XXL, Game Informer and Cosmopolitan.

XXL is a magazine about Hip Hop life, fashion and music. I observed from XXL and Cosmo that they each have different sections dedicated to entertainment, fashion and life. Game Informer was just about video games. XXL represented it's magazine with dark colors such as red, black and navy blue as GAme Informer had brighter complementary colors such as orange, yellow, blue and white backgrounds and Cosmo had bright colors including pink, orange, blue and green. XXL and Cosmo had big fonts that changed page to page while Game Informer had the same font but different sizes. For each magazine I used three senses, visual, touch and smell. The pages were soft and smooth. Game Informers was a little more rough but all of them had that "new' magazine smell. They looked appealing with the bright colors and interesting fonts. Each magazine had many advertisements and also stories about different people. In XXL, there was a story about T.I, in Cosmo there was a story about Zooey Deschanel and in Game Informer there was a story about Rand Pitchford. Each magazine is unique in it's own way and targets to an audience that likes the same thing. I wouldn't like to read Game Informer because I don't like video games. Cosmo was my magazine and because of it's content I would like to read magazines of the like, such as Seventeen or Vogue.
