5082 magazine analysis (table of contents)

The table of contents of all editions are similar. They all have a main photo including a portrait of someone significant to the state of colorado. For example, the magazine labeled "Mountain escapes" includes the senator of colorado. The magazine labeled "Small town getaways" includes the owner of a company founded in colorado that specializes in the making of natural goods with the use of herbs and so forth. In addition, all editions include 5 pictures included in the table of contents, all in relation to what is being featured in the contents. Another similarity includes the use of a red symbol on the top left of the page, this seems to be one of the features in the magazine's housestyle as well as the inclusion of a large colorful and bolded number, representing the month in which the edition was published.

As for fonts, the font used in the heading of "Contents" is a serif font as for the heading that provides detail on the features, it is a serif font that is bolded and capitalized. The table of contents is organized by topic: Front range, scene, departments, and eat and drink in which there are headings or specific articles. As for length the magazines range from 156-272 pages. These are all into relation to my magazine because I think categorizing the table of content allows readers a better understanding of the content the magazine includes. The table of contents serves as a taste of what the magazine is all, essentially being a synopsis. With that said, I would like to include categories like this table of contents. It is visually pleasing and organized and it is displayed on one page.

However, I then realized that I was replicating the format of several travel spreads I had researched and failed to put my own spin to it. As a result, I brainstormed the format of two separate mini articles on my two page spread (previous brainstorming mentioned in blog post "PTS spread and table of contents brainstorm layout" went into the construction of this formatting below) : The photos about each article will be in relation to the article below it. Therefore making each page separate articles, on the nature spot I deemed suiting for Colorado and the other for California. For the photos featured above the articles, I had taken panoramic shots and I wanted to include one in the spread. Specifically for Yosemite because of the blue hues and purple hues that I was able to cap...

5280 Magazine Analysis

The issue of the 5082 is a scenic travel magazine that portrays Colorado's extravagant views. Various techniques are utilized on the front cover of this magazine. For starters, the background photo consistently shows mountainous shots. The shots show grassy or rocky terrain and mountains as the backdrop. Two of the three covers show a person in the shot. This can possibly allude to readers as they feel it is a welcoming site instead of an intimidating terrain , given that others have explored the same views portrayed in these shots. The shots are taken either at dawn or dusk, this may be because the sunset/sunrise highlight the beauty of the views (hues of color) and hikers tend to be early birds, making readers want to be present at the time; also, making the possible target: adventurous travelers and nature's admirers. Furthermore, the colors in the magazine help to create a placid mood and a welcoming feeling. All the ed...
