Market Research - Magazine Deconstruction of January 2016 'Q'



In this video, I speak about what I discovered doing this market research about the layout of the front cover, as well as what is featured on a double page spread. I found out a lot by doing this research, especially about how magazines tend to stick to an overall theme on each page, even if it is just a subtle similarity on some pages. I also noticed that because there are four people on the front cover, the font is positioned at the bottom of the magazine rather than around the sides. I did look at the contents page too, but I found it resembled a double page spread as rather than having the contents on a single page, it was on a double page. I found this interesting as it is usually the opposite, but I found that it worked as it was more spaced out and set up in a way which makes it look creative yet still maintaining the professional look.
