Project Selection- My Decision

           For my project I have chosen to do a magazine, because I feel like my skills will be more beneficial for the magazine creation because of my artistic ability. I also really enjoy taking pictures. I took a photography class last year here at school and I have my own camera. The genre of my magazine is going to be a travel magazine on Florida. I will incorporate things such as, places to go, places to stay, things to do, etc. A main focus will be on the beaches because we have some of the best in the country. I may also include cultural aspects of the city. I think this project is a good selection for me because I have lived in Sarasota all my life, and I have all the resources right in front of me. Finally, I will be working on this project by myself.

    The second magazine I decided to research for my target audience is the Travel + Leisure magazine. I selected this magazine because its magazine contents are very similar to mine. This magazine was also one of the magazines I used for inspiration when constructing my own magazine.

Although, the Travel + Leisure magazine does not focus on just one location like my magazine did, it focuses on few select locations, and matches a theme.      The target audience of the travel and leisure magazine consists of a higher male audience percentage at 53% while the female audience is at 47%. My magazine doesn't have a specific gender target audience, although I would expect it to be either balanced between male and female, or a slightly larger female audience. The median target age range is 51 years old because of jobs and income, since traveling ...

Target Audience "Sunset Magazine"

The last magazine I decided to research for my target audience was the magazine Sunset. I chose this magazine because it includes an outdoor recreation feature that I also included in my magazine. When researching other travel magazines I discovered this feature wasn't very common, so I thought the Sunset magazine very much related to my magazine in this aspect. Sunset magazine includes sections on camping, national parks, and outdoor adventure. Sunset magazine is based in the United States, focusing mostly on the Western states. Although Florida is located in the Eastern/ Southern part of the U.S, the magazine still includes sections on these states but it does not center around them. However, I still chose this magazine because it targets the same audience in many of the other categories such as income level, age, gender, etc. Sunset magazine uses two forms to market their product; their website and their newsletter. On their website "Sunset.com" you can find the best r...
