Hello my name is Daniel James McDonald I'm an  A level media student from Rooks heath college. I have just recently created blog to present media coursework to allow others to be able to share my experiences on a daily basis . During this I will be uploading every so often to make sure that i have enough applicable work to be sufficient and up todate.
During this i will be looking at many different magazine and analysing them. While analysing them i will be bettering my self at looking at what kind of details that publishers put in their magazines that the general public who just buy the magazine's wouldnt notice.
The reason i want to better myself by doing this is because i will be able to eventually create my own magazine cover that will rival that of real publishers who get paid to make real magazine's.
By analysing magazines i will be able to see the techniques that publishers use when taking photo's of the indiviual or group that i will have that will be featured in my magazine.
So far i have been able to analyse 2 magazine which are the mens magazine featuring Henry cavil in the mens fitness magazine and finnaly the gaming magazine that is almost finished. Analysing these 2 magazines i have noticed the difference in the two genre's of magazine's. For example the mens magazine which is aimed at middle aged men going onwards had the colour scheme that was pretty rough hard and cold with colours like black and gray which wouldnt be that eye catching towards the younger generation. However when i analysed the gaming magazine i saw the large difference with the colour scheme along with the content. In the gaming magazine it had flashy colours a much more vibrant range of images however the amount of detail in the gaming magazine did not even rival that of the mens magazine.
I found that the mens magazine didnt have as much pictures but focused purely on the literal content rather than eye catching and short statements as the older generation generally have more paitence and time to sit down and spend time and read and evaluate things rather than the younger generation.
When the younger generation look at magazines or anything if it doesnt catch their interest they will most likely put it down the following minute or couplee of seconds, due to this the gaming magazine have short statements and flashy pictures to essentially keep them intertained.
In the mens magainze the colour schemes tend to be colours that are dark and metalic which refers to how they are seen as business men who are soley focused on the work. Which strongly differs from gaming magazine's and child magazines as they are seen as free and happy so the colours seem to be more happy and light.
