Magazine Exercise

The three magazines that I observed were Cosmopolitan, Game Informer and XXL. While going through each of these magazines, the one thing that stood out was how mismated they were. Each of these magazines intendments to its audiences are completely different. Cosmopolitan’s purpose is to share lifestyle ideals to women around the world. Game Informers’ purpose is to share news feeds dealing with the video game industries every move.  XXL’s purpose is to promote upcoming rap artist to hip-hop fanatics.  

The five senses I used while going through each magazine were sight, hearing and touch. I was listening to each of my classmates explaining what their magazines were essentially about.  I was skimming through each magazine when they were being past around.  By doing all of that I noticed the structure of each magazine was basically the same in a sense. Again they just had very different concepts. 

Unfortunately I didn't bring a magazine or a narrative text into class. I don't have any subscriptions, nor do I ever consider purchasing a magazine. I could have brought a sample text of my favorite entertainment website, IGN, but it had completely slipped my mind. I take full responsibility for not doing so. I would like to apologize to each of my classmates in my group because of that. The text that I would've brought in could be considered very similar to the Game Informer magazine. Expect IGN branches off into more categories like movies, technology and TV. Game Informer only just deals with video games. It isn't even comparable with the two other magazines.
