Revisions

I attended a college fair in which schools from around the country came to a local high school. Included schools were the University of Florida, Bucknell University, Lynn University, among others. Here, I took a series of photos in which I chose one to use for my magazine. It is a good angle and a good view of the entire setup. You can clearly see multiple college advisers and their booths. I also have a photoshoot planned for this weekend in which I will be able to take pictures of other students who I will interview, so that will be another revision I can use. I also added page numbers and am working on revamping my table of contents. I still need to make my title bigger on my cover and I need to arrange a photoshoot with Charles, which I may also be able to accomplish this weekend, of if not, after school one day this week or next. I will upload my revamped table of contents after I edit it down, right now I have all of the page numbers and storied listed, but I feel as if I only need the more important articles and features listed. I plan to add this picture as well as pictures of a theatre student I am interviewing, and a student-athlete I am interviewing. My pictures of Charles may appear on the table of contents as well, but I plan more to add those to my two page spread in order to jazz up my article. I will update on my revisions again after I have made more progress. I am also currently in the process of researching my target audience.

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...
