Post Production 2 - Feature Articles

 I have been analyzing my magazine lately to try and find the best flow for the images and texts to make sure that they are cohesive to present the right image and feel. the first thing that I did was rearrange the page that had the SAND, SUN N' FUN article. In the first version of the magazine I had one of my images that was of a stormy sky above an ocean up next to the title which was in the right column. What I did was move the image down to the bottom, so that the title filled the entire top of the page and then has the article directly underneath it and that has images on the left side and going down and then has a collage of different images in the bottom of the page.

On the left hand page I also rearranged the images and added in different pictures of a few locations at different times to convey the effect that the activities I described are perfect for the whole family or the target audience and it is an activity that they can do all day and have fun while being in nature.

I kept the typography the same but instead of having one main image I broke the page up to have 3 images with little boxes in the right corner of the image with a number corresponding to the articles that I had in alternating cubes running down the right hand side of the page and along the bottom. I feel like this contributes ...

Creative Critical Reflection - Question 1

 Beyond the Border is a unique product to the travel magazines currently found in circulation. Typical travel magazines such as Travel + Leisure, Luxury Travel and Conde Nast, a few of many examples, target a specific audience and therefore they have a similar trend of conventions. Due to the fact travel magazine companies utilize typical conventions present in current travel magazines, they are highly geared towards two specific age groups. These being the young, around 20 to 25 who are newlywed and do not have kids and then people who have retired and are over the age of 60. However, with both of these demographics in mind current travel magazines do not represent the family dynamic, unless it is a very small toddler or baby. This highlights a current social issue, which is that children and parents are drifting more and more apart in today's society. On the other hand, Beyond the Border, is geared towards a trip that can be taken and enjoyed by the entire family. With different ...
