(19) Ah ship here we go again...Magazine History

 


Hey what's good guys I'm back and I just wanted to throw another banger your way. Ight bruh so here we go, also I'm bouta go hard on these mag blogs so get ready gang. Nah just kidding guys you know I'd never talk that way haha. Anyways lets talk about the history of magazines so you can get a rudimentary understanding of them.

But before we begin I wanted to share with you the resource from which I derived my knowledge,
https://www.magazines.com/history-of-magazines

I share this information with you because today I will simply give you a synopsis of what I have understood from this source, but if you wish you may look into it more for your own learning and self-development. Moving on, let us begin...

Simply put magazines have been around since the 1600's, but didn't start becoming very popular until about the late 1800's.

Since then magazines have developed into a wide range of categories, covering just about everything from sports, science, women's fashion, etc. Magazines served as a way to inspire, educate, and entertain audiences across the globe

Magazines in the 1900's even started developing into weekly publications and niche categories to target specific demographics, such as National Geographic Magazine which was dedicated to science, geology, and world event. The 1923 initially founded magazine Time was the first weekly publication magazine. The 1954 initially founded Sports Illustrated magazine had a targeted demographic of wealthy Americans as it focused on activities mainly accessible to them such as boating and playing polo.

Well guys that's it, hoped you enjoyed the history lesson, very simplified, but really that's all you need to know. Pretty cool stuff guys.


Thanks for Reading!!

Guys & Gals !!!, I wanted to show you all something cool... I've been learning some awesome stuff lately in terms of camera angles and I just thought you'd all be interested in taking a peep. So lets start The first angle I want to demonstrate is the High Angle , a camera shot that looks down on the subject The purpose of the high angle is to make the subject look powerless and vulnerable, for example in this picture the subject is looking up at the camera as if it is a bigger entity looking down on him, this shot also makes the subject appear smaller and in effect more powerless. The second angle I have for you is the Low Angle , a camera shot that looks up at the subject The purpose of the low angle in contrast to the high angle is to make the subject appear strong and powerful, yep I sure do feel scared here, your buying that right? The third angle I've got is the Canted Angle , this is an angle that's well, angled of course, or you can say tilted, here take ...
