Magazine practical task research (part 1)

Research

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.

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 magazine cover for 'Girls Like Us' is a great example of a simple cover. Nothing but a nice edited picture and a title of a magazine.The left side of the edit might show the young woman, and the right side is a elderly woman.

The editing is a compete coplete mess, yet it feels whole and very aesthetical.

I really like the background, giving us not expected, dark color that really combines with the light pink.  The use of white color for the headlines looks really neat and clear. The title of the magazine goes over her head, which is something that i'll definitely use in my project. The cover has different types of font and sizes of the text. We can see what's the main focus.
