The Four F's

Magazine Culture 

When I make a magazine, I will need to be acquainted with what people consider the 'Four F's' to be.

Format: This is the design and layout of the magazine itself. All about the appearance of the product; the logo, the heading and subheadings, the size of the magazine as well as the cover lines. A magazine is a 'periodical publication containing articles and illustrations' 

Formula: This refers to the critique of the magazine, the pictorial approach and analogy.

Function: What is the job of the magazine? - Before the occurrence of the internet, magazines served a much greater purpose than they do today. This is why it is important that magazines keep up to date.

Frame: Margins and gutters of the magazine -these are vital in any form of publication design, as they contribute to the overall representation of the magazine and how it will communicate to its audience.

When making a magazine it is extremely significant that the house style remains persistent, as well as the quality of the magazine itself. This is so that readers are never disappointed and remain satisfied with the same/similar look and quality of the magazine that attracted them to the very first issue.
