Graphic Design Magazine
Graphic Design magazine comparison?
i’ve just started a graphic design course and my first assignment is to compare 2 magazines. I have chosen guitarist australia and a gardening magazine. some of the things we have to talk about are:
Theme and style, functionality and the delivery platform.
These 3 things might be obvious to an experienced designer, but im not sure what to talk about.. can someone help?
Well, the two themes would probably be something like guitars and gardening.. I would think….
As far as style goes – I’ve never seen either magazine, but I would imagine that the guitar one is a lot edgier and funkier than the gardening magazine. You can probably elaborate pretty heavily on this section without too much effort.
Are you into guitars? Gardening? Hopefully you’ve chosen two magazines that interest you… and will be able to tell pretty easily if they are functional. Are they mostly ads? Packed with info? Effective layouts, typefaces, graphics, etc? Most importantly – will they grab and hold the attention of their target audience? The effectiveness of the magazine is probably determined by the bottom line.. so the more subscriptions and purchases, the better.
Delivery platform – is that just the type of paper, size of magazine, etc..? Not sure what is being asked, exactly.
This should get you started..
