Photograph Plan

Since my magazine is primarily directed toward high school students and hopeful college applicants, my photos with consist of high school students who are participating in extracurriculars, or just school in general. I have opportunities to photograph theatre students, debate competitors, as well as student athletes. I think that in order to convey what I want to convey through my magazine, I need to photograph and interview multiple types of students, from all of the main high school extracurriculars. Therefore, I plan to photograph and interview a nationally ranked debate competitor, athletes from a team with seven consecutive state champions as well as world class athletes, and students who manage to balance school and work, or, in other cases, the performing arts and school. I plan to photograph different students participating in a variety of extracurricular activities and jobs. I will photograph a debate competitor practicing his cases in debate class, a theater student running lines in the theatre, and a variety of student athletes participating in different sports. These sports will include rowing as well as prospectively school connected sports such as cross country or track. These photographs will be included throughout my table of contents as well as to provide visuals of my interview subjects. The setting for my photoshoots will be at the venue where the school related activities and extracurriculars take place (i.e. Home Depot, rowing venue, debate classroom, theatre, track). I have plans to photograph at a rowing event this coming weekend, as well as in the debate classroom sometime this week. I am beginning to create my cover and plan my cover photo.

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...

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...
