Task 3: Part 1
For this part i created a glossary of different examples of terminology associated with magazine design. I'll include short definitions for each piece of terminology so that i am aware of what each of them mean so if i ever need to refer back ill be able to understand.
- A recognisable masthead: A recognisable masthead has a running theme and is the same for each of the same magazine which includes the magazine title.
- Plugs & Puffs: A plug draws the audience in for example a competition, the selling point of the magazine.
- Colour scheme: colour schemes are the main colours than run through the magazine, noticeably. The kind of colours can depend on the calendar month, for example july and august using yellow and pink summery colours. Also the colour can depend on gender as genders can be attracted more to particular colours.
- Pull quote: pull quotes are important and drawing sections from the main or a big story that are placed on the front cover.
- Main cover line: The main cover line is not the masthead but a large line of text introducing a big part of this issue.
- Date line: The date line is the official name for where the date is placed.
- Left third: The left third is left section on the magazine front cover, usually the busiest as its what you can see when the magazines are stacked.
- Serif font: A serif font is a style of font for attraction rather than information.
- Genre: The genre of a magazine is the type of magazine, and what its about for example music.
- Audience: The audience is who the magazine is written for and who all the features are aimed at.
-Ideologies: A powerful idea.
-Price: Letting the buyer know how much the magazine costs.
-Barcode: A scanning device for the shop assistant.
-Issue number: To seperate each of the issues from each other so we know which one comes in which order.
