Analysing Existing Magazines

I am going to analyse two magazines front covers and contents pages. This helps me work out the common conventions that I will need in my own work. This will help me represent the needs of my target audience. As well known theorist below show creativity is not simply an instant process but:

“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).
