Today we were deconstructing multiple magazines the first magazine we looked at was called Super Super. This magazine was clearly not new, we found it cluttered and a bit overwhelming. Although we didn’t like the aesthetic or the layout, we still got lots of ideas for our own magazine.
- Cover- Master head- Capital letters – makes the titles appear bolder
- Cover- Bold contrasting colours (black, white, red, and yellow)
- Cover- Photography – the main images is made to stand out
- Target audience- ‘Emo’ Teenagers (15-18)
- The logo and magazine name are spotted around the magazine
- Inside- Standfirst- the magazine has many small paragraphs
- Grids- most of the articles are in colourful boxes- this attracts the reader to look at the article
The second magazine we looked at was VICE, we all really liked the cover and how simple it was, we thought the title being in a silver tint made the cover more exciting rather than just a text. We also loved the inside layout of the magazine; we thought the drop caps were something that would fit in great with our own magazine.
- Cover- Coverline- vice have not got a coverline- the magazine is able to attract its audience as it is a successful name
- Inside- drop cap- a lot of the article has drop caps- makes the magazine look clean- tells you where to start reading
- Grids- the layout is very clean the articles are in two grids and a lot smaller compared to the photography- the grids are similar widths throughout the magazine- they follow a similar pattern throughout the magazine – we think this is something we would want to have in our own magazine
The third magazine was the CR Fashion book 20 prime s/s 2022. I feel that this was my favourite out of all the magazines, I think the size made the magazine stand out and I had never seen a magazine at this scale before (A3). We also liked the title which was a gold tint and thought again it stood out like on the VICE magazine. I thought this size magazine could be very interesting for our own magazine as we are thinking of the magazine being a photography-based magazine so this could be interesting for us as it would present our images amazingly.
