Please go and spend some time in the magazine section of the bookstore. Spend some time leafing through magazines that you are attracted to. Good design aesthetic. Take photos of the spreads that you like. Find a magazine about a topic that you are interested in but the aesthetic of the magazine is poor. Ex. Tea Time / horrible design but you love tea:) / start to ask yourself could I expand the target market by changing the voice of this magazine. Take photos of where the magazine is located in the rack and what is by it. You will use these as reference to know how to design it in comparison to it's competition. Purchase the ugly magazine. You will be copying out one of the main feature stories to redesign the layout and the front cover of the magazine.
See you Friday!
