I found today really useful in the development of my ideas as I was able to show some of my research I had collected such as visuals etc. After having the oppurtunity to discuss and get some feedback about my current research I have decided to use the content of Gun Mart magazine as opposed to the Sun. Although High Fashion magazines rely heavily on images, After using many of the images fropm the Sun for part 2 of the project I noticed that using image sof such low res proved a problem. The highest quality images would have to be used in association with my ideas and therefore the Gun Mart content would be the best solution even though they arent the best quality either.

A Trip To My Local Newsagent.


Ive started to search for some inspiration by researching and making comparisons between the front cover and article layout's of current fashion magazines such as Vogue and I.D. So I went to my local newsagents and started to take some pics of various Fashion magazines so that I can use them for future reference.

Part 3: Initial Ideas

Although I have enjoyed working within a group I think part three is going to be interesting as it requires ius to work individually so Ive started to think about some ideas for part 3 of the project. After working with two low quality publications that both have a limited shelflife and are creatred on a budget I have started to think of ways in which I could estabish a contrast between them both by taking inspiration from high quality magazines such as high fashion and lifestyle magazines. I thought of developing this idea further and by taking content from eithar/or the publications which are primarily newsprint and place it within a sophistciated design inspired by the layout from glossy magazine's such as Vogue and Countrylife. I have started to take inspiration from the layout of these magazines and start to develop my ideas. I think this would evoke a new meaning to the publiations Image and text which I have previously been working on for part one and two of the project.
