Analysing Existing Magazines

I will analyse two college magazine covers and two contents pages in order to establish and identify the common conventions are in magazines today and I will be including my own work to represent the needs of the target audiences. As the following statements by well known theorists show creativity is not simply an instant process but:

“A process needed for problem solving…not a special gift enjoyed by a few but a common ability possessed by most people”  (Jones, 1993).

“The making of the new and the rearranging of the old” (Bentley, 1997)

“Creativity results from the interaction of a system composed of three elements: a culture that contains symbolic rules, a person who brings novelty into the symbolic domain, and a field of experts who recognise and validate the innovation” (Csikszentmihalyi, 1996).
