Magazine post 6

The group decided that we are going to have a photo shoot on the fourth of November. I am going to use a kid named Ryan. Ryan is a good model because he is a good runner that people in the area will know. He will still require anchorage because he is a local runner. I have decided that I am going to use Tinman elite as an advertisement and sponsorship for my magazine.This is important because many runners can relate and look up to Tinman elite.
As I stated in a blogpost earlier, I want the runner that I feature to embody running. Ryan embodies the part of running that makes you continue to run. He is such a fun personality and you need a personality like that to succeed as a runner. It helps you push through injury and tough durations during running when you are just not feeling it. Through it all Ryan has made me laugh more times than I can count and allows me to relax when I run. He has also persevered through injury. Overall, Ryan is someone I am proud to have on my cover page.

Today I focused on the pictures and design type I want my photos and cover to have. I think a full shot will be most effective for the title. I think a close shot wouldn't blend well with a running magazine. All of the running magazines I have researched appear to actually show the runner in action rather than just their face. I want my photos to encompass the runner I am doing my article on. I want my photos to reflect what being a runner really means. It is vital that I get the message across that running is not something that has to be dead serious and it doesn't have to be something you have to do. It can really be enjoyable.
I believe that who ever I pick to do my story on has to embody what running should be about, having fun and being social. You have to be serious when required but on the whole you should enjoy every minute of running. I think my photos will embody what it means to be a runner. The rewards and enjoyable moments of running will be evident in my magazine.

Today, we again focused on looking at magazines. I have recommitted myself to college commitments. I think this is an important aspect to consider when assessing the topic my team and I have chosen. A big part of being a high school running is hoping that one day running opens up pathways for you. It would resonate well with our intended audience which is high school runners all over the country and specifically runners that are located down south.
We have established what the direction of our magazines will be in terms of the font. It is obvious that the font needs to stand out. We are separately working on the magazines but we still need to make our titles uniform as to increase our magazines feeling of professionalism. We are working separately on creating our puffs for our magazine covers. We have established what our title is going to be: The Distance Project. Beyond our title we have not thought of much other than the accompanying puffs. We hope to begin working on photography soon.

Today we focused on learning about popular house styles. We came to the conclusion that most running magazines have a very simple house style. We also devoted some of our time to learning about the technology we would be using to create our magazine. We believe that we will be using a more bold house style than most magazines. In addition, we want to use multiple styles in our respective magazines.
I am not sure what fonts I am going to use to bring a different sort of vibe than the other popular running magazines that are already being produced. I understand that I have to make my magazine stand out from other magazines but I am not sure exactly what I will do to make this happen. I am going to have to sort through different fonts to find the right meaning and purpose.

Today we talked about what each individual group member was going to focus on. We already have our overall topic high school running. We just needed to focus on what each individual was going to focus on in their particular version of the magazine. Nick decided to focus on track. Robbie is focusing on cross country. I was focusing on cross country as well but I was going to make sure that me and Robbie's magazine covers differ.

However, later during class we decided that I am going to focus on the post-season aspect of cross country. This means that I will focus on the "playoffs" of cross country. I will also go over commitments by cross country runners in our area. Robbie is going to just focus on the cross country regular season.

My group and I have decided to focus on running for our magazine. We chose running because we can all relate to it as we all run for our high school team. After making this decision we decided to look into different running magazines for inspiration. Runners world stood out to us because of the bold font in the house style they use. This magazine also stood out because it used contrasts to promote the runner in the image.

This first day was just about getting to know one another as a team. We just browed popular running magazines looking for good qualities that we might want to incorporate into our own separate magazines. Runners world was a good magazine but we wanted to expand our knowledge on this particular genre. So I also looked into other magazines ,such as Running Fitness, for inspiration.
