Principles and Practices of Digital Media
Magazine – Print vs Digital
A magazine is a publication, usually a periodical publication, which is printed or electronically published. Magazines are generally published on a regular schedule and contain a variety of content.
DIFFERENCES
CHANGEABILITY AND LIFECYCLE
- more static process
- prohibitively expensive to print test batches to check on the final outcome
DIGITAL
- easier to make tweaks or changes
- preview the look before a final release
- Changes can even be made once a project has gone live
ENGAGEMENT
- conditions of how a user will come across your work is dependent on how and where the viewer will encounter the work
- competing with a lot for a viewers attention.
SENSES
- viewers to engage with content on a physical level
- the weight of the paper or canvas that will be used
- not be able to engage our sense of touch
- make the experience more immersive
SPACE AND LAYOUT
- finite amount of space to work with, ie. A5, A4 etc
- Alternatively, and intentionally disorderly composition
- Legibility and text sizing are key issues when involved in projects for print.
- Browser and screen sizes do differ hugely
- no guarantee that the design will look and feel the same from device to device or platform to platform
- familiar with responsive design
- prepared to do testing across platforms
COLOR AND RESOLUTION
- DPI and CMYK are the measurements
- determined by the quality and settings
- CMYK (cyan, magenta, yelow, key(black) ), which are the different shades of pigment used by printers

According to the comparison above, we know that print magazine and digital magazine have a lot of differences and advantages. But now just few people left reads print magazine such as the old people and most of the teenagers are prefer to digital magazine , that is i know. I thought that digital magazine is good than print magazine because digital is convenience than print. Print need to always take a book or somethings but digital no need, digital just need to carry your phone or laptop also can read in it. Next,sometimes print magazine need to use money to buy but digital magazine no need, it is free to all people.Last, i prefer digital magazine is good to read in life.
