Project Selection- Magazine

I believe the magazine project is a good selection for me because I have always had an interest in magazines and print journalism. In my free-time I like to read through magazines, usually in the category of entertainment, fashion, or lifestyle. I am very neat, detail oriented, and love to write. I have experience in both photography and writing articles; and I always seem to have access to the most 'up to date' entertainment or fashion styles. In the last couple years, I have taken classes in photography and digital info technology, giving me experience in both areas. Also, I am currently taking a journalism class where I am writing articles of the SHS school newspaper, which is assisting me in writing excerpts, interviewing, and publishing a magazine style spread. Getting interviews may be one challenge for me, but I believe I have the right availability to find the best people. When watching and viewing magazines in this AICE Media Studies class, I learned a lot about the production of newspapers using print journalism and news channels through the film All the President's Men, and HBO tv series The Newsroom. Also, in an in-class project I got the chance to look at a magazine and analyze it. This helped show me the techniques and styles that are used to make a magazine, and why they make those decisions. Based on all my experience and things I have learned in this class, I believe a lifestyle type magazine would be the best project decision for me.
