For the inside spreads I sketched several different type of layout for the same article 'Consent is Consent'. The first taking a more contemporary/clean aesthetic which research suggests is popular at the moment, being both serious and playful. The second was designed to be more minimal and serious, allowing the information/ideology to be the focus and the purpose of the magazine. Many people are turning to alternative magazines in order to have a clearer sense of politics, so the information could be presented as very sensible and trustworthy. Self, the editor of Real Review magazine, says the purpose of modern magazines should be to communicate information - 'Anyone who's primary motivation is to make a magazine (rather than to communicate) is doomed from the outset'. The final sketches were for a more playful, colourful take on the feminist magazine. This was to try to appeal to young adults who are used to the constant stimulation found online, making the magazine equally stimulating with bold colour and shapes popping from the page. One worry is that this might be perceived as too childish.
