Target Audience Research 3

Just like I said, a part of my target audience are teenagers. According to my research, Teen Vogue also has the same target audience -- as suggested by their magazine name. When I say teenagers, I mean predominantly teenage girls are their target audience. The magazine itself focuses on fashion, which is also my plan of focus, but they're also beginning to focus on politics and correct events, which I believe is also significant in a successful magazine that I plan on focusing also. They're also fairly accessible, same as their parent magazine, Vogue. The contents of the magazine are fairly understandable to most audiences, but there may be some technical terms that could be involved when they mention current events or politics, so that might pose as a slight issue -- other than that, education level is not an issue. It's around the same price as the parent magazine, Vogue, so it shouldn't pose as a problem in terms of income level; but, it's definitely geared towards teens who are fashionable and are capable of buying such apparels.

Teen Vogue magazine has about 7.9 million viewers only in the US, making it a relevant and popular magazine. The magazine is largely advertised in stores, where people may see it in the ends of the registers while checking out. Another part of their marketing and advertising is dominated by social media platforms such as: Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. This is a technological age, where people are so attached to their screens and social media is becoming a major influencer. Advertisement in social media brings more people into the magazine because it's practical and popular. They also have a site with a myriad of subscribers for their content.

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.
