Self-love/self-help magazines

The three magazines included in this blog all have the same genre. I wanted to look at some magazines with the same genre I am concentrating on to observe how I could best reach a wider and diverse audience. I do have to keep in mind that I have a much younger demographic so these color schemes and fonts may not attract my target audience.

All three magazines have a clear and bold font. For the most part, they are all pretty simple consisting of solid-colored backgrounds and a few cover lines. These magazines are much less cluttered and the cover model is always centered. I will be using Glamour magazine as my model magazine to create my own. I picked these specifically because of the organization as well as the confidence and self-acceptance all these women exude.

Conventions

Magazines require certain conventions that they all need to follow. I will mention and explain them below. •Nameplate/masthead- The font that makes the magazine recognizable. It is specifically designed to attract an audience. •Taglines- Taglines are used to show what the magazine is about. •Coverlines- Coverlines mention the topics included. •Central image- The central Image draws an audience before they can even read the magazine. •Cover model- Cover models are usually celebrities that have a strong connection to the magazine's genre. •Color scheme- The color scheme is used to target a demographic. •Barcodes- Barcodes are used to Identify your magazine.

Using Camera Angles

Today, I took photos using the three camera angles from the syllabus. These consist of a high angle, low angle, and canted angle. 1) High angle This high angle conveys the idea that the subject has less power than I do. 2) Low angle This low angle conveys the idea that the subject is powerful or holds more power than I do. 3) Canted angle This canted angle suggests that the subject is disoriented.
