Naming Options

In order to create a magazine that will please my audience and ensure my magazine will come across the way I want it to come across, I need a name that expresses the message I am trying to convey. My current list of ideas includes the following:


-Student Life
-The Beginning of the Rest of Your Life
-Preparation is Key
-Are You Ready For It?
-Prepare, Preempt, Prosper
-Your Next Step
-Get Schooled
-The Beginning of Everything
-College, Coping, Creating
-Coping with College
-Coping with College (a high schooler's guide to all things college)
-Preparing for Preparation (getting ready for college which will get you ready for the rest of your life)
-Commit, College, Create
-Commit and Create

Of these names, I there are a few standouts. I believe that it is now between "Get Schooled" and "The Beginning of Everything." These titles are fun and would hopefully spark interest in customers in my product's age range. "Get Schooled" would be a clever and fun title that would subtly take the edge off of the stress involved with college applications and admissions. I want my magazine to be helpful in this process, but at the same time I want it to be a break from high-achieving student's stressful lives. When experiencing this magazine, I want my audience to gather information and insight regarding what they want to do with their lives, but I don't want it to be another textbook or SAT prep packet that does little to help students and more to stress them further. My magazine needs a perfect title to portray all of this in one short phrase. For these reasons, I think that "Get Schooled" would be an ironic and intriguing title to use. I will confirm what title I chose on my first cover draft.

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

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...
