WHICH CONVENTIONS OF MAGAZINES DO I BREAK AND HOW?



Image result for text only science magazine           VS 
Although this is not a fair comparison as the former is just a page out of a magazine while the latter is a double spread.
Here I broke the convention by having illustrations in the background and pictures only at the key moments of the experiment's explanation( the materials required ). The pictures in the left side represent how the general set up would work and clarifies any doubts the reader has about the experiment.

 The text in the former( the magazine page ) is only there to give the reader awareness of the subject matter  rather than present it to them. It serves the same purpose as a news paper article which solely exists to give the reader the information in the cheapest and most easily accessible manner and make them aware of the current situation the human society is in.

Thus, I reiterate that all content creators and publishers like magazines have to keep in mind and target the photographic memory of the viewer/reader rather than using complicated fancy words that will just cross right from one side of their mind to another until they forget or even ignore them entirely. Powerful visuals are the modern day sugar cubes that people look for, and cultivate.

 The conventions that I intend to follow include column pattern, and text-wrapping around pictures. The invisible margins/borders and overall spacing are aspects that I will bend, but not break.

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
