Third Quarter Submission


This updated cover includes just two small adaptions,  including the movement of the title and subtitle back to the top left corner, as opposed to the center, where I had moved it for my post entitled "Updated Cover." I determined that it was the best decision to keep the original location, where it is still blatant to any viewer, although it does not look as if it is an ordinary magazine. Hopefully, by having my title in a somewhat abnormal and unexpected place, attention will be drawn to Get Schooled. I also moved, once again, the "Application Season Issue" subtitle. This time, I moved it closer to my white text that describes the content of my magazine in order to draw all attention, besides the title and focal point of my photo, down to the bridge. I felt my cover text was too spread out and busy when I included that line of text in the water, or in the top left corner. These are two changes that perfect the neat, appealing, and professional cover of my magazine to make it appear just as I planned it would.
I updated my table of contents quite substantially. I felt it was necessary to encase more photos of what will be included throughout my magazine, so I added several more photos from my multiple photoshoots. This decision was also made in order to create a more organized and neat table of contents, since it is the main outline of my product, therefore making it extraordinarily important to the overall impression of Get Schooled. Two of the photos on the top and bottom left side are from the same shoot as my cover photo. When I was in Boston for the Head of the Charles Regatta, I took the opportunity to take some scenic photos including the top photo of a field of rowing shells owned by the participating teams, and the bottom photo that showcases a team of eight rowers taking part in the race on the Charles River. The middle photos are from a photoshoot I have previously mentioned in multiple blog posts with student-athlete and Model UN participant Marguerite Andrich, as well as the honor-student star of a Florida high school's theater program, Keara Escobedo. The top right photo is of Charles Karcher, the subject of my two page article, and the bottom right photo is from a college fair. The top primary photo on this page is from the same event. In addition to adding more photos, I added the corresponding page numbers in order to make the readers who are interested in a specific photo have easy access to the page number so they can flip there immediately. This was a decision made in regard to convenience and the important of convenience to the readers. I also added my advertisement for my website in the bottom left corner in order to make my magazine more realistic and to incorporate the online media aspect of the magazine industry.
I did not change anything regarding my two-page article from my updated version other than adding my website to the bottom left of each page in order to further incorporate the online magazine media industry, since after researching the importance of media and technology in the creation of a magazine I have realized how integral it is to the production of my product.

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...
