Use of Conventions

Use of Conventions
My magazine challenges conventions of traditional magazines because each issue has its own set up, fonts, and style. While the name of the magazine and content is the same, the page set up, fonts, and over style are all different. Traditional magazines have the house style for every issue. Some magazine I have researched, such as Taste of Homes, have a different cover page, table of contents, and font style of every magazine. My partner and I decided that by making each magazine different, viewers would have something new to look at each week. Below are examples of how Taste of Homes uses different styles when creating the table of contents in each issue of their magazine. These images are followed by my table of contents for my project.

Table of Contents Template

TABLE OF CONTENTS Most magazines have similar table of contents template/outlines in each of their issues; however some, such as Taste of Homes, do not. My partner and I decided that each of our magazine issues would have a unique table of contents design. This way the reader sees something different each time they open one of our magazines. For my table of contents, I decided to use this picture I took while at Shore on Saint Armand's. Over the picture I created a table of contents title, as well as text boxes for each article title. Below is an image of the table of contents template, followed by the table of contents finished draft.  TEMPLATE DRAFT

Photo Shoot- Shore

SUNDAY BRUNCH AT SHORE For my visit/photo shoot at Shore Restaurant on Saint Armand's, I decided to go during brunch. Every Sunday morning Shore serves Brunch from 10am-2pm. They have a life DJ and a crowd of people every weekend that come in just for the special brunch menu. Included below is a picture of the brunch menu, from Shore's website.  CRUNCHY CHALLAH FRENCH TOAST For brunch at Shore, I decided to go with something I usually wouldn't order. The Crunchy Challah French Toast is a beautiful plate of four pieces of french toast and seasonal fruit, topped with a scoop of house made whip cream. My usual brunch meal from Shore would include a Kale Salad or the Shore burger, but for the purpose of the photo shoot I decided to go with something that would look great on the cover of a magazine. The Challah French Toast is a beautiful plate that I knew would be cover worthy! PHOTO SHOOT PICTURES  When taking pictures of the Crunchy Challah Fre...
