While in the process of finding the Theme for my Magazine, I was told to create a list of 10 possible themes for my Magazine, and I was told to view a few business websites and compare them by their Fonts, Colors, Photography Techniques, Target Audiences, and Overall Messages. Here some examples of the Websites: By doing this assignment, I was able to conjure up some ideas of what I would prefer for my Project to look like, and what kind of audience I am willing to target. After that, I was given a Theme Worksheet to work on in the middle of October.

When I had to work on my magazine, I had to choose if I preferred to work alone or in a group. Overall, I chose to work alone, because I didn't want to risk mistakes being made among me and my companions during the magazine making process, and I didn't want to risk warfare or disagreements in general, I wanted to be able to control what happens in this Magazine. I'm open to ideas, but I'm scared of my ideas being thrown away since it has happened multiple times to me in my life. But after finally decided to go on my own, I had to choose the theme for my magazine. This was the more collaborative part of the project as I had to look at examples of good Magazines and discuss among my classmates. Along with this, I was given very educational assignments that led me correctly on the path of choosing a Theme. I had assignments that involved responding on Padlet, making Powerpoints, and even viewing Magazine examples on my own.
