Research: Magazine Size

There is no standard size for a magazine…different magazines have different approaches to the size.

SAMPLING OF MAGAZINE SIZES:

Readers Digest is approximately 14 cm × 21 cm (5 1⁄2 by 8 1⁄4 inches)

People Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, Money Magazine ,Fortune Magazine are 7 7⁄8” x 10 7⁄16” Final Trim Size.

But magazines such as Rolling Stone Magazine, Magazines published by Condé Nast:, WIRED, GQ, Traveler, Bon Appétit, Vogue are a standard 8” x 10 7⁄8” Final Trim Size.

Moreover, there is a term called Bleeding which means extending the background beyond the edge lines so when they are printed and trimmed, then the background wouldn’t be compromised.

Planning: Codes and Conventions

Application of codes and conventions on the genre. The above magazine follows the conventions of a teen beauty magazine. The model used for the main image is a young girl in a casual dress-up. The subtle make-up and bubbly expressions denote the innocence and youthfulness that teen girls have. The codes and conventions followed in the above magazine are bold, over the top styling, heavy make-up and extravagant props. The models in this genre usually take up looks that no woman would generally wear, so it's not necessarily a representation of women rather a creative portrayal of beauty as art.
