(Production Six) Feature Article

 Everywhere in the world the sun rises in the day and sets at night, right? Wrong! You apparently haven’t been to Iceland and experienced the amazing Midnight Sun. The Midnight sun is a special night of the year in Iceland where the sun doesn’t set for the whole day! Locals and tourists alike all come together to celebrate this strange phenomenon by playing sports, partying, and going to the beach. Professional Hilton Blogger, MaryEllen Mancini, states “It’s truly astounding that it seemed like morning when it was actually midnight!” A local that Mancini spoke with stated that “No matter if you’re a local, tourist, or snowbird, the Midnight Sun is something that everyone should experience.” So not only is this something amazing for people to see who have never viewed it before, people love the sight so much that they celebrate it again and again! Something truly fascinating about the Midnight Sun is how people react to it, even though the sun is something we see every day. MaryEllen Mancini describes her experience as “Almost magical, kind of like a dream. Everyone was so happy about something as simple as the time of day when the sun was out; it’s nice to see people find  joy in the little things.” Although this is a sweet idea, why do people get so excited by the Midnight Sun? Is it because of the partying? The sports tournaments? Spending time with family and friends? Maybe it’s all of those, or simply just the idea of being able to witness something stunning with people who you care about; I guess you’ll never know the true enchantment of the Midnight sun until you see it yourself.

I have also taken some pictures of a couple of my friends, some of them in the sun outside and others playing sports since one of the many things that happens during the midnight sun is celebration through sports. I also decided to head down to the beach and take some pictures there since some people decide to party on the beach during the midnight sun. One last sight I decided to take a picture of was a golfing range with golf balls out in the field since sport playing is seen as a form of celebration.  Another area I decided to explore with my photography was home décor. I decided to do this since the name of my magazine, Kali Ora, in Greek means good times, so I figured what represents time better than a clock, right? Besides the clock photo th...

(Production Five) My House Style

 My house style is a very fun loving, colorful, and slightly youthful looking dynamic. I decided to make my style appear this way so that it is interesting to many different groups of people, teens, children, and people who aspire to feel youthful once again. My house style is also seen as colorful with text that really pops out at you to try and grab my readers attention. Going with a more colorful style is also helpful for marketing since many magazines out on the lot today tend to stick to more drab and less colorful options, so having color will really make people take a second glance.
