Creative Critical Reflection Draft #2

 2. How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?
My product engages with audiences by appealing to their interests. In my magazine I tried to incorporate activities that I thought people would come to visit Florida for. For example, we have some of the best beaches in the country so I incorporated a large section on that. Also, theme parks in Florida are a major factor, people all around the world travel to Orlando, just to come to some of our best theme parks like Disney, Universal, Busch Gardens, etc. I also tried to engage with my audience by providing content so that both genders and people of all ages could relate and have something appeal to them. To successfully distribute my media text I plan on distributing my product through newsstands. So you would find it in airports, supermarkets, convenience stores, hotel lobbies, etc. Also for further exposure I think it would be a good idea to also produce a website, and have other social media chains such as Instagram, Facebook, etc. So that the larger digital audience will have a better chance of coming across my magazine, and purchasing one if they're interested.

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...
