Magazine Project Planning-Teen Vogue

Teen Vogue is similar to Seventeen magazine, since they are both aiming toward the same audience and include some of the same features. This magazine relates heavily to my magazine since it also covers social issues that concern teens in today's world, as well as advice and help on getting through high school and not college. The cover layout of Teen Vogue includes a lowercase "teen" in a white, bold font, followed by a polished, pink "VOGUE," which is visually appealing and draws attention to the title, without taking away from the closeup of Austin Mahone that appears underneath the title. In opposition to Seventeen, Teen Vogue has subtitles lining the left side of the cover, also in pink and white lettering. The colors that appear most often are black and white, which gives the magazine a sophisticated appearance. The occasional pop of red or green allows for the visuals of the issue to remain interesting and appealing. The same font is used throughout the whole magazine, typically in small black letters wit the occasional bolded name or brand to express the importance of something or to draw attention to it. Articles included in Teen Vogue occur on pages 56, 70, and 84. These articles are about one of the youngest Academy Award nominees ever named Quvenzhané Wallis, a New York City designer named Sandy Liang, and a breakout actress named Elena Kampouris. Advertisements occur regularly throughout the magazine, including those for Juicy Couture on page 85, one for a Marc Jacobs fragrance on page 71, as well as a two page Sunglass Hut ad on pages 74 and 75. The magazine includes a large number of pictures, ranging from photos of fashion trends, such as Prabal Gurung shoes, to photos of Italy, to photos of the cover star, Austin Mahone. Photos take up the majority of the magazine, there are few pages without a surplus of color and photographic elements. The circulation of Teen Vogue is 1,045,813. The magazine has won the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Magazine Overall Coverage in 2014.

Creative Critical Reflection: Technology Integration

This product was created and researched entirely online, including the use of Blogger to outline my process, as well as entirely online research into other magazines and products that allowed me to discover further how companies like Conde Nast create such an immense and diverse amount of products that have and will continue to develop the magazine industry. My product is in part based off of the clever and clearly successful business plan and distribution model created by Conde Nast, especially involving their use of online websites and social media to further advertise and showcase their products to consumers. By using a new, up to date, and model that appeals to younger consumers, online magazine developments have been hugely successful regarding the recent changes in technological integration into the magazine industry. Without this new turn of events, the print magazine industry would be failing, but with the integration of online magazine production and distribution, the industry...

Three Revisions

I have now uploaded the updated versions of all four of my original pages. My three primary revisions included changing the color of my title and all other major texts, such as my table of contents, the name of my interviewee Charles Karcher in my two-page article, and the "Application Season Issue" subtitle that illustrates the importance of this specific issue. The much needed change in color has provided a nice alternative element to my magazine that represents a more diverse and interesting environment as opposed to the very unexceptional black and white draft that I first created. By adding a nice, dark, yet professional crimson red, it not only further elevated the visual appeal of my magazine, but it also drew a further connection between the prestigious Harvard University by using their signature color as my main theme. This was in part to match the colors expressed on my cover by the Harvard boathouse that appears on my cover, and also because it complimented my maga...

Target Audience Research Teen Vogue

Image
Teen Vogue Condé Nast, the publisher of Vogue, The New Yorker, Wired, GQ, and Allure, publishes Teen Vogue.  The magazine is targeted for teenage girls between the ages of twelve and seventeen. It was first introduced to teens when the first issue was published in 2003, featuring Gwen Stefani. About 3.6 million readers are audience to the print magazines, including subscriptions and newsstands. The online website also generates an impressive audience. Social media accounts for 22.98% of website visits, proving that social media is a large part of the revenue of Teen Vogue. However, display advertising only accounts for 0.44% of website traffic, proving that teens prefer to search for websites or be referred to them by social media, specifically Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit. Ads no longer prove to be an influential way of creating revenue, so it would be more appropriate to focus my ads on social media rather than print ads or webs...
