Magazine topic selection idea and why I decided to use it.

NICARAGUA MAGAZINE PROJECT

I decided to select the country where i grew up as the idea of my project because of its beautiful touristic areas, my knowledge of the country and finally my connection to it. When introduced the magazine project I never had a idea immediately, it took me a week to connect my mid together and think of a topic with a good amount of content, but also maintain fun for the reader but also my objective was to transmit the beauty I see; so I started plans to travel over to my Grandma in Nicaragua and that's where all the inspiration started to sprout. In conclusion I mostly chose this specific topic because Nicaragua played a vital roll in my development as a person and I felt like maybe it could help others.

In order to develop some of my design ideas I used reference from google; more specifically I began a investigation on touristic magazines while paying close attention to each design layout. At first id di not like the idea of searching references because I thought it would interrupt the flow of my ideas but later on it helped me more than I considered. From some people who thought like me I recommend taking tips and feedback, using references is not always bad.

According to the website Eagles.org there are over 9,800 male and female nesting, Its main causes of extinction were Habitat destruction, degradation and illegal shooting in fact the Bald eagle gained protection until 1940 by the congress and it was named “Bald and Golden eagle protection act” it consists of prohibiting hunting of any type towards the Bald Eagle, habitat protection to keep the Bald Eagle safe. Luckily now its species is expanding and is now safe form any danger due to the effort of the Americans. This image was used for the inspiration of the model.

Mise en scène Reading

Mise en scène is considered everything related to a certain film this includes its lighting, costumes, voices, actors and décor. During this quarter of school i spent time doing further research on why Directors use Mise en scène and how they use it, I came to understand that Film Directors make use of this in order to convoy their message to the public and deliver a feeling of curiosity to the public, this can relate to Stuarts Hall Theory because there is something the Directors want us to encode. In other words the publics perspective of the movie may depend on the setting directors have chosen. Example of Mise en scene As shown in the image above this is a clear example of Mise scene use, the props, lighting, costumes and the chosen place may give us a each a different view on what's happening. By observing the chosen vestment I can tell this was trying to resemble a scene from the past and the props also help me...
