12/12/16 Table of Contents Template

As well as creating our cover page template, Hannah and I also outlined the way in which we want our table of contents to look. We decided that for the title on the table of contents page we would reuse the font Tempus Sans ITC. For the rest of the writing on the page we also decided on reusing the font Lithos Pro Regular. We want to have a common writing font throughout the magazine. We still are struggling with some disagreement on style choices yet for now this is the best we could construct together. Over the break Hannah and I have also planned on collecting images that we may be able to use as thumbnails for our table of contents. - Hope Bumgarner 

12/12/16 Cover Page Template

Today Hannah and I collaborated to create our cover page. We made decisions on font, spacing, and design layout. We used Microsoft Publisher to produce it. We also decided on the name of our magazine. We decided to call our magazine "Athletica" because we focus on sports, athletes, and health. The font we decided on for the cover page magazine name is Lithos Pro Regular and for the rest of the writing on the cover page we used the font Tempus Sans ITC, we are still making decisions on what information to include on the cover page. Over the break Hannah and I are going to take the picture we are going to include on the cover page. Nick will be home from Christmas break so I believe I am going to get a picture of him in his gator attire if possible. - Hope Bumgarner

12/8/16 Project Focus

Today I decided what the focus of my article will be on. I am going to do a column called " A week in the life of a D1 athlete". I have a very good friend Nick Long who is a Division 1 baseball player at the University of Florida. After speaking with him about my idea, he agreed to allow me interview him and have an inside scoop to what its like to be a D1 college athlete. He is a freshman this year so I will have him explain how hard the change was from high school athlete to college athlete. I will focus on the intensity of the workouts, while also including a view at his whole schedule. In doing so, we will be able to assess the time management he must use in order to be successful. Nick is and always has been a very focused hard working athlete so I believe this will be a very interesting article. Nick verbally committed to the University of Florida the summer of his sophomore year so it will be exciting to hear if the life he has been eagerly waiting for is all he thought it was going to be. - Hope Bumgarner
