Link to Magazine Page.
Cutline:
The cutline is the information which describes it. It may also be known as a caption and is usually positioned around the image. In my particular example the cutline is placed at the bottom right hand corner of the image.
Sidebar:
The sidebar is extra information placed on the same page that is contained in a separate area, normally relating to the main article, but yet secondary to it. It is used as a means of attracting the reader to delve into the main article. I think on my example this is the part and the very bottom right of the page, giving more info on the band.
Headline:
The headline or ‘head’ is the main title of that article, it is normally placed at the top of the article in a bold and noticeable font. This is used to grab the readers eye, to then read the article. On my example the headline is placed in two places, you have the page headline and the article headline. one is at the very top of the page and the other is above the article its self .
Pullquotes:
Short excerpts from text that are enlarged and set off from the page with boxes or lines. These are used for emphasis or to fit text copy into. I think this is the short caption of text placed bellow the headline on my example, its highlighted in black and placed in a yellow box.
Mugshots:
A mugshot is a picture of someone only containing the head and chest, a medium close-up. My example does not contain any pictures of this description.
Boxout:
?
Caption:
A caption is the text that will accompany an image or illustration, much like cutline. On my magazine this is located at the bottom left of the of the image, ”A Day To Remember, highly strung”
Credits:
The credits are the part on the page that detail who did what on this particular image and article, for example on my page the credits are located under the title and pullquote.
Exclusive:
An ‘exclusive’ is the offer of a story to one journalist and a guarantee that the story will not be issued to other media until they have published it. Exclusives feature in magazines, this tells the reader that they will not find this article any where else. My example does not have this featured on its page, although ‘Introducing’ is used in the same way. As if to say that ‘this is good new music, you heard it from us first’.
Lead Story:
The lead story is the main story that is featured in the magazine or on that particular page. I’m guessing the lead story on my page is the article, which is placed at the bottom of the page, covering mainly all the way from left to right.
Masthead or Nameplate:
The masthead is the main title of that magazine, normally featured in its main form on the front cover. On my example, although it is not the title of the magazine, ‘Introducing’ can be seen as the masthead of this page.
Pugs:
?
Secondary Head:
The secondary head is like the subtitle. on my example the subtitle might be the part that says ‘New music coming your way’.
Spread:
I think the ‘Spread’ may either mean where the magazine is distributed, or the layout of the page of the magazine.
Tagline:
A tagline is much like a slogan, its a simple phrase that tells of the organisations mission. i think on my page the tagline my be the part bellow the top title, ‘New music coming your way’
Splash:
?
Lure:
Something that tempts or attracts, especially one with a promise of reward or pleasure. This may also be known as a plug. This is basically something the magazine might give away to lure the reader into buying the magazine. a lure may also be something featured in the article to get the reader to buy something else, for example, the part on my page that talks about their album that’s just come out, it is luring the reader into buying it.
Cut:
?
Jumpline:
When an article is continued from one page to another, a jumpline is placed at the end of the first page to identify where the article is. my example does not contain a jumpline.
Dateline:
The place-names at the beginning of a story that tell the reader where the story occurred. A dateline includes the name of a city or town. One or a few words at the start of an article that often indicate where it was reported from. Normally set off from the body copy with a dash. On the start of the second paragraph or my example is the date line, it reads. ‘Formed in early 2004 in the city of Ocala…’
Ears:
?
Deck:
I’m not to sure on the definition, but if i had to make a guess i would say that the deck is the columns of the article.
By-Line:
The byline on a newspaper or magazine article gives the name, and often the position, of the writer of the article. Myexample does not contain a by-line.
Menu or index:
?
Photo Credit:
A line that tells who shot a photograph. this is just bellow the title on my example.
Discuss the use of colour on the magazine page.
The colours used on the page are all fairly natural, although black white and yellow are used for the titles and writing. the colour of the image remains fairly dull, with olny a few bring colours in there. the connotation of this is that maybe the band featured in the article are maybe not cheerfull, that they might be a little mysterious.
Why use a ‘dominant art’ section on the page?
Using dominant art is crucial, because most poeple when reading through magazines only stop if the picture attracts their attention. Its been said the people don’t read a magazine they watch it, pictures appear more importana than words. Using dominant art creates the attraction for them to then read the article.
Discuss how you should typography in your magazine design- not including the nameplate.
When designing the layout of my page, tyopgraphy needs to be key, the use of too much text will put the reader off, as it will seem like theres to much to read. small text makes it hard to read, but it will seem like there is less, so size is important. The colour should be the opposite to the background, but not to bright, making it easy to read. theres is alot to consider when using typography.
what is a grid used for in laying out your magazine design?
A grid is used to make the text and pictures more orgazied and easier to read.
