Blog#4: September 23, 2020

 


Before creating my own magezine I must familarize myself with the history and the craft of magazenies in general.

  •  Firstly, the definetion of a magazeine would be "... a publication with a paper cover which is issued regularly, usually every week or every month, and which contains articles, stories, photographs, and advertisements." (Collins Dictionary).
  •  The term “magazine” appeared in the year 1731 with the occurrence of the Gentleman’s Magazine. The success of the magazine was great, but the costs of every issue were even higher. Printing cost was high, and the number of printed copies could not be greater than one hundred thousand, because it was technically impossible to squeeze a larger amount of paper through the machine. 
  •  Over time the popularity of magazeines has risen and fallen, however, there will still be printed magazines, no matter how popular tablet editions are. Yes, the numbers will drop but they will never die.
  •  Magazines shape our lives, telling us what to wear, what to eat, what to think about ourselves and the world around us. Although this is the age of the Internet, we continue to enjoy magazines, admire their pages, editorials, and headlines.
