Why I do not want people to be the main focus of my magazine

 I want my magazine to be comfortably read, which is why most magazines add people/models .
It is assumed that this allows the reader to connect with the magazine's ideas and buy more copies of the magazine if they celebrities or are popular.

Although on the surface level this looks good it inevitably fails as the magazine is relying upon those people for it's promotion. Without them the magazine is not much, readers will soon realize this and the only readers the magazine is left with are the masses that want to see the celebrities face.

Secondly when a magazine relies on the people who support it rather than its concept the core audience/target audience will distance themselves from it.
Talking about he achievement, rather than the people who achieved it will improve the magazine as a whole.

For a magazine to truly have a good life span a good concept/topic along with a layout that is easy for the eyes of the reader to follow is important. This has to be followed when creating/investing/planning for a magazine that has procedures/real life practice/studies in it.( Like carpentry, science experiments, art and studies like astronomy, geology.etc)

Layouts and easy to understand and remember illustrations/photographs are the key to such magazines.

Ryo Onishi :The animator who can bring life to the characters

I feel that I should have talked about him earlier!!! My favorite animator in Dragon ball Super : Broly , Ryo Onishi! He has animating skills which bring about animation which is very fluid,which goes well with the simplistic character designs of the main character designer Naohiro Shintani.Goku doing the his warm-up in the teaser trailer is the best example ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1rECVSJfQA ) CHARACTER DESIGN ), but  Goku eating doesn't fall short either(pic 1).The only jarring shot compared to other shots was Goku"s first clash with Broly (pic 2).He and Naotoshi Shida bring about the main fluid moments in the movie!!! PICTURE 1 PICTURE 2 I feel the success of the film was the director, animators and producers working in sync as well as the good schedule and budget which attracted even many freelance animators.The animator's work as well as the new line filter technology introduced at Toei animation helped bring the reall

UNREAL-BUT-REAL-MAGAZINE-SUBMISSION

My online magazine targets children above 10 years who have love for science and experimenting as I always did. The magazine will raise the curiosity of the reader and will also promote Science as a fun activity. My cover page idea is based on a thought I had "flight into the never before seen skies even past the clouds", this idea has the clouds as obstacles and the young boy getting through them with ease. The contents page's artwork came to be when this idea created another topic to work on " Onward to space!!" which is why I drew children riding on a Rocket to space. These thoughts and their respective illustrations symbolize the infinite possibilities that lie in science, and that it can be a very enjoyable journey if taken with the right approach. The Double Spread has a background of large water bubbles symbolizing infinite possibilities, and as the experiment is to do with water I felt this to be apt. The photos I have click

Sound editing, so how was it for me ?

I started with writing a story, that had elements that I could easily find as clips from YouTube. The story goes like this:"It is heavily raining along with lighting and thunder. During this rain a man is walking and sees a cat and attempts to shelter it until the rain stops. Birds start to chirp and crickets sing bringing the morning. The rooster roosts to wake every soul up as if it was declaring that everything is safe and the rain had stopped, signaling to everyone that they can come out of their shelters. Then the man walks to his farm where we can clearly hear the rooster after which we hear the cows and goats " The editing process was completely new to me and I had to go through trial and error and refer to tutorials which were of only five minutes length to ensure that I wasn't wasting my time.So I picked up on the things I had to do and with a few attempts I managed  to complete the project. I then asked my mom to listen to the clip. She said there was a
