Revised Two Page Article

Revised Page 2


My original two-page article was very bland and had no images or colors. I added my standard Harvard crimson color to the interviewer questions and the interviewee's name in the preface of the article. This color also happens to match, almost perfectly, my subject's sweatshirt in the second picture of him. This creates a very put-together appearing theme that fits what I am going for in creating this magazine. I also added page numbers in the same font, font-size, and color that I had on my Table of Contents. This also corresponds with my limited, yet visually appealing color scheme that portrays Get Schooled's professional aspect and should appeal to the audience of students who are looking to gain insight into the college application process by reading this article. By appearing very simple with few bursts of color, it makes the entire appearance of this article more meaningful than including a larger amount of unnecessary colors that would create less of a sense of professionalism. The two pictures I now included of Charles are of him first giving a speech in debate class, and secondly working on a case. I scheduled these photo shoots on different days in order to create a broader sense of diversity. The overall image of my article is substantially better than before.

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...
