The earliest form of e-zines derived from fan-
zines which targeted small groups of people
who all share in the same types of
interests.
These were all low budget productions often made in the comfort of ones
bedroom and photocopied.
These examples are all from the punk ages and therefore all
resemble to same type of look.
All black and white or one colour (which
made the brand stand out from the
rest of the existing
fanzines at that time) because it was cheaper to photocopy.
Collage type of style, cut and pasted. Often from
new papers to rebel against power and control of the media and country
leaders.
Picture cut our from
other publications to support the idea of ruggedness
and rebelling
Writing at all different angles which is unconventional and
highlights its values. “Made of paper 2” stands for the second
issue and also drawing reference to actual newspapers, suggesting
its just as important
These types of e-zine are not
accessible online anymore, they
were purely print in that day and
age
Carries a Orange, Black and White colour scheme
throughout the e-zine
A lot of white space makes the e-zine look minimalistic which is a very new and trendy making it
stand out and appeal to a young audience
Fonts the same through the e-zine, headings and titles bolder than the articles font.
Its a traditional font which we can gather from the serif’s, it makes the e-zine look official and
aimed at a higher target audience
The e-zine moves across rather than down like most webpage's
which mimics the idea of reading a magazine much more
This e-zine has the ability to turn the page
making it much more
interactive. It looks much
more professional and
pretty to the reader enticing them to keep
reading
Mimic's conventional
print magazine like a mirror, doesn't use
internet format to its advantage Pictures placed around the
outside of the articles rather than in the middle on full page
spreads
Dark colour schemes broken up by the write writing, exact opposites make it stand out
and catch attention
Pictures over the whole page, unconventional for a magazine however will appeal to target audience as this magazine is a recipe magazine and its main
focus is foodImages are cleverly
placed, uses the rule of thirds to catch the audiences attention and lead their eye to
the image
Text surrounds the focus of the image and makes it stand out from the rest
of the page
Other e-zine from ISSUU also have the picture as the main
attraction to the page with the text surrounding them where every they
are. Quirky layouts attract the target
audience of ISSUU, people with niche
interests in art, cooking and travel,
for example.
All ISSUU e-zine have a front page to each e-
zine and the issue within that range of e-
zine. Makes it look more like a magazine
and attracts the audience by making a
first impression
Ability to turn pages increases the interactivity and image of the e-zine, it looks a lot more slick and professional
This e-zine is in the form of an
online PDF file.
Scroll down through the pages of the magazine as opposed to skipping
across or turning the pages as if the publication was print
No front page like a
conventional e-zine, starts with
a blank page and the title very small in
the bottom left of the page, as well as the e-zine provider (destructed)
Ezine about art however does not
contain any articles about the piece or
the artist themselves which
is very unconventional. Its different to others,
its a lot more visual.
Block capital font to show dominance and boldness which is what art is all about, it links
to subject matter. Reinforces the idea of a formal publication while the rest of the e-zine
defies everything you would expect
No set colour scheme, all seems to be lack and white from all of the e-
zine produced by destructed
Full page layouts are unique to this
publication and make it stand out
