Day 6 part 3 : My analysis of 2 chosen magazines & Video on Similarities in Colour

For are holiday homework, we had to analyse 2 magazines of a chosen genre. I picked Kpop and Pop, because they're the genres I'm most interested in. Throughout this sliderocket presentation, you will see my analysis of French Korean music magazine which is distributed in the UK Kpop Life, and British music magazine Top of the Pops. I also decided to do a 30 second quick summary, of the similarities both magazines share in relation to colour. I originally wanted to make the video longer, however for free you can only make a video of 30 seconds.
Make your own slideshow at Animoto.

What I learnt from analyzing magazines :
  •          That not every music magazine focuses just on music.
  •          Colour is important, as it can represent who the magazine is aimed at.
  •       I learnt that in my magazine, I need to focus on how the style relates to the genre
  •       I learnt that I need to use a variety of font sizes, so the reader sees the importance behind the different sizes.
  •      I will need to plan the layout of the double page spread, front page and contents page, by researching different magazines and using them as inspiration.
  •      That you have to use 3 colours or more that harmonize well, with the images used and the text.
  •      Using a white or black background, would be easier to work with and crop to suite your magazine.
  •      Serrif and San serrif fonts give different feelings and auras, depending on how you want your magazine to come across.
  •      Most magazines use pull qoutes, so I think it would be a good idea to attract the reader just like competitions.
