Scheduling Photo shoots

The magazine genre we picked was sports, specifically sports in high school. We each chose a sport for our edition, I chose rowing due to the fact that this sport has a large presence in Sarasota and it is something that I am knowledgeable about. The difficulty with selecting rowing for my edition has to do with the timing. This time of year the fall season has ended, meaning there are no races left to photograph, and training has moved mostly to land so even practices are not an option. Although shots on the water would be ideal, I've decided to use shots I have from past regattas and take pictures of the land workouts. This means that my article will have to deal with what the rowers refer to as "winter training." Due to the fact that I am rower myself and can not take pictures of my team mates and workout. Therefore I will go on an optional practice day, specifically to take pictures.

Interviews & Questions

While working on developing my interview questions I had to decide what I wanted to write about. Due to the time of year I decided I wanted to write about winter training. A series of intense workouts that aim to make everyone on the team faster on the water. Due to the fact that I am a rower it was hard to ask questions, because I already know the answers to most of them, but I managed to come up with some 1. By your definition what is winter training ? 2. Do you think it is a necessary part of training ? 3. If you had a choice would you choose to winter train? 4. What is your reasoning ? 5. What is the most important part of rowing? 6. What is something that most people don't know about rowing ? I conducted these interviews either before or after practice.

Mid Term Submission

Contrary to the original plan for the Cover Page I changed the color of the font to white to make sure that the Title and Feature Article tittles were visible. In addition in table of contents I used one large picture rather than several small ones. I had to do this in order to fit all of my article titles on the table of contents. When I was creating the template I didn't account for the large number of article titles.

Revision-Cover page

According to my last post the cover page needed to be revised. This includes changing the title from Sota Sports to Soflo Sports. This makes sure that the magazine can have a larger audience and a more realistic chance of being a successful business. In addition I added a border and worked on the cover in Photoshop in order to give it depth in the title and an overall more sporty look. Finally we changed the font of the feature article titles. In this way the magazine title would pop more. Final Cover Page Original Cover Page Cover Page Template
