3rd Quarter Submission



I've made a lot of changes to my magazine since my midterm submission. Starting out with my cover, I didn't make a lot of changes to it because I was pretty satisfied with how it turned out. The only change I made was moving down the contents to the center of the page, rather than having it near the top. By making this adjustment I found the layout to be more balanced. As for the content page, I made two revisions which included me moving the contents title to the center, and adding page numbers with branding. In my table of contents revisions post I mentioned that I had difficulty moving the page numbering all the way over to the right of the page, but I managed to fix this for my 3rd quarter submission. Finally, for my magazine article page, there is a drastic difference between this post and my last revisions post. I wasn't very satisfied with my whole layout or photo selection, so I decided to change the photo to match the color scheme of the photos on my next page. When doing this, the new photo I selected was horizontal, rather than vertical so I had to rearrange the whole layout of the first page. I think this was a very good choice because now I feel like my magazine's pages flow more nicely together.

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...
