Target Audience Research 2

See the source imageAnother part of my target audience are adults in their 20s or 30s. According to my research, Porter magazine has an older target audience, but is still relevant to my target audience of the youth division. Their magazine is predominantly of the female demographic, which matches my target audience. They appeal to women of all ages, which means that they can still be relevant to my magazine. They capture women empowerment and confidence among women. They also have a specific set of pages for this topic and several major articles about women achievement, which i plan on capturing. In terms of geography, they're fairly accessible everywhere, but are limited to about 60 countries -- predominantly in the U.S. and the U.K. The magazine is also relatively easy to read and understand, so education level isn't an issue. It might although pose as a problem for some people money-wise because the magazine is $9.99 USD. Some may not find this appealing; but for the price, it's relatively worth it because it's as thick as a book and has a myriad of content.

Image result for porter magazine websitePorter magazine is a growing magazine, with a circulation of 152, 000 that places it in the same level as British Vogue, which had circulated about 192, 000 issue. The magazine itself isn't big on advertisement, such as billboards, television ads, etc. They, although, do have a striking and successful website that many audiences are attracted to. This makes enough revenue for them to succeed as a product, but they're recently taking a sizable amount of money for advertisement opportunities to make it more popular. They're mostly just distributed on the shelves of supermarkets; but besides that, there isn't much that goes into advertisement. Along with the website is their app, which boosts the entire package of the magazine itself. The magazine is subtle, simplified, and takes some of the greatest women in the fashion industry to be featured; which makes their magazine a success.

Behind the Scenes (Article)

I didn't get much photos of me taking the photos to show production because the person I called over did not arrive in time and it was salient for us to be finished by 10, hence here are two pictures of me taking a picture during one part of the photo shoot.

Project Selection - Magazine

Print journalism is an easy choice to make; but, the production of the magazine itself can be easily overwhelming, but vibrant and aesthetically pleasing in the end. Print journalism screams the expression of a brand; it defines the brand itself. I've made a cover page of a magazine before and it actually turned out great, so print media might be a good choice -- considering that I have a little background knowledge. Based on the elements I learned from my class -- AICE Media Studies -- the magazine analysis and the blog samples did wonders in outlining my process. I saw what a magazine could look like, which is simple and not too overwhelming with vibrant colors or bold text designs. Other blog posts concerning magazine showed me what the blog should look like, what to do, and what not do. I like to consider myself to be an artistic person, I like my ideas to be aesthetically pleasing, and I'm pretty much extra in a lot of aspects of my art. So, considering my artistic capabil...

Table of Contents (Option 1)

This is my first draft on my table of contents. I have another idea for the table of contents, so that's coming up next. This idea came from Porter magazine. I really like it as it's simple and striking at the same time. This is what it's most likely going to look like, but the magazine has section titles and I might add it later on during the process because it separates different articles and ideas within the magazine. I might also add a little color to the section titles if I choose to do it because a plain table of contents doesn't give aesthetics. I'm thinking for the magazine title to also be colored, so it doesn't look bland. Most magazines I saw only had a single color and it seemed bland to me, which I didn't really like.
