- Genre: Environmental Magazines
- Content: Environmental magazines aim is to provide information about environmental
issues and to share ideas about the Earth’s diverse terrain. It goes hand in hand with
travel magazines because it features many aspects of the world. The goal of these
magazines is to encourage a sustainable lifestyle and promote a sustainable future.
Some examples of content would be stats on global warming and climate change,
ways to use renewable energy, and appealing landscapes and environmental scenarios.
I can add to the visual strength by enhancing the color (which also correlates with production.)
The color theme would be green and blue, representing the Earth. - Production: Due to the numerous photos, an environmental magazine could be costly. One of the
most important aspects to magazines and photos, is its color. A way around the expensive
production costs is to use many photos that are smaller in size, and still fill up a page. Another
appeal of magazines is the longer “life” they have. While newspapers are discarded, magazines
can be kept for days, weeks, and years. Because of this, magazines need to have high-quality
paper and ink to produce that visual appeal. Again, this is costly, so the environmental article
should have different modules taking up space to balance the cost of production. Maybe a
“How-To” section that gives examples of easy sustainable methods of living, or a “Did You
Know” with facts about animals.
In the environmental magazine clearly labeled, “Environment”
the cover alone tells readers what they need to know. As an environmental
magazine, the main purpose is to teach readers to appreciate their surroundings,
this cover is titled “Paying for Change” which embodies it. The colors are the same
scheme that I think matches the topic, green for land, and blue for the water. The appealing
question on the cover asks if foreign aid is really green. By reading this magazine it is clear
that the audience will take away valuable information about the environment.
5. Sample 2: Orion
This sample to a more simplistic approach, but still embodied the environmental
magazine genre. The same 2 colors are shown “coexisting”, green and blue.
The specific goal of the Orion is to “focus on nature, culture, and place addressing
environmental and societal issues.” All environmental magazines plan on accomplishing this.
The specific issue is all about the promotion of coexisting, and how humans should respect animals.
The Orion is a non-profit magazine that hopes to enlighten those who read it.
