(27) As if I'd lie to you, here...Magazine Layout 2!!

 


You know...now that I think back on it, I've been trolling everyone in my life at least once since I was in kindergarten. Well I suppose I'll just have to take solace in the quote by Aristotle, "No great mind ever existed without a touch of madness."

Anyways that's enough lore about me, let's move to the meat of the matter, TODAY we are going to be reviewing the last 3 important terms I wanted to discuss in Magazine Content. So this will be a short blog for the most part, I do hope you enjoy, but to recap the 3 remaining terms are: illustrations, ads, and columns. Let us begin!


Illustrations:

Illustrations are visual representations that are used to enhance the content of a magazine. They can take many forms, such as drawings, photographs, or graphics, and are often used to help readers better understand complex concepts or to add visual interest to a piece of text. 

In magazines, illustrations are often used to break up large blocks of text and make the content more engaging and accessible. They can also be used to highlight important points or to add a touch of humor or personality to the magazine. 

Overall, illustrations are a valuable tool for magazine editors and designers, as they help to make the content more engaging and appealing to readers.


Ads:

Ads are a common feature of magazine content, as they are a primary source of revenue for magazines. Ads can take many forms, such as full-page spreads, half-page ads, or small banner ads. They often feature images and text that are designed to grab the reader's attention and promote a product or service. Ads are typically placed throughout the magazine, either interspersed among the articles or grouped together in a dedicated section.

Some readers may find ads to be intrusive or annoying, especially if they are not relevant to their interests. However, ads also serve an important function by providing information about products and services that readers may be interested in. In this way, ads can help to connect readers with companies and businesses that offer products or services that are relevant to their needs. 

Overall, ads are an integral part of magazine content, as they help to support the magazine and provide readers with valuable information.

Columns:

Columns are a common feature in magazine content. They are regular features that are written by the same person and cover a specific topic or theme. Columns are typically shorter than articles and are often more personal or opinion-based in nature. They are often used to provide readers with a unique perspective on a particular topic, or to offer advice or insights on a particular subject. 

Columns can be a valuable addition to a magazine, as they can help to add personality and diversity to the content. They can also provide readers with regular content that they can look forward to in each issue of the magazine. However, columns can also be seen as less objective or less informative than articles, as they are often based on the personal experiences or opinions of the writer. 

Overall, columns can be a valuable addition to magazine content, but they should be used in conjunction with other types of content to provide a balanced and informative experience for readers.

ANDDD once agai-...wait I'm getting deja vu, ugh, I hate that feeling, anyways we've reached the end, as always I make these so we can learn together, I hope my work has been useful to you, as always,

Welcome...back, I wasn't looking for you, no...I was looking for my...uhm MY GLASSES!!..."where are MY glasses?" ahhh gotcha, anyways lets get back to discussing house styles, well we already discussed it, so lets look at some examples, Yes right away I think you guys can see the general theme and use of house styles in this magazine. It's pretty easy to spot. For one we can typically see an image of an individual in the cover, the magazine logo, in this case being XXL, and the use of large headings typically at the bottom left with a barcode at the bottom right. Lets go over some more analyzed and high quality examples, These are some very nicely analyzed examples and they easily searchable on the internet so credit to the google search "house style in magazine". Anyways we can see that the Vogue magazine is clearly very streamlined in it's product

(5) Check this out! More camera angles, yes!

I knew you'd want some more  😉 and I've got you covered!! Today I wanted to demonstrate to you some more camera angles and shots!! The first camera angle is the establishing shot This shot is used to establish the location and environment of a scene and can also set the mood while giving the audience visual clues of the day, time, and general situation. For example in the establishing shot you can tell it's within a school. Another angle similar to the establishing shot is the master shot This shot is meant to focus not as much on the location, but more on all the subjects in the scene, smaller shots can be interwoven into the master shot. Moving on,  I have the close-up up shot This shot is taken very close to the subject and has the subject fill most of the frame, the purpose is to emphasize the subject or a small feature of theirs. For example in the photo it appears like he's thinking and you can deduce this by his facial expressions. Any closer and this would

I wanted to discuss with you what is house styles with regards to magazines. I care for you all and would hate to waste your time so I'm going to make this short and sweet and divide this topic into two separate blogs, I will use one blog for to help you understand the subject of house styles in magazines and another blog to demonstrate this in terms of actual magazines so you can see house styles in how it is applied in terms of an industry setting i.e. official magazines.
