In our lesson on Friday 28th March, we started by discussing the different elements that make up the design of a conventional, mainstream magazine such as masthead, main image, main coverline, other coverlines, puff, content plugs, date line, price line, bar code, web address, etc.
We then watched a video (embedded below for you to watch again if you wish) in which Mr B. explains how to analyse a magazine front cover.
I then asked you to download and save the presentation I have added to our Teams channel. Again, I have added an image below to let you know what you should have downloaded.
This presentation has 5 slides.
Slide 1 has a title only whilst slides 2, 3, 4 and 5 have images of recent front covers of the 4 Conde Nast style magazines that you researched for Research Task 3. An example can be seen below.
On slides 2-5, you should analyse each front cover and add notes around the image accordingly.
Top Tip: If you do a Google image search for 'magazine front cover analysis' you will find examples of how other students have done this task in the past.
Once you have completed your annotations, you then need to go to slide 1 and add a text box in which you answer the following question:
What have you learnt about the design of style magazine front covers from your analysis of 4 Conde Nast style magazine covers?
Once all of this has been done:
1. Take a screen shot of each of your slides.
2. Create a blog post with the following title:
Research Task 4 : Style Magazine Front Cover Analysis
3. Add the 5 images you have captured to your blog.
Deadline: Friday 4th April
