Reflection

The magazine I am analyzing is the iGlass magazine. The font of the masthead gives you a little nudge about what the magazine may be about due to its futuristic look. The iGlass magazine talks about technologies of today that help the future or technologies of the future that will benefit people greatly. The Double page spreads have images in the middle of the articles to give visuals to see what the product looks like and how it may be used. The magazine about the Virtual Reality(VR) headset has little fun facts included to show even more beneficiary features about the VR headset. Image result for oculus rift

The audience of the magazine are people who are interested in the future of technology and how they will contribute to our upcoming generations. On the double page spreads they do a good job at staying specific about certain features of the device. The genre of the magazine is most definitely science fiction, because it talks about the future of technology and what they will be doing for us humans

Magazine Analysis

All of the images in the Wired magazine are next to articles that they relate to. The masthead is black on white making sure that the masthead is popping. the image on the front cover is talking about why we do not have certain future technologies that we have been imagining for years. the background of the double page spread has the technology that the 2 pages are currently talking about. Image result for wired double spread

The audience of the magazine is people who take a great interest in incoming technologies of the world. Each double page spread has the future technology that they are talking about on the 2 pages. The genre of the magazine is science fiction, because all of the topic in the magazines talk about future imagined technologies. Features of the Wired magazine that I will not use in my magazine are the bars of to the side with little articles off to the side that talk about something completely different.

 

My next magazine for my magazine analysis is the .net magazine. The cover of this magazine has light colors to match with the white net masthead. When reading the articles in the magazine they tend to have a image that takes up the first half of the page and then goes on in subtitled paragraphs. This magazines main audience is people who enjoy the technologies of today, and that may want to learn more about certain machines. The double page spread have multiple images relating to the current article and have quotes that other people have said about the piece of technology. Image result for .net magazine

The magazine does an amazing job at pulling in its audience. The magazine when talking about the technologies mention all of the pro’s and if they ever mention a con they have yet another pro to counter it. People who would be interested in this magazine are people who are into learning more about what kind of technologies we people are using today.

 

The final magazine I’m going to analyze is the Popular Mechanics magazine. The mastheads of Popular mechanics is always a color against its background making sure you can see the masthead. This magazine talks about topics in the society of technology and what we should think of them. for example on major topic is if we humans can trust robots? It does an excellent job at explaining all sides of whether to trust them or not. Image result for popular mechanic magazineThe audience of this magazine is people who want to gather more information about topics that they are uncertain about. This magazine shows people information they may have never considered of ever even known making it easier to pick a side. The genre of this magazine is science fiction as well as non-fiction due to the fact that it talks about the future of the certain technologies and how they are today.

IGlass

Me and my group member have not yet decided on our fonts in the magazine. I have my sketches, but I could not link the pictures; however, I do have a layout idea in mind. for my front cover I will have someone wearing a VR headset, and inside the magazine I will have images attached to the reading making it more visual. For other magazines to analyze me and my partner looked mainly at the magazine Wired as an inspiration to look at to base our magazine on.

Feedback

My magazine is mainly an informative and entertainment magazine for anticipated games of 2016. The Name of my magazine is The most anticipated games of 2016. I will have entertaining fonts for the titles, and have a bland font for all of the information. I will include advertisements for gaming consoles, PC, or accessories.

I have always been really interested in video games, especially those that have not been released. I find it interesting what new games have in store. My inspiration for my magazine was the magazine Game Informer. My love and drive to enhance the gaming community is what led me to creating my magazine.

For my magazine the information will include reviews providing insights about all of the games that I believe are most anticipated games of 2016. Now that these games have been released I will compare them from their reviews to their actual content

My magazines will not be sold individually, they will be sold monthly. For a one month subscription it will cost $9.99, for a 3 month subscription it will cost $25, for a six month subscription it will cost $50, and for a year round subscription $90. My magazine is focused mainly on games, and the current events within the gaming community.

To mass produce 1,000 magazines it will cost approximately $2,000. Since each magazine costs $2.00 to make each one and to buy a month subscription, or one magazine we make them pay $9.99 so we make a profit of about $8.00 this profit decreases slowly with the higher the subscription amount, but never are we not making profit out of our customers.

With my new app csgo exchange there are multiple trade bots authenticating the transactions and making sure they are safe, secure and fast.

Winter Break

My winter break was not very eventful. I hadn’t done much but lay around my house all day and played video games. On new years I had gone to my grandmas house and stayed there till 5 in the morning. My uncle from New York flew down but that is the most surprising thing that had happened over the whole break, everything was the same as if it were just another weekend.I spent more time with family and got to be closer to them, and hung out with my friends on days that weren’t holidays.
