Use of Conventions

My magazine used the convention of having some of its content on the front page, while going further into depth on the content page. By using this convention I thought it would give the viewer a general idea of what is to be included in my magazine, without having to flip through at first. I also challenged the convention of adding a top line above the title, as well as an underline. While doing my research I didn't find this technique in any of the other travel magazines, but I thought it was a nice addition, adding a fancier effect to match the theme of my cover photo. My magazine can represent a variety of different social groups. It could relate to people who are visiting Florida from other places, people who live in Florida but are in need for some new activities, or travel lovers looking for a new destination to visit. This magazine gives these groups insight of what there is to do in popular cities in Florida such as Sarasota, Miami, St. Peters-burg, etc.

Target Audience Research "Travel + Leisure Magazine"

    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 ...

Target Audience "Sunset Magazine"

Image
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...
