The author chose page numbers for key features in their magazine based on the symbolic meanings of numbers. They used the number '23' for a feature on transforming one's look because 23 represents many things that happen in life, linking to transformation. They also used '6' as the page number for an exclusive interview, as page 6 is a signature spot in fashion magazines and known as the 'gossip' page full of information, appealing to the target audience.
1. I did some research into what numberswereaesthetically pleasing,
and had the most meaningbehind them. I took this information and
applied it to the page numbersof the most importantfeatures in my
magazine. For example, I used the number ‘23’on the featurein which
I have created named ‘Transform your look’; I felt that this was
perfect, because (as shown in the screenshot below) the number 23 is
related to the most things that happen in life. Therefore, I felt this
linked to transforminga look.
I also used the number ‘6’to be the page number for the exclusive
interview with the main model‘AnnieSilver’, I felt that this was perfect
because ‘page 6’ is always a key feature of fashion magazinesand is
constantly referred to in films like ‘Sex and the City’. This is also is most
commonly known for beingthe ‘gossip’ page, with the most information
and facts in, therefore I thought that this fit well, and would appealto
my target audienceperfectly dueto its infamousqualities.
