(Thrasher Magazine)
(Sidewalk Magazine)
When researching and planning before creating my own media product, it is essential that I research a wide variety of genres, other than just my own. By looking into conventions of other genres I am able to broaden my horizon's and give myself other ideas and designs that I may not have contemplated otherwise.
Personally I am not overly fond of common conventions used in skateboarding magazines. I find the large fonts and overcrowded covers to be invasive and in your face. However, in almost all instances of skateboard magazine covers, the cover image is an action shot of a skater. A common technique used is the layering of this image, with the skater overlapping the title. I am fond of this technique and believe I could use similar features in the creation of my own media product.
