(64) It's a long story...Creative Critical Reflection #2

 


--Dawn of the first day--
Hey guys welcome back to another blog, today we are going to be answering another question for my creative critical reflection.

How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?

My magazine product targets men of course as it's a men's fashion magazine and it's made for men of all ages and backgrounds. I've made the magazine eye catching with flashy colors and intriguing cover lines. I've done this because it appeals to viewers easier and makes it easier to retain their attention while conveying my points across.

The color scheme is mostly red and blue and I chose this specifically since red is a more energetic color and it calls for more attention and blue makes a good contrast to that which helps add emphasis in that design context. Since this is a magazine for all ages I did make use of some informalities and jokes such as calling the magazine the "Drip Edition" and adding coverlines like "I would kill to look this good". This helps to engage with the audience in a more light-hearted approach.

The magazine encourages the audience to get into men's fashion and just interact with it regardless of their age or situation and this idea is conveyed from the use of imagery. And it does this in a fun way that shows how interesting men's fashion can be and that it's not boring.

This product could be distributed as a real media text through the use of physical copies as readers would eagerly pick up my eye catching magazine and I could also distribute online which would also work well as people would want to read my magazine for informative yet entertaining information on men's fashion. Physically we would distribute it through retailers, barbershops, gyms, malls, book stores, grocery stores, and pawn shops. Virtually we would distribute it through amazon, audiobooks, and a dedicated website for our publishing.

(30) It's not about the GRA...anatomy of page DEsign part 2!!!

  *Dying* argh...totally worth...the joke...*dies* If you can appreciate that statement for it's depth then you have great perception. I hope these aren't all flying over your head, anyways let's get back to...work...I MEAN FUN LEARNING!! You believing that right? You said no? Good, I don't wanna pretend, let's get straight to it, today I will be covering the remaining terms I see as critical to understand when discussing the anatomy of page design. So to recap I will be discussing body text, images, and graphics today. Let us begin! Body Text: The body text is basically the main text content of an article or feature within a magazine. This text is typically set in a readable font and size, and is positioned in a way that allows the reader to easily scan and read through the content.  The body text is an important part of the overall design of a magazine page, as it provides the main information and content for the reader. In terms of page design, the body text is t...

(4) Wanna see something cool...camera angles

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 ...

If you know you know, AYYYY. Yeah he gets it. Anyways today we are going to be talking in depth about Magazine Layout, now there are several types of magazine layouts, today I will be discussing the main ones, that being Grid-based layouts, Asymmetrical layouts, and Hierarchical layouts. So this should be a quick little yummy tasty bite-sized blog...yeah you like all those adjectives, yeah you do. Alright let's being! Grid-Based Layout: Grid-based layouts are structured around a series of vertical and horizontal lines that help to organize the content of the magazine. This type of layout is often used in magazines that have a lot of text and images, as it helps to create a balanced and organized look. Asymmetrical Layout: Asymmetrical layouts, on the other hand, do not use a grid and instead rely on the placement of elements to create visual interest. This type of layout is often used in magazines that have more complex or varied content, as it allows for more flexibility in the pl...
