Welcome!

Welcome to my blog. This is a student blog about the progress of a publication project, a magazine of my own invention. Since I enjoy riding a sportbike of my own, I figured I could put together some information about sportbikes, upcoming or past rides, and basically anything that has to do with the sportbike culture. I'm not biased, mind you, but I just prefer a sportbike, so ANY breed of biker is more than welcome to share their input, but please be objective. I don't claim to be an expert on this subject, I just enjoy it and thought to create this publication for this project. You can follow along with my progress and hopefully I won't lose you, or myself, in the process. Thanks and enjoy!

Moving Right Along.....

Alright, so we're working on getting everything ready for our final now, trying to get everything caught up and looking nice. I'm working on my front/back covers and TOC's that I didn't quite get completed. Since we're only using one of each for our final, it's an important decision, so I want to be sure to make/choose the right one. Once I get a few more done, I'll post them here for critique. Until then......

Work, Work, Work

OK, so this week, we've been given assignments based on the digital aspects of publication, mainly the mobile modern devices of the day that allow you to be just about anywhere and get your info.

Our first assignment was to design a banner ad of our choice and animate it using stills. Basically, use PDFs to show how it would progress on a site. I decided to advertise my own publication as if it were on another site. This is how it turned out.



The second part of our assignment was to make apps for the ever popular iPhone. Basically, we had to make a splash page, main page, about page, article page, and another page of our choosing. I did a gallery page that users could get images for their own purposes, like wallpapers. This is how they turned out, and I'm pretty happy, if I do say so myself....and I do!
