Magazine Project Research #5

The final magazine I chose for my research is a magazine called The World's Most Amazing Places. The cover photo features the most beautiful picture of mountains located in China, near the city of Zhangye. These mountains are nicknamed "rainbow mountains" for their streaming colors of red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. The cover layout consists of the magazine title right at the top, front and center with a nice white bold font. At the bottom right of the page you will find what the magazine is going to be including; 112 destinations to see in your lifetime. The kinds of articles included are exactly what is shown on the cover page. 112 of the world's most amazing places specifically articles about ancient marvels, stunning landscapes, watery wonders, sacred sites, dream resorts, extreme adventures, and iconic sites.  While I was looking through the magazine I was shocked to find that there were absolutely no ads. Every single page was dedicated to one of these amazing chosen destinations or photographs of them. As I searched the magazine title into google, nothing came up except for one being sold on E bay. I was unable to find any website for the magazine, the distribution number, or anything about awards they have received.  I found this very strange, and unusual because there was absolutely zero information about the magazine.

Target Audience Research "Travel + Leisure Magazine"

Image
    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. Both magazines, include travel guides, popular attractions to visit, beach vacations, how to pack, and more. 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 ...

3rd Quarter Submission Feedback

On Wednesday, March 21st, I presented my 3rd quarter submission to the class. After hearing their thoughts, I have a few things to fix that they suggested, and some other things I would like to fix as well. First off, I'm going to decrease the font size in my article down to size 14, as of right now it is at size 18. When I was creating my article I had the screen zoomed out, so the font appeared a lot smaller when I was editing it, compared to when I zoomed the screen back to normal size. Although, when I decrease the font size I know that I will have extra blank space in my article and I will need to fill it somehow. I could do this by either adding more content, or rearranging the layout and adding a quote, or another picture. Another feature I need to alter is the page numbering. I noticed that since my article is a two page spread, appearing side-by-side, the page numbers wouldn't both be on the right side of the page. So, I will need to change this so that the magazine ar...
