Magazines Spreads

I picked out these magazine spreads because I thought they looked interesting and they are all different and i can use some ideas from them for my article, like maybe i could use a blend of all of them.

This one has different fonts like big and small letters, and the big letters are capital also at the start of the some of the sentence it has a big capital letter and that's what most magazine/newspapers have.
















This one is really interesting its different from the usual featured article you'll see in most magazines, its layout is very creative. There's text everywhere and different fonts of letters and it looks like the main piece of information is on the bottom in the green background. It also consists the same colour which is green and they even put a picture of a tree which is green and it blends well with the whole article.















This one is quite basic because it looks like a typical featured article, I like the layout of this article it looks very clear and its set out properly like, you have the title on the top 'viva vino' and its in big capital letters and also has a picture near it. It has different pictures in the middle of the texts and the texts are quite small but that's because its all the information. There's also a brief about this article and its red and that's like its carrying on the colour scheme because its part of the title.



Existing Poverty/Pollution Articles

I am looking at existing poverty and pollution magazines to give me an idea of how i want my front cover to look like as i can get inspiration from them but make it my own.

Different Poverty Articles:

      
I found these existing poverty magazines covers and i can see that they all have one big main image which relates to the topic. Newsweek cover has a baby with tears and that can be effective as they are children and no one wants to see them suffer. The cover 'yes' has a different approach to all of the magazines the vibe is happy and the title says 'The end of poverty' which is sending out a positive message.

Different Pollution Articles:

I found these existing pollution articles from different companies and they all have their own style. The 'TIME' front cover are good they are all creative when they use the pictures because the photos used here are all effective, and they used cartoon effects in some of them which can also be effective for children. The text is important information when they are in capital letters like 'our filthy seas'  that is eye catchy to the audience. The 'PERREAULT' cover is good, they used a globe which shows pollution around the world which gives a clear message to people. The next front cover 'POST' is effective as it has a picture of factories blowing smoke and everyone knows that factories are the main cause of pollution. The text has different styles sand fonts some of them in capital because they want to catch your attention.

Magazine Designers

I have looked at different magazine designers and I think all of their magazines are good and creative, and I chose three of them to talk about.

Neville Brody-

        

These are all magazines that he has created and most of them involve celebrities like, Madonna and Sade. He uses celebrities to promote or endorse a product and they know that people know them so they would be interested to pick up this magazine.


Vince Frost-

These are different articles by Vince Frost and i can see the way he laid it out and it will help and inspire me to make them like that. I like how the texts have different fonts in them like, some of the letters are big and and small or capital. They also have a color scheme all of them above, they are all red and black and that is consistent throughout all of them.

Tibor Kalman-

    

These are magazine covers by Tibor Kalman and they are quite simple because they don't have much texts on them like magazine normally do like cover lines. These magazine has one main image and that takes up most of the front cover and the title 'colors' is in capital and in big font which is also noticeable.




    


Analyzing main features of a magazine

I am going to make a poverty/pollution magazine and i am going to say how they are effecting the world today and what can we do to decrease the issue because i know that this issue wont just be stopped but we can find ways to make it less each day. So this is why i'm making it because i want people to know and to have knowledge about it and the people can help to make a difference and to make this world a better and healthier environment.

I just found this random magazine on google and i can already see what a magazine cover looks like and requires when to target their audience.
