Context Of Practice: COP - Practical Work

Magazine Research

For this brief research has been conducted into different types and brand of indie magazine, indie magazine are generally small press, a book or magazine publisher whose publications appeal to small, niche audiences, and are typically not distributed widely. Since magazine design has been made easier now due to the digital age just about anyone can create a magazine. ‘One reason is that it's really easy to publish your own magazine now’ ‘If you have the idea then there are loads of free, or relatively cheap, tools to make it with.’(Orr, 2015) is a quote used in the essay stating how easily this process now is in the new digital age, the essay discusses how print is now being used to promote the raise of these magazine for a more specialised market. Due to this influence in the essay for the document being created for the brief as combination of print and digital media piece, indie magazine have been selected.

For the cover magazine will need to be picked that give artistic freedom for the cover, use editorial design in a more interesting way compare to the usual basic magazine cover (text heavy, celebrity style magazine). These magazine will need to be differently design covers, they will need to show how these styles can work for range of designs and how these style can be applied to this style of magazine and the rise in this print industry.
