Magazine:

Magazine spread research:

This is only one page, but still, there is a lot
 of things on here. There two pictures overlap,
both being bright and colourful, and the text
may only be in simple paragraphs, but it's clear
to read and understand. I think this magazine is
 targetted for holidaymakers.

I really like this spread, because it is mainly one
 huge photograph and it's clear to me that this is for a landscape
magazine. And there is one small paragraph at the top right,
making this spread look easy to make. I think this is targetted for
landscape photographers.

This lion looks very humourous, because his mane is brushed/blown back. I really like this spread, because even though the picture of the lion fills almost all of it, the text  still explains a lot of the information. And the heading is very African-like. This ne, I thinnk is maybe for those who like animals... wild animals. Plus, photography.

My idea:

Since this magazine/photography project is about "expressing myself"... Then, why not express myself with nature and animals? 

For example:

I'm a cat person, so why not take pictures of my cats?

Then, I could take pictures of my favourite landscapes/places. Like the Wildlife Park (there is a playground there called "The Enchanted Wood", which is like a fantasy place... I'm into Fantasy) or any of the Glens on the Isle of Man or maybe add some other things that reflect on who I am... Although I can't really show my Alter Ego, Seth.

 Sorry, Seth...!!

Places that I could use in my project:

Ballaglass Glen - Fantasy-like. Where "The Beast of Ballaglass Glen" lives.

Silverdale Glen - Where my written stories of alien fantasy began.

Peel Castle - Isn't it obvious? Ol' Moddey Dhoo lives there!

Wildlife Park - "Enchanted wood" playground, wild animals, cafes, etc...!!

Sulby Reservoir - It's close to my home village.

Tholt-y-Will Glen - A glen close to home. It gave me inspirations to write and illustrate a story that I did last year for the summer project: "Fynn and the River Serpent".

Cronk Summark - Landmark in Sulby named by the Vikings/Celts.

Here are some screen shots of my work in process:

This is my absolute favourite spread page.  Mainly because of the photo that I used in it.

This still nedd development...

So does this...

And this does as well...

All done on InDesign~

Here's an update on one of the pages:

Still need to finish this...

I de-sized the images from "big" to "smaller...?" And I found some text that looked like Manx writing (in a way). The columns are different sizes, because of all the "fitting-the-pictures-into-the-right-place-as-well-as-the-text", but it all looks fine to me...

Now to do the rest of the magazine...!!
