Front Page - Final Idea -

-

 Hello everyone, on today's blog, I will show you all what I have planned for my front cover. For it, I had drawn a sketch, which was shown on the previous blog but I have decided to change it. Reason being? I wanted it to be more natural and pleasantly looking with a minimalistic touch based on the magazine Outdoor's Photography. 


As you can see, it is very minimalistic and peaceful with a just enough typing on it to make it fit under the basics of how a magazine should look like. For this reason, I planned on having something more natural as my cover page and so I came up with this picture I took while walking down the school. I could not manage to have someone else taking a picture of me doing it, but I hope this is enough. 



Why do I like this picture so much? Simple, it is simple, yet contrasting and filled with natural aspects. I also love the juxtaposing bright colors of the flower against the gloomy sky. Because of these aspects, I came up with the decision to use it as such cover page.

Magazine's Demographics

                          In this research on Magazine Demographic it was found that 78% of readers are Male and 22% of the readers are Females. This information will be valuable with developing my magazine. Although this information is from 2008 so this could change. MarketingCharts’ own  US Media Audience Demographics  study demonstrates a similar trend. During Spring 2017, 56.1% of adults surveyed said they had read a print edition of a magazine in the previous week, down from 61.7% saying so a couple of years earlier. The report reveals strong discrepancies in print magazine readership by age, with adults ages 65 and older about twice as likely as those ages 18-24 to report having read a print magazine in the past week (73% and 36%, respectively). The print magazine audience tends to be skewing older over time, too. The report’s 2017 data showed that 44.7% of US monthly magazine readers were aged 55 and older...

– Using Composition –

Using Composition Hi everybody!!! I am glad to have you around one more time. Today, we are going to explore some rules of composition with their meanings, and a quick review of their relevance within the picture. So let's begin with this picture I took quite a while ago. In the following picture, we have a great example showcasing the usage of the  Rule of Thirds.  T he R ule   of T hirds   "is a type of composition in which an image is divided evenly into  thirds , both horizontally and vertically, and the subject of the image is placed at the intersection of those dividing lines, or along one of the lines itself." ( Rule of Thirds Definition - What is Rule of Thirds by SLR Lounge )  This is done so that the image's subjects could be 'seamlessly' placed at a natural position for the human eye.  In this image, a feeling of nostalgia, solitude, and future hardships can be perceived but it is the contrasting colors of the yellow flower that give meaning...
