Men's Fashion Magazine Fashion magazine is another one of the largest men's fashion magazines around the world. They built this magazine up by providing lots of fashion tips that are accessible and easy for others to consider. Rather than major celebrities on the covers like most, they have more well dressed less popular people in order to make it seem more attainable to the average individual. This is very effective and makes the audience feel better about themselves because they present affordable fashion rather than having celebrities who can afford crazy high end designer wear. There cover does feature some individuality in the sense that they have many subtitles on the cover, but they don't wrap around the figure on the cover. Instead they will sometimes interfere, and over lap the figure, making it seem less professional but still effective. The title and subtitles are always matching with the colors the figure is wearing, making everything on this page match, which...

Esquire Esquire is another one of the largest men's fashion magazines in the US. They have done this by providing great content as well as famous celebrities on there titles to draw in readers. The cover on this magazine isn't as intriguing as many, but still can attract readers. At the top of the covers, it has there magazine title in a very strange/out of the ordinary font. The cover also features a very dark, plain, background, with an image of a celebrity. This cover is much different than others because there is less subtitles than many of the other magazines.

Dapper Dan Dapper Dan is another men's fashion magazine, but is much different than the average magazine. It aims towards giving inspiration to the audience on fashion and how to do things differently than normal. The cover of this magazine is a lot different than the other magazines I researched. It features very little text and is entirely in black and white. This is a much different approach then most magazines because normally they are very exciting in order to attract lots of readers, but this magazine takes a more simple approach. This might almost attract people more because of it being much more simple than others. This magazine features many different articles and pictures of both Dapper Dan projects as well as individuals that associate with these projects. These magazines are more like a photo book rather than a magazine, which is why they don't feature any ads in them. These magazine only comes out twice a year, and the magazine itself doesn't have any particu...

After considering both the magazine and the movie, I decided to choose a magazine. I feel that this is the best choice because of the skills I present. I do photography as one of my biggest hobbies, so I feel like the final product would turn out better since I already have experience. It also has been one of my goals to come out with my own photo book, so this would be a start. Also, it could prepare me for this goal by giving me an example of how to produce one of these magazines. I would like to do a fashion magazine because that is another one of my interests, and a lot of my friends are into it as well. This would be beneficial to my project and give me a variety of subjects to take these pictures of. I will be working alone in my group, because it will be better for me to focus completely on my own, rather than having to worry about picking up somebody's slack.
