Magazine Research



Objective
To source and collect similar artefacts that will act as models and stimulus for your design.

Task
Using the web (Pinterest, google search etc), reference books and actual printed examples, collect together examples of covers and double page spreads (DPSs) that interest you in terms of design.

Tip: go into a town library and photograph the cover and DPSs. Failing that, try WHSmiths in Shrewsbury.


Presentation
You have to get all of this stuff on your blog somehow. Try these methods:
Screenshot all of the Pinterest boards that you have collected.
Place all of your research photos into a Google Presentation (online powerpoint) and embed on your blog.
Make a physical scrapbook—photograph the separate pages.
Embed youtube / Vimeo videos on the subject of magazine design.

Checklist for assessment
Screenshots of pinboard (100+ pins)
Evidence of physical examples that have been photographed
Basically the post needs to reflect that you have spent a lot of time and effort looking by yourself.

Deadline
Monday the 9th of November
