spread (01/31/22)

     This article/interview on storm chaser Mike Theiss is from an issue of 'Weatherwise'. It has an interview-based format expressed by bold text heading each paragraph posing questions that allow Mike Theiss to inform the reader about his job. If I were conducting an interview, this would be the format I'd use since it's more concise than 'Q:' followed by 'A:', separates main ideas so readers can efficiently gather the information they decide they want at a glance, and encourages a structure in responses rather than one stream of words that might be hard to sort out or comprehend in context. Possible disadvantages to this information layout are the limits on what the interviewed can express due to their inability to decide their own questions, which I would attempt to allow in the creation of an interview, and the editing process that doesn't necessarily guarantee that all that Mike Theiss' was able to say was shared either.       This appears ...

#14-Spread Plan

     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. ...
