Take a magazine and remove all the text with a sharpie. Select three pages from the magazine that you find interesting and write about it – Simple.
Redacting the magazine is the easy part. In selecting I first chose the page with the children and the bears. Without the context have we now discovered giant children somewhere and have teddy bears finally arrived on our shores? Another part of the children’s image raises the question what are they looking at?
The second page I found interesting for the reason you can still understand what its about. A church on a route in the NW of Dorset.
The final selection was a page whose layout seemed to be repeating over and over in the magazine. I can not be sure if it is formula or lazy in the production
The first encounter with this task certainly made me wonder why. Having now completed the task it is clear that it causes one to take time to explore images and page layouts.
