Project selection- Magazine

At this time, I am considering creating a magazine. Media studies class has taught me that print media is one of the oldest and most basic forms of communication. It is essential for keeping track of historical and future events. I have learned from other films like The Newsroom and Nixon that the documentation of past events helps the occasions to be remembered and studied by others.

Writing a magazine would be a good fit for me because I enjoy writing and art. I would be confident in making different design ideas. I would also enjoy using photographs to portray my information, and using a format that makes my reader interested in what to say. I like to travel a lot so I have photographs from the different places I have been, most recently being Europe. After reading a magazine about travel in class, I feel inspired to create my own travel magazine using my experiences.

I am creative and have good magazine ideas. This project will allow me to express my thoughts and ideas by using my own pictures. I will be able to use my imagination. I won't have to worry about working with others or disagreements because I will be working on my own.

This project may be difficult because there is a lot of creativity involved. If I cannot come up with anything to write in my blog then it will be boring and unappealing to read. I will also have to learn how to use Photoshop to edit my images and overlap my titles onto the pages.

Audience Engagement Post- Arizona Highways

Image
 The magazine Arizona Highways uses Twitter to sell shirts, books, and stickers. I like how the T-shirt can be for both boys and girls so that anyone can buy it. Although This shirt only comes in one size. It probably cannot be worn by everyone. If my magazine could sell clothes, I would want to sell baseball style caps with creative logos on the front. Caps can be worn by boys and girls, and they can be adjusted accordingly. Hats would be more efficient because they come in one size. Hats are normally not that expensive too.

My Target Audience

The audience my magazine is targeting is for any ages, but the people who may be the most interested in it would be teenagers. This is because most of the content is bases on clothes and activities that teens like to use and do. Although any age group would enjoy looking through my magazine, teenagers could get the most out of my pages. Specifically, this magazine is for teenagers that are traveling and want to be with the current style and fashion of 2020. Most of the content viewed at in my magazine is based around more feminine styles and activities. This magazine will probably draw the attention of young teens that like to be up to speed with the latest trends.
