CHAPTER ONE
BACKGROUND OF STUDY
This project is all about the design and implementation of a web based automated E-magazine system which is going to be an online magazine that will be featuring a lot of event for heart magazine which is my case study and this system will operate like every magazine but the only difference is that this is going to be subscribing from it annually to read information from it.
Magazine began as genteel soap boxes which literate man expounded their point of view, in essay or satire. Daniel Defoe started the fist English magazine, the Review during or just after his imprisonment for criticizing the Church of England. His purpose: a statesman of better offers his comment, criticism and satire to influence public taste. The audience is composed of member of the same social science that is the subject of most of the magazine’s writing. Over the form of the Review set the form for British journals. Four small pages, dense print, few illustration (except some engraved borders and lettering) and most of the compelling force contained in the acerbic, airborne sarcasm of the text.
Joseph Addison, a high bred moralist and social critic, followed the form in his essays for his friend Richard Steele’s Tatier. When the Tattler folded Addison created the specter, the most famous of the early British journals. It looked just like newspapers of the time. A daily 8 x 12 – ½ and quot: one page paper, printed on both sides. Again tiny print, again on illustration, and maybe half a column of classified ads. Historians consider it a magazine because instead of news, it printed comment each issue was written by entirely by Addison or Steele, occasionally by a friend.
