1) The idea is to do magazine with illustrated histories for moms read for their kids when they are going to sleep. It is like a book with a lot of small histories but in a maga-zine shape, it’s published monthly with different histories, so that the mother always will have a new his-tory for her kids. In this magazine the histories are designed like articles, they have big quotes, a big headline, and a small photo, in that case an illustration, of who wrote it.

Names for this magazine: small mag; zine; once upon a time; big fish; small fish; and then... & tell me a history.

b r i e f

2) This magazine is a magazine about ballooning, the focus idea is to show experiences of the ones that went ballooning, places to do, tips... This is magazine for the ones that are used to do or the ones that are interesting in doing it.

Names for this magazine: balloon-ing; on the sky; flying & up.

b r i e f

3) This is a young backpack travel’s magazine, and it tells personal ex-periences, show some cool routes to do, help you to find where to go...This is a magazine for the ones that already do this kind of trip, so it dont show basic things about how to do a backpack trip, but es-sentially shows some great places to go and some tips. This is a ca-sual and youthful magazine.

Names for this magazine: next road; road 101; 5000 km; ahead; next; favorite routes; away; far

I chose to do the magazine with histories for childrens. The target audience of this magazine are the childrens and their parents, more focused in their moms.

After discussing in class I decided that the name of the magazine would be Small Fish, referring to the movie Big Fish.

What this project requiers:

Design the magazine logotype, the cover, spine, contents pages and two spreads of a feature article.

Cover:

For your Cover, you must write and include at least 3 coverlines, barcode, Volume/Issue information, and perhaps a tagline which further defines your magazine.

Contents page:

The articles listed on the Contents page should be realistic and must contain all the usual information found on a typical magazine Contents page, i.e., two or more photos, 6 or more stories, bylines,

p r o j e c t

tease copy, 6 standing department heads, folios etc. Your stylesheets should be consistent from start to finish in your magazine. Contents may be two right hand pages or a single spread.

Article page:

Your Article opening spread should, first and foremost, be attention-getting to the extreme. It needs to capture your readers’ interest visually as well as in terms of content.

The spread should have an intriguing headline, subhead(s), photos with captions, and folios. You may also use pull-quotes and graphics for interest. Write yourown headlines and subheads and pull text from other resources.

The Little Musical Band

There was a girl called Martha. She was not that tall and neither that small. She had curly long brown hair and lighting chestnut eyes which her mother believed to be her grandpa’s eyes.

Martha’s grandpa was called Tulio and in spite of his seventy-four years of living on Earth, there was a lot of energy in his mind and body. He loved to spend the time he was not reading with Martha.

It is important to emphasize where did grandpa Tulio live. Beginning from the beginning, the house was near the sea and outside of it there was a field of bright green grass where Martha and grandpa

a r t i c l e

Tulio used to have their morning sunbathe, laid on the wooden benches.

Inside the yellow house there was a big living room and a cozy kitchen where Martha’s mother used to cook a lot of cookies. A large stair next to the kitchen led to two floors. On the first one there were the three bedrooms and a bathroom and on the second one there was grandpa Tulio’s old workshop. Martha did not know exactly why but that room had been closed over the previous months. She found it very odd as grandpa Tulio loved to create and design new ideas of his own mind but concluded he was just into a reading mood.

There was one day of Martha’s summer holidays when she was bored and couldn’t think of anything for her to do and have fun beside the old toys that she was already tired of. Grandpa Tulio was sitting in the sofa reading the newspaper when Martha approached him. Although she knew what to ask, she pretended not to and laid her head on grandpa’s lap. The silence didn’t last long till grandpa Tulio say:

- Ok, little girl, come on, tell me, what is on your mind? What do you want to ask me? - Grandpa Tulio knew Martha very well.

- Oh, no, grandpa, it’s nothing, nothing for you to worry about.

a r t i c l e

- OK, in that case I will continue reading the spor- at that time Martha interrupted him asking and almost yelling:

- I need something to do! I can’t stand looking at the same toys everyday through all these summer holidays I have been spending here! If only you would make me a new doll... !

- Wow, OK, sweetie, you don’t need to react screaming like this. To tell you the truth I know exactly how you feel. I was so tired of doing the same things that I even abandoned my workshop on the second floor to read. Well, I love reading but is not that exciting, if you know what I mean. I don’t have an answer for you right now

but I am willing to find a new activity for us! Are you with me?

By that moment, Martha was already standing on the sofa and with a big smile on her face she said:

- Oh yes, grandpa Tulio! Of course I am with you! Let’s go! Let’s fight the bears, lions and snakes to get the adventure we need!

- Darling, I don’t think I can still fight the lions but what about exploring outside the house?

- OK, let me put my shoes on... - Martha took a look around but could not find her shoes. She went upstairs in her room and also it was not there.

a r t i c l e

- Where are my shoes!?

- Where are your shoes!?

They were really looking for Martha’s shoes but their excitment about the idea of doing something different was so high that they were almost singing while running through the house after her pair of shoes.

Acctualy, they were singing! Suddenly, they noticed that a song was coming from their imagination. Martha sang “they are walkin’ shoooooooes!” over and over while grandpa Tulio added “nearly two minutes ago I could see them, and now I can’t!!” They found the melody really grooving and the different way to have fun in that

afternoon would be composing a song!

Quickly, they sat at the table and, on a piece of paper, grandpa Tulio wrote down what Martha was singing from the bottom of her heart. In the end, the song was like this:

They are walkin’ shoesNearly two minutes ago I could see themAnd now I can’t

They are walkin’ shoesWhat are they Trying to say that I can’t understand

To step a little bit furtherTo walk a little bit slowly

a r t i c l e

What to do with youLet me jump!

A few minutes later, grandpa Tulio went upstairs to his old workshop and took the little guitar he used to play in the 70’s. The song was great with him playing the guitar and Martha singing but they were still a little fustraded, missing the rhythm and the groove. Then it was when Martha came with an idea:

- I just know! Let’s call our neighbour Denise to play the bass! Uou, wait, and what about her cousin Marco to play the piano? I think we still have that old one upstairs... !

- Ok, so if we are going to form a

band, let’s make it the best band of the neighborhood! I will call the baker’s son, Phillipe, to play the drums and his brother Peter to play the guitar.

- And what about you?

- I will do the best part, the scenario, the lighting and the costumes for the great show!

- Wow! A show? Like a real concert? Awsome!! And... well, OK! If that is what you call the best part, go ahead. I will manage to arrange the rehearsals!

A week later everything was done! Grandpa Tulio reopened his old workshop and made all the pieces that would compose the stage

a r t i c l e

behind the musicians. The wooden flowers, the fabric birds and the colourfull lighting balls.

Minutes before the beginning of the presentation, the members of the band were a bit nervous but the delight of presenting themselves to the city was the most extraordinariuos feeling they had ever felt. And because of that feeling, and of grandpa Tulio’s production and of the cookies of Martha’s mother, it was the best garden concert that the little city near the sea had ever seen!
