professional magazines

To make a magazine I have had to research , codes conventions , styles and more to get a grip of what my movie magazine should and will look like. Most of this has been online research however recently i got some time to look at some film magazines, there was a range of them including total film , empire and sight and sound. Although prodominatly they are subscriber magazines it still helps to get a proper look at the magazines. It really helps to understand how well put together the magazines look and what needs to be done to achieve this.

Also putting the magazines together shows me the different styles used however they are all effective and work well. Making a magazine which has the same impact is the goal. Although I'm only designing a cover looking into the content page and other pages of the magazine helps me grasp the audience because of fonts , linguistics and lexis. Every text has a sense of voice which helps audience and readers to understand the meaning and purpose, for me looking at whats included really helps me get a better understanding off the magazine and what needs to be done.
