Study Task 04 - How Do You Read?

Study Task 04 - How Do You Read? - Figure/Ground

Following the lecture based on figure/ground, by using the magazine that we all brought in. We need to examine in groups with other magazines that other people have brought in, by observing how central the figure sits within the background. The 'figure' does not need to be a similar to a human figure, text and other features that are generally assumed to be the focal point will also constitute the 'figure' element.

During this Study Task, we need to pay particular attention to how that background is produced and the connotations that come from both the utilisation of space and the use of particular stocks. In groups we need to discuss that presents our observations which he design of different types of print magazines and the market that they relate to.
