Love Magazine

Love MagazineI have chosen Love magazine to be my first even project in Digital Technologies and Print Production class as it's a relatively new magazine.

I thought seems as I've never done this class before I might as well look into a magazine I've never seen before and make it a total new experience for me.

I got quite excited about this magazine as it was like nothing I'd ever read before. The lay out of the pages and the actual articals are so different to typical highstreet magazines you always buy.

The editors have focused on young people from around the world which they see to have inspirational talents that they could share with the world. It isn't about useless celebrites and their love lifes for once.

These young people just come from ordinary backgrounds and have been given a chance to promote theirselves through this magazine. For instance, one of the main articals is about young boxers and how they are not all violent thugs like the world percieves them to be and tells us abit about all of their lives. I thought this was an unusual artical as not many magazines (unless a sports related one) would do such an artical.

However there are afew similarities like the use of Pixie Geldolf and Taylor Swift, the celebrity factor but they use them as part of the magazine instead of just been an artical about them.

Also there is an artical abour Coco Sumner who is a celebrity in her own way (Sting's daughter) but not a very well known one so people don't just buy this magazine for the face on the cover.

I don't however like the fact that half the magazine is advertisments as it gets boring flicking through them all to find the interesting stuff. The other down fall in my eyes is the fact that half way through an artical it just stops and you have to carry it on at the back of the magazine which is very annoying.

My Chosen Artical ...

I have chosen to re-design the artical on the store Hollister and the people that work there.

I found the artical interesting as it wasn't like an advertisments for the shop it was more about the people who make it what it is. I thought seems I will have to be staring at this piece of work for a long time I may as well be looking at something interesting.

The length of the artical is just about right as it isn't too long so it becomes boring but it isn't too short so it's too quick and easy and I don't actually learn anything from it.

This project will be a struggle for me but I will try my hardest to get my head around it all and complete it to the highest standard I can achieve.
