I am proud to present the first draft of my magazine: The Young Man's Culture

Production 4- Article Writing and InDesign

 I am getting a hang of InDesign as well as in the process of writing my feature article. For InDesign I am having one of my good friends assist me in getting the basics down and will start to move things from my story board to my actual magazine. I've played around with InDesign before but my friend will really help me bring everything together. As for my feature article, with my interview down it should be smooth sailing as I am generally pretty good at writing. With all of the information I was able to get from Brandon I believe the process should go smoothly and I should be finished in no time.

Production 3- Final Feature Article Interview

 Last Friday I was able to interview Brandon Gomes and it went fantastic. He postponed it once, but I was able to interview him during a haircut he had scheduled. I was able to ask a good amount of questions, most that I had previously typed up but some that I thought up while talking to him. He was very relaxed and laid-back with a sense of coolness about him. It was a little difficult to hear everything he was saying from the audio recording I took, but I was able to type the answers that I could not hear too well. After the approximate forty-five minute long conversation, we went outside and I was able to take some cool photos from low angle shots as well as some pictures with his Tesla. Overall, it was a great experience and I believe he was the perfect candidate for my magazine.

After I responded the next day, he didn't reach out to me for two weeks so I messaged his manager, " Happy New Year! I know it can be busy this time of year but do you think Brandon could be available sometime in this next week or two? My teacher is on my back with due dates and things of that nature so if you could let me know asap it would be much appreciated. Thank you!" The next day he responded with, " Yeah let me reach out and see if we can do it this week." This would be ideal because it would give me enough time to write and concur up some questions as well as have enough time to write the article. *As I was writing this he proposed for a meeting tomorrow to which I have accepted. I am hoping to have a conversation that flows easily as well as answers to all the questions some of my readers may have. I also hope to get good pictures that I wil...
