I have decided to create a magazine for my project. I decided to create a magazine because I enjoy writing and photography. Creative writing is a good skill to have for creating a magazine because I am able to express the topic of my magazine in and interesting way while having it be professional. I also enjoy taking pictures. I could take photographs to incorporate into my magazine for the cover photo and photos featured in the article. I am thinking that I will do a magazine on running. I run cross country and track and am thoroughly involved with the sport. The magazine may include anything from a runner's diet to what a runner does to prepare. I would categorize my project into a sports category. I will work alone, this way I will be able to express what I am interested in and use my own designs.

Film production possibly interests me because of the wide range of ideas that can be created. Making a film would let me express any idea I wanted through filming and acting. I could pick any genre of film and express that idea within the first few minutes that I create. Creating a film would be interesting because I would be able to do out of school productions with actors. The film would also be based on any idea I could produce. A helpful skill that would make the film project good for me would be writing, so I could write a good script. In class we watched two examples of films that previous students had made. They created a story line and conducted a short film to express the idea of the film. The project may be a challenge for me as far as making the film looking professional and editing.

Print journalism interests me because of the aspects involved in the process of making a magazine.The idea of print journalism involves writing, which I enjoy. Print journalism lets you express your ideas through writing that you are able to publish and share. Also, you are able to use artistic abilities when graphically designing. Magazines incorporate creative writing and design. Within the magazine I could conduct interviews, publish photos, and more. Making a magazine would be a good fit for me because I can express what I am interested in and share it with others who share similar interests. Looking at the example projects helped to show me what a good magazine layout should look like. One magazine was based on teens volunteering in the city. This project had a good cover page and was designed professionally to look like a real magazine would. I also may have some challenges making the project as far as picking a single topic to base my magazine around. Having many interests might
