Research
Create a blogpost called 'Magazine practical task research' and complete the following tasks:
1) Use your lesson notes on magazine genres and conventions to view a range of potential magazine covers. Create a shortlist of three potential magazines and embed an example front cover from each one.
2) Select your chosen magazine to create a new edition for and explain the thinking behind your choice.
The colour scheme of this Glamour magazine is very unique and not like any other Glamour magazines as they are very vibrant and emphasis women's beauty. However in this poster, Zendaya is conveyed to be very masculine as she is communicating empowerment and strength. The central image can be interpreted in many ways due to her subverting female stereotypes.
3) Find three different front covers for your chosen magazine and embed them in your blogpost. Analyse the fonts, colours and typical design. What is the language or writing style? How are the cover lines presented? You need to become an expert in the design and construction of this magazine and its branding.
The
strong, masculine stance of the Hugh Jackman emphasises that it’s targeted
towards a male target audience. Hugh Jackman is predominantly associated with
superhero and action movies because he is very robust and muscular, which is
perfect for the magazine and the audience. The veins that are being denoted on
his arms emphasises that Hugh Jackman is fit. This corresponds to the cover line ‘how to burn 180 KCAL’.
This will affect the audience by encouraging them to work on their fitness. The
cover line ends with ellipses to tell the reader there is more information that
will certainly benefit their life. Also creates a sense of urgency for the
audience in reading the magazine to further go in depth relating to the cover
line. The number 231 stands out from
the other conventions therefore, the audience will understand that it’s a very
important part of the magazine and perhaps may be attracted instantly when read.
