Magazine Genre Research

TRANSPORTATION/MOTORSCAR & DRIVER MAGAZINE

MY VISIT TO THE NEWSSTAND

• The Car & Driver Magazine caught my eye the most. It had the best looking central image. The magazine was at the front of the news stand and popped out at me as soon as I walked in. The mast head covers the upper ¼ of the page and the central image covers about the rest of the page.

REFLECTION ON NEWSSTAND VISIT

• I learned at the newsstand that the magazine with the best looking central images caught my eye the most. The central image was more important than the masthead.

MOST INSPIRATIONAL MAGAZINE

• The most inspirational magazine to me was car & driver. It had the cleanest and most appealing look.

• The central image is generally one or more new exotic or sport cars. The angle the photo is taken from is always in the front. They are either taken on the road or in a studio. Most of the magazines have the same layout, and they all have the same exact masthead.

FAVORITE COVER IMAGE

This cover is my favorite because I am I big truck person. This magazine is relevant to my interests. Also I think it is a very clean and appealing layout.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

• The table of contents pages change in all of the car & drivers magazines. They all contain a image of a car.

• They are pretty similar. They each contain multiple images of cars, and give information about the car.
