Magazine Analysis

Assignment 1 Magazine Cover

Typography

While doing research for our magazine covers we had to experiment different fonts. In the picture above you can see how the font used for a specific word is appropriate and the colour used also represents the meaning of the word, for example the word mistake is written backwards this clearly shows the meaning of a 'mistake' and the word 'madness' is in black, and dark red, this represents madness, for example, red would represent danger.

Made by Aliza Chaudry 10T1

This colouring designed by Iqra Javed and Aliza Chaudry emphasises the feeling and sense of old fashion through the colours utilised. As you can see the picture we have used to collect the colours from isn't really a picture to represent the olden times and is also not a picture taken in the olden times. However we have impressively noticed that the colours in that picture represents the olden days and so we have used it in the fruit bowl. The colours black and white were used as the t.v's and pictures back in the day was (obviously) black and white and the rest of the colours such as brown, orange, yellow and etc. Were used as it gives a real sense of old fashion!
