I am suppose to write a blog for my yearbook class. I decided to promote my second blog called faith, family fashion and friends. I decide to create this blog because that is what I am all about. It's fouryoumagazine.blogspot. I decided to name it four in stead of for because it is four people in my family my two children and my husband and I. I love my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, my family, fashion the new and the old and friends. I called it the magazine because I wish to one day publish a Christian Magazine. I will get there one day and I think this is why I decided to take this class. It brings out the creative side in me. I love this class and it has brought me true joy. My career will consist of publishing, creating, and promoting. We are currently working on a mini-yearbook project which has been very exciting. On mini-year book will look like a magazine. Because of my love for magazine I deicide to share my passion with others. Here is a how to create a mock trail for a magazine and eventually publish it on the big scale one day.
How to create a magazine!
Get a group of people to help writer, photographer, designer, and a copy editor. Or you can really do this you self but to make it easier it is better to get help
Get your topic, theme, ideas. Map them out who is the target, audience, the purpose. If you are doing an article about dogs it would not be okay to have a story on the war in Baghdad unless dogs are in harms way.
Contact a publisher (if you are going small you can do this from home with a good laser printer, or contact or office depot)
kinko's)
Get stories, contact contributors to write on your topics (friends and family, teachers, cousins they should have a interest in the topic)
Have the designer get to work, Layouts, graphics, designs, fonts, sizes
Have photograper take pictures that pertain to each story topic. Make in interesting and not boring.
Get everything on print to see details, errors, possible mistakes or remakes of photos, captions, and written work.
Have fun and await the final project,
Pass out the Maganize for free and then once you get a lot of comments get add's and sponsors
Go big even global have fun take it one day at a time.
Have the copy editor look over all finished work.
