Cover photo

I have chosen this picture for my cover because not only is it a beautiful picture I took when I was in Boston, Massachusetts, but it also overlooks the Harvard University boathouse. This represents the collegiate aspect of my magazine, as well as the successes that are deemed possible and feasible if you take the advice granted to you through the magazine. "Get Schooled" is a fun, yet informative piece of literature that will enable my readers to go on to be intelligent and well prepared college students. This picture is perfect to portray my message because of its beauty and charm that will undoubtedly draw attention to it, but also because of the fantastic colors, and, of course, the Harvard boathouse with the signature crimson roof that shows the excitement that corresponds with the endless possibilities that the college application process allows. I want this magazine to inform kids and allow them to realize this is a magical time in their lives that they will remember forever, but I also want them to take it seriously. This photo represents the serious academic and extracurricular rigor required for college admissions, but also the beautiful result that will come from years of hard work and dedication. Boston is widely known as a dream spot for many students to attend college, so for these reasons, this photograph captures the essence of my magazine.

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...

Reoccurring Features

The sections that will appear in every issue will consist of "Wise words from an educator," "Ten Majors Worthy of Consideration" and "How To Be Successful." "Wise Words from an Educator" will contain a new interview with an educator every issue, containing advice not only for managing high school, but also for college. This will be helpful for all students working on getting their high school and college diplomas, but especially the wide range of students who plan to become educators themselves. By gaining knowledge from educators of all backgrounds and ages, my readers will be able to gain insight into what it really takes to become a teacher or professor. Throughout the issues, I would plan to interview a variety of elementary school teachers on how they got into their field of work, middle school teachers about how to be prepared for high school, (I hope to widen my audience beyond high school students and college applicants, I want to pro...
