     When creating any piece of  work  it is extremely important to think outside the box. It’s a necessity to think in ways no one would anticipate. In the article by  Michael F. Shaughnessy, An Interview with Ron  Beghetto : Subtle Nuances of Creativity in Learning and Life, Sept 2020 (Vol. 22, Issue 3 ); He  stated,  “creative self-efficacy does seem necessary for taking creative risks, sustaining efforts, and trying again after setbacks.” I strongly agree with this statement because creative self-efficacy is about our confidence to perform creatively on a specific task, without  it  people might lack passion for taking those creative risks and could lack performance skills.         “Sports Illustrated” will be my inspiration when creating my personal magazine. I researched and discovered the co-editor is split between Steve Cannella and Ryan Hunt. Steve Cannella was known for being the executiv...

       After a couple of  activities,  I quickly realized the immense weight on my shoulders I would be carrying if I chose to work with a team. My portfolio project is extremely important to me, so I  don’t  want to have to rely on someone on a major assignment or have someone else rely on me. On past team/group assignments in my  additional  classes I have found it incredibly difficult to collaborate via zoom call.

The  objective  of the project was to pick out what would be the most useful ...

        I personally have always been superior at technology than the average person, although when came to Premier Pro I felt like a failure. There were too many different tools to use that I couldn’t seem to get the handle on. After listening in on the YouTube videos played, I still couldn’t seem to figure out the abundance of tasks that are needed to create a video on Premier Pro.  InDesign although I was able to easily access the tools needed in order to create a magazine.          I’m able to navigate InDesign more efficiently, due to the program having similar features to  Photoshop . The tools that are the same and or alike include the text, eyedropper, hand and rectangle tool. I’m able to easily work with these tools, due to the knowledge I gained when I took photography and had to use the  Photoshop  program. Also, the font tool excites me, due to often experimenting, with different font types to create ...

     When I passed magazines at the grocery store, I never realized how much thought was put into just the illustrations on the cover pages, much less the advertisements and articles it must contain inside. In the article by Michael Scherer,  Chances are you won’t bother to read this article... , November-December 2002 (Vol.41, Issue 4)  it stated an interesting fact that, “editor Ed Needham admits that he doesn’t even bother to read long articles in magazines.” This piece of information indicates how important it is that authors relate to different demographics accordingly in order to sell any magazine.           In the  Oprah Magazine  her cover page is warm and inviting. Her feature article titled  “Joy in the Mourning”  entices people to learn what she has to say, due...
