National Geographic- Traveler

Newsstand VisitPopular Science because innovation magazines are one of

the type that I read.

National Geographic because the central image with the cover lines are aesthetically pleasing.

National Geographic's Traveler has the best photography and design because of the fonts, central image, and yellow border which is National Geographic’s signature look.

Popular Mechanics’ magazine had the best articles and a table of contents that intrigued me because I want to be an engineer.

ReflectionEach magazine has a different look

National Geographic has a yellow border

People has a cluttered cover

Skeptic has a organized cover

Traveler was the photo that caught my attention because it is my genre and the layout is organized.

TravelerThis magazine is mainly about the Top 20 places to

visit in the world. San Francisco being the top and Port Antonio, Jamaica being the twentieth.

Central ImageCentral images are photos of landscapes, people are not

present in most of them but a building is. They are mostly extreme long shots.

The photo is taken outside

The masthead is normally white but in some issues it is black or blue. All the magazines have a yellow border along the perimeter and has the National Geographic logo on top of the “T” in Traveler. The main cover line is on the left third while the other cover lines are on the right third

Favorite Cover The grey makes the yellow more

noticeable

The person walking along the rocks makes my feel that I can be there and I am able to do what he is doing.

The words “A Scottish” are yellow which pops out and tells the reader what this issue is about

The blue hue for the cover lines pop out but not enough to draw my attention away from the main cover line

Table of ContentsThey say “National Geographic Traveler” above the

word “Contents”

They have about 3-6 articles

The photo on the cover is given credit and tells the reader what page to turn to so they can read about it

The photo is a calming photo that draws the attention of the viewer

The text doesn’t interfere with the main object of the photo, it goes around the object

Two-Page SpreadThe two page spreads both have one large image with

people in them and they are taken outdoors mostly.

The text goes around the photos because the photos are one of the main parts of the articles
