Weekly Check-in!

This week was rather productive and I surprisingly had no issues. I think I managed to get a good draft of what my cover is going to look like as well as an idea for how I want my table of contents to look.


I honestly am incredibly proud of myself for the outcome of the cover but am still debating on a few things such as the "The Winter Issue" at the bottom left. I'll show my artsy friends and ask for feedback!

Today, I got some really helpful advice from a dear senior friend of mine who knows a fair amount about this kind of stuff.

And the title on the cover should be larger (think about Vogue or Rolling Stones)." I will be applying these comments to my next edits, so stay tuned!

I was inspired by Tastemakers for the left page. This time I also categorized the page on the right by Features, Reviews, and Niche—which will include parts of the feature of the month, quizzes, and more. Spread:

What will go in my table of contents?

In order to fully finish my table of contents, I realized that I had to decide what will go in it, because despite the fact that I will only be creating one spread of the magazine, the whole product will have several things, so I decided to brainstorm and come up with different ideas in these following sections: Features -  Women Empowerment Through Music (Becky G, Natalie Natasha, Srta Dayana, etc.): an article on how several female artists are using their art (music) to empower women--with topics of breakups, sensuality, being unapologetic and more in their songs. - The Origin of Our Salsa Roots Opinion Pieces -  Reggaeton Article: an article either on whether listening to reggaeton is good or bad (the stuff it's associated with and whether it makes you "less cultured," etc.) or an article on how toxic reggaeton is (the toxic masculinity, degradation of women, etc.) - Why Pitbull will never run out of style?: what it means for him to have gotten the "Mr 305...
