Reflection: Hate analysing this double page magazine as I really need to zoom out for details that isn't even there, I really can't with this publisher as it's so underwhelming like how can a published magazine be this basic in a bad way
Before reading: Theory of Architecture
Magazine: architecture magazine
Issue: Autumn Spring 2008
Publisher: -
Genre: architectural magazine
Images: Rectangular images that create weird patterns probably valued as the weirder the patterns the better it is in architectural magazines.
Layout: what is the layout like?
Few boxes to fill in the middle of the double page spread
Is it heavy or light on text? - heavy text which sucks because I can't really read it even if I zoomed to each and every word, layout of the text box is also not organised which hurts my eyes when I read it
Where are the page numbers? No page numbers, I've zoomed it but found none or the colours were just to vague
The image of this double page spreads shows teenagers in the background do not really get what they're saying by just looking at the image, the images also have random size which makes it difficult to see.
Layout is pretty disorganised
- Text size and spacing is inconsistent
- Page numbers are at the bottom
- No drop cap
First impression: the picture above sucks since there is just too much rectangular shape
Inspiration: what did you learn? How can you apply it to your own magazine design?
I would never make my magazine this incomplete and I would never apply it to my magazine.
After reading: Theory of architecture
Heading: -
Subheading: -
Byline: there is no byline in the magazine
Article: too many words in the magazine, fonts are so bad that I can't read it too small, I hate the layout as the text box is not aligned.
Mode of address: Does it address the audience directly (you, your etc). Is the writing style formal/informal, friendly/serious
- Can barely read what the magazine is saying except for the heading.
The audience for this magazine are most likely those who are passionate about architectural buildings but also enjoy having to see this blunt design.
