3. This magazine is an arts and
culture magazine based on
the South Asian countries
including paintings and
sculptures.
This magazine lies in he
categories of political and
social issues of Pakistan and
it’s neighboring countries.
This is a travel magazine, which
covers many aspects travel,
tourism and sustainability. It
also seems to touch social
factors too in the magazine.
4. The background color of the
content page is chosen as
white so that the colors in the
pictures could be seen as
more vibrant. In this way the
text is also visible. The white
background also reflects upon
the simplicity of the art and a
minimalist approach towards
national art.
This picture relates to’ the marvel
of ‘Shazia Sikandar’ as it shows
the installation view of her
selects in a museum.
This picture is not related to any
of the contents which makes it
completely useless to be
reviewed on this page.
Most of the pictures were not given in the
magazine itself under any topic, which seems
like it was just added to fill up the space on the
page and was pointless, not even relating to
any of the content .
5. Rather than writing ‘contents’, it is written ‘ in the
nigaah’, which breaks the typical code of
magazines using the word ‘contents’.Sarif, in
Bigger font has been used to
The content name has been written in a relatively bolder
font relating to its description under it so that the readers
can differentiate between the description and heading.
The description is written in a less bolder font than the
main heading. The placing of each description is under
the content heading , though there is not much space
between them
The number has the same font size as the as the text, it
has been written on the level of the content heading but
has space between,. I think leaving this much space is
pointless because even a little space could have made its
point.
write to make it more visible and rather than writing the
whole thing in black ‘the’ has been written in green to add
a little diversion from a typical code of wring the whole
thing in same color and in black. Other than that There is
no spacing in words, which is also an uncommon code
used to right a main heading.
6. The Placing of the content
page is in a form of a grid
with two square and two
rectangle formation in an
opposite way on both pages
in which three parts have
pictures and one with
contents in a form of a
column. The content main
heading ’in the nigaah’, is
placed in middle as a bold
header.
As a limitation of this
content page, I think that it
was too simple relating to
all the colorful and
interesting art and crafts in
the magazine as it could
have reflected the whole
content I a mere colorful
and attractive way.
7. Like most of the magazine’s content
pages, this magazine also has the
background color as white like most of
the magazines. Overall I do think that
the white background makes things
more pop up creating a sense of
importance of other things on. Other
than that it also has a minimalist touch
to it.
The picture, like all others on the content pages of
this magazine, has its page number written in
bold white font, which makes it easier for readers
to review it. Mostly the selective pictures on the
magazine’s content page have it’s most important
articles to be reviewed so if they have the page
numbers to, it increases it’s significance.
This is one of the halves of the whole picture on both
of the content pages, as it continues onto the next
page opposite. And altogether I think it is good way of
using on large wider picture on a content page as it
also fills most of the space.
The whole content page is divided into two columns, in
which one part has contents and one pictures.
8. The page number beside the pictures really help a lot as if
someone is interested in reviewing it, they can just flip to
that page. Secondly, all the pictures shown on the content
pages show their importance in the magazine. Lastly the
black and white contrast really caught my eye, especially the
way how the number 6 is written in black out of the picture.
The article headings are not written like
all other magazines, instead the article
name or description is written with
author’s name written below in
bold font in red color . Beside the description of the article
before it the page number is written with a good amount
of space in a relatively bold but same font as the
description. Black separators have also been used to make
it easier to distinguish between the articles.
Unlike all the of the other contents, the last 2 content
names are written first in bold red font and below it’ s
description is written in black beside which the page
number is written. In the same font as all others but just
with different placing. These two contents are different
because they are not relevant to the content of the
magazine. They just include some extras e.g. Ads
9. The ‘contents’ is written in a bold font and in a
bright orange color to be more visible over pale
blue. Every letter is capitalized. Rather than I the
middle It is placed in middle it is on the left
margin. Directly under it, the issue month is
written in same bold font in white to contrast with
bright orange. Under it in small font volume
number is written.
The description of the background picture is written in
black in a form of a column. It tells the information of
the location captured and it’s significance.
The contents of this magazine are written in a white
translucent strip, through which the background can
be seen.
The content heads are written in a bold font but in same size, other
than that they are written in a purple color contrasting with color of
the sea in the background. Separators have been used between the
description and head to make it easier more the reader to
differentiate. After every description page number is written which
is commonly written beside content section.
Contact information is written at the bottom through various
means, photography credits are also given under the strip.
