Charles Smith Media Studies

 I am planning to start doing research and writing my magazine article today. I will be searching of stories related to basketball players who had hard childhoods and made the best out of the opportunity sports gave them. One story in particular I will be researching is Jimmy Butler's (Miami Heat player).

 Today I took the pictures I will be using for my magazine pages. Below are a sample of some of them. I really like the dull greys, whites, browns, and greens that are present within each photo.

 This table of contents I found on the internet is very appealing to the eye and uses a variety of vibrant colors. Although it may not match the color scheme of my liking, it is definitely a unique style for me to use as a reference.

  I like the idea of this cover page as the man in this picture really "pops" to the eye and allows for you to easily read the captioned writing as well.
