Magazine Cover First Step

-


Next Step:

Now that the survey is out of the way and I have an idea of what to place in my cover magazine, it is now time to establish exactly how I will want my front cover to be. I already know that my peers desire to see a luxury vehicle due to its more appealing features and designs, however, the exact manner by which I will portray this vehicle is completely unknown to me. There are three possible ways in which I can make my cover page using a luxury car.


Option 1: The Single Vehicle Cover

This is perhaps the vehicle magazine cover that is seen the most. It is by far the most popular and used in most car magazines. The reason for this may be due to the versatility and flexibility that is possible when displaying just one car. Possible angles and background can be more creative. Not only this, but by having only one vehicle in the cover, the image of the car may be much larger and therefore, a much more detailed view of the vehicle may be established.


Option 2: Two or More Cars Cover

Although not as popular as the first option, the two or more cars cover is still widely seen in many car magazines, especially in those that gear their attention towards race and performance cars. This cover may be very effective in attaining a reader's attention by displaying more than just one car. This makes the probability of a reader to like what they see exponentially greater. It also serves as a great comparison, and allows readers to compare the many cars there are to offer in the cover page which is something that is harder to do in a "Single Vehicle Cover"

Option 3: Car and Person Cover

This is yet another possible cover and it is the least popular of the options. Most car magazines desire to display a car and avoid any other distractions. The main focus is many times the vehicle itself and anything else proves to be an outlier. However, there are certain occasions where having an individual in the magazine cover along with the car may prove to be beneficial. This is many times done for car magazines that focus on race cars which may display the race car driver inside of the vehicle. The "Car and Person Cover" can also be seen in magazines that focus on a lot of luxury and will usually display a well-known celebrity next to the vehicle, since it will add appeal to the cover.

G reetings, my name is Juan and this is my very first blog post of many more to come! What is my Goal? The reason I created this blog is in order to log my procedures in creating my magazine for AICE Media Studies. I will be posting these blogs on a regular basis in order to accurately explain how I intend to reach my end product (the magazine cover). My blogs will cover things, such as rough drafts, ideas, possible pictures, and essentially my entire thought process in coming up with the magazine. How will this be done? Since this is AICE Media Studies, I will be going about this blog in a very specific manner with specific tasks in order to abide by the rubric. The magazine will consist of a front-page, contents, and a two-page spread. There is also the possibility that I will be working in a group of up to 4 people. If I am to work in a group, each member of the team will be assigned a specific portion or job, all of which will be discussed in more depth later on.

Codes & Conventions of a Magazine

The next step in properly understanding how a magazine works is to learn the conventions and codes that make it up. This is something that I must learn in order to successfully create my magazine. The information that I obtained through research led me to this: Masthead:  When it comes to publishing, this term refers to the name of the magazine. This is a very important component of the magazine as it is one of the first things read and it also gives off the genre of the magazine. Sell line:  This is the statement made by the magazine that will try to convince someone to buy it. This is because it usually states any extra gains that a person will obtain from buying the magazine such as competitions or prizes. Cover lines:  These essentially serve as teasers as to what information is inside for the readers. They run down the sides of the magazine and is another technique to gain the attention of potential buyers. Main image/central image:  Just as the name implies, t

Preliminary Task (Genre of Magazines)

Genre of Magazines Before I can go about creating my magazine, I believe it is important that I understand what a magazine is, starting with the genres of magazines. I need to get my thoughts flowing as to what genre of magazine I am looking for. I conducted some research in order to outline the different genres, and here is what I found: Food Magazines: This type of magazine revolves around the advertising of food. It can range from foods that can be made at home, how to cook, home recipes, and even foods that can be found around the world. Fashion Magazines: This genre of magazine revolves around clothing and other forms of fashion. Fashion can be displayed through the use of people or individual objects. It is usually what people use to find out what is trending in clothing, but many magazines regarding fashion can also display very extravagant and unorthodox dresses. Automotive Magazines: This particular genre of magazine revolves around cars and e
