my titles ;)

Now i have 5 titles that i thought fresh out of my head. Literally i thought of this the first thing out of bed.
Now the first title is not 'forty three'. See it is actually 'four three', its a play on words when its on TV, the commentator will say ex: "Kobe Bryant FOR THREE!". So i used 4 3 as a title because i thought it was pretty clever. But let me explain more behind the meaning, so you could know better. Since this also for academic thats why its in numerals instead of words. It can be related to math that can be first, and it is very short and simple now thats another perk. But theres another deep meaning that is key. Life means 42 according to 'The Hitchiker's guide to the Galaxy'. So this is one up since its 4 3, Basketball means more than life, now thats according to me.

This is another title, this says 'splash'. It is when some one shoots and it goes down the hatch. Mostly its when the ball hits nothing but net, it makes a soft sound like water, thats why its called that i bet.
It is also a reference to a youtuber called Chris Smoove. He makes basketaball games videos and surprisingly it is pretty soothe. And every time he would shoot never to think about pass, but it goes in everytime and thats when he says 'Splash'.

The next one is acronym for 'thats all she wrote' it is said when the game is finished the one who wins is the host. And this also relates to school because it has the word wrote it in. However, the title seems a bit soft and kind, thats why its the weakest one out of the five.

Alright, lets get serious for a second. The last two is my finalists. Play ball is an expression that is used all around the world. It means to do something, or to cooperate. Thats why it is clever because it can be used metaphorically and/or literally. Playing ball in studies and playing ball in the court. And i like it how it is very simple, it is just two words that means a thousand more.
The last one i felt proud of because i thought of this one myself. What 'no look pass' means is that in basketball, in order to make a 'no look pass' is that you have to have confidence because you're passing to your team mate without you looking at the ball nor your team mate. And to apply that to academic terms is that you are very confident when you do a test or an exam that you walk out not looking back knowing that you already passed.

moodboard

this is a mood board for my next magazine. It will focus on high school and college basektball. It will be a masterpiece. I will be like the steve jobs of AS level media.

In this moodboard there are a few pop ups. One is 'we are all witnesses', it is one of NIKE's famous slogan mostly used by a famous basketball player name LeBron James. The others are brands and schools that are famous for playing basketball.

this will help me set the overall tone of the magazine.

This double page spread is from the 'Slam' Magazine. This here, is Lance stephenson. He is dunking on a big man. In the game of basketball dunking on someone is one of the most interesting plays in the history of basketball. This is often called 'Posterization' which means that when some one is dunked on, they'll be made into a poster. Lance Stephenson is one of the up coming stars in the NBA because of his outstanding performance against LeBron James and the Heats. This  Picture captures the shot from a low angle showing superiorness of Lance Stephenson. The mode of address in this picture is very important because we can see the expression on the dunker's face, he looks fierce. While you can also see the reaction from the opponent and the fans.

The heading for this page is SLAMADAMONTH. If we read it fast it sounds like Slam of the month. The colour of the title  is red and blue. Same as the colour of the jerseys. It is also been placed at the bottom to let the attention be on the picture.
The layout is basically a big image to almost fill the whole two page and a little box which has 5 columns. The small columns talks about how Lance Stephenson feels about another player.
