House Style Ideology for Magazines

Image
  Have you ever thought of a House Style being compared to a magazine before? Me neither, that is why we are here right now.  If you come to think of them as one, a house style can be easily compared to a magazine, they both need a blueprint, a front and back face, a guide of its content, attractive colors, and they both have to be found useful or at least interesting according to the customer's desires and needs. So, from now on, I want you to think about "House Style" and "Magazine" as if they were one. That being said... From what I know, a house style is developed having the mentioned factors and many others like the budget, possible incomes, and expenses to be made. It is used in order to provide a place for the customer according to the different types of potential buyers. The different types of house styles are used to lure this variety or a specific type of purchaser which will or not be influenced depending on the type of blueprint (genre) of the house...

Quick History of Magazines

Image
 Beginnings of print magazines  The first distribution, which could be known as a magazine, was the German Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen, delivered in the year 1663. It was an artistic and philosophical release and after it was dispatched a few periodicals with fundamentally the same as themes were distributed, and were expected for a scholarly crowd.  The topical extension was extremely restricted, and it was essentially composed by one creator. A distribution like the present magazines (different subjects and a few creators) showed up in the year 1672 when French creator Jean Donneau de Vize made Le Mercure Galant. It consolidates subjects from court occasions, theater, and writing, and this magazine idea was duplicated all through Europe. The primary ladies' magazine, Ladie's Mercury, was dispatched in London in the year 1693. Obviously, these distributions in their beginnings were called periodicals. Rise of the Magazines In the mid-twentieth century seems one of t...

Magazines' Research

Image
Hi, this is me, (again) Jonathan on the other side of your screen. Today, I am going to go over a little research on some of the different genres of magazines there is. How many magazines do you know? Usually, many will mention the most common ones, while, others will be believing they’re giving a magazine name when it could be a newspaper brand name instead. Me, for instance, did not know any names of any sort of magazine! Being able to analyze my magazine “Popular Science” helps me understand what a magazine really is. It let me explore the similarities and differences one magazine brand could have throughout the years and how they capture people's attention which the little details, pictures, and information they add to it. This project was the reason for the development of my 3 main topics: fashion, food, and/or photography. The reason for it is because I was able to view different genres from all the different groups, sadly, I was not able to see more!  Moreover, why those thr...

Reflection on Syllabus

Image
Hi, this is me, (again) Jonathan on the other side of your screen. Today, I am going to go over a quick reflection on the Syllabus for this class (AICE Media Studies). This class has many objectives to look forward to, but, I am more interested in looking forward to the details that come with the aims; "appreciate and engage with a variety of global and local media texts", "enjoy and appreciate the media, and its role in their daily lives", and explore production processes, technologies and contexts". The reasons for this is because I found that engaging with local and global would be a very interactive way to maintain myself informed on the news going around my area and the world itself, not only this but finding out how the media's role affects the actual lifestyle of many individuals is just a new way to get different perspectives on how easily persuaded humans can be. On top of that, exploring the production process is within my general interest since I...

A Bit About Me

Image
Hi, my name is Jonathan, and today, I will share with you a little bit about me. I am part of the AICE students at my high school American Senior High School. I am currently attending the AICE Media Studies class in order to meet more of the requirements to get the Cambridge diploma and its benefits for my future. Such benefits will allow me to enroll in a college or university of my interest such as UF, which would allow me to pursue my professional interest to become a mechanical engineer or at the very least, develop my first years within their facilities.  This might be a complete 180 degrees turn, but my hobby is that of photography. This is because of my passion and ambition to replicate, enhance, and showcase the beauty of anything that happens to capture my attention as the content of my picture above did. And so, because of this hobby of mine, and persecution of a better future, I am taking this class because I feel it can help me develop myself and hobby into a more 'mark...

  Hello, my name is Jonathan and this is the beginning of my end, I mean, my blog! This blog will be used as a way to document my planning and research methods implied for my Media Studies product. I have chosen to do a magazine (which will include a cover page, double-page spread, and a content page making it 4 pages long). With this component of media, I will be expected to learn different skills, such as being analytical of media products and how to construct media products using technical and creative skills. Furthermore, I will be working with a group whilst the longevity of this project in order to expand the range of ideas. Needless to mention that even though I will be in a group, I will be submitting my own individual product.   My Step-by-Step: Planning and taking notes for the production of the media product.
