Because I was not in class on Wednesday (alarm was set for 8:20 pm not am!), I was not assigned a time period. Not knowing that they were assigned by every five years, I chose my favorite issue of Lonny Magazine, which unfortunately is from 2013. This was interesting when we met in groups and compared time periods. In my group we had magazines from 1890, 1930, 1995, 2010, and 2013 (if I am not mistaken). Having an odd year was interesting as it allowed us to see the immediate transition between years, assuming we are all up to date on 2015 design magazines.
Some things we noticed was how images we not a huge focus for magazines in the beginning, but now they seem to dominate the entirety of an issue. Another thing was details, like how they utilize colors used in the images in the text, or graphic details that make an issue less Times New Roman-y.
