Food and Travel (magazine research)

The cover layout of this article has an extremely blue layout that kind of coincides with the theme. The background is a dark brown with a light blue tablecloth and then the center picture is a light blue bowl with an orange soup with dark complexion. It is extremely appealing and I would think that it is most likely because the magazine can be geared toward cruises the blue appeals to the ocean. The majority of the magazines layout is extremely vibrant colors of blues a reds. Almost as if it is an exotic magazine. Partly due to the fact of it also being a travel magazine. The articles consists of articles per the country or city for example “Venice” on page 25. As well as “Chinese” on page 33. These articles are more of a culture base and feature on ethnic cuisines. This magazine is published 10 times a year and is usually in the span of 6 to 8 weeks. I do not believe that this magazine was accredited to any awards.

Creative Critical Reflection #1

How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? My project is conventional and uses conventions throughout the magazine.Typically the front cover of a magazine has a mid shot to a close up for a background and it typically has the Magazine title with the other announcements on the page. This is typically what a conventional magazine. The color of thee magazine in this instance is extremely bright and has more lighting in the picture. A magazine typically can both have darker lighting and also can have a lighter type of lighting. My magazine has a dark lighting which is still conventional compared to other magazines. So as you can see my magazine has darker lighting which is stereotypically conventional compared to other magazines. So the front cover is mostly conventional with what most other magazines have.

3rd quarter revison/submission

These are my revisions for the third quarter. If you look at the comparisons you can see that the table of contents and the cover for the magazine have changed drastically since the beginning forms of the magazine. For the table of contents i changed the layout of the page to make it more organized. Instead of having it more simple i created it to be more appealing. As well as to make it easier for the reader to find out where they should be going. The coverpage i made it so the reader would be drawn to a few certain areas of the page. I changed the font and the location of the words to make it overall more appealing to the reader. The editing of the final submission is still a work in progress however. Throughout the continuation of the next few weeks i will be editing the spread of the two magazine articles. by adding new pictures and changing the layout of the page.
