Analysing Existing Magazine Covers

To ensure that I know the common conventions of school magazines I am going to analyse the Bodmin College Magazine and also the Edinburgh university magazine front covers and content pages to make sure that the magazine I produce represents the target audience as many media theorists have argued:

“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).
