Design Brief for a Magazine
I will be creating an appropriately styled teen magazine. It will contain cover issues about teenagers and their day to day life, what problems they go through as teens and tips on fashion. It will also contain latest gossips about celebrities and information about movies and other topics which are aimed at teenagers and their interests. It will also contain pictures which I will be providing to go with each individual article. I also intend to create a barcode and wish to include a date of issue so that the people reading the magazine will always know which magazine is up to date. I will occupy most of my space with pictures and there will also be a lot of interesting articles.
The intended audience are teenagers. Especially girls; because they are the ones who get more interested in magazines that include gossips, fashion tips and celebrities articles. Even though I should use a wider range of topics to make sure that other ages and genders read the magazine; I think it is more appropriate to only include features for females. Mostly because the range of females that read magazines is much wider than the range of males who read different styled magazines. The age range is from 12-18.
The name of the magazine will be ‘Reality VS Fantasy ‘. I will be publishing my magazine bi-monthly so I have enough time to do research for the magazine and also because I will need to process the actual publishing of the magazine and the time to create the magazine.
I have reviewed a magazine called ‘Teen Vogue’. The features I like about this magazine are the different types of manuscripts which I will be including in my magazine. I also liked the title which is in two different styles, texts and colours; I will also be using this feature as it appears to be eye-catching. Another factor that I will be including as content based on teen vogue magazine is the fact that they use the latest articles on gossip that they can find on the actual magazine. However the magazine also

    Rhetoricla Analysis for "On Covers of Many Magazines, a Full Racial Palette Is Still Rare"

    The main purpose in Carr writing this essay is to expose the small amount of diversity involved with the magazine industry, which has always been somewhat low however he believes that as time goes on it is going to grow, and diversity in magazines will be a normal thing to see. The author takes a few different aspects of the industry and analyzes them, for example, how race among teens is not as much of an issue; therefore diversity is greater amongst magazines that appeal to the teen audience. Carr is writing this essay to a wide range when it comes to an audience there are two different aspects that make this true. The first reason is that, race does not pertain to a single age range, and reason number two is that because he does talk about teenage magazines. A younger teen might not be very interested in this subject, but an older teenager could be, so the audience could be considered roughly seventeen and up.…

    Analysis Of J-14 Magazine

    Nowadays there are tons of magazines that talk about gossips and encroach on the supposedly exciting lives of famous people, and J-14 is one of those.

    Cosmopolitan Magazine

    Cosmopolitan magazine was introduced in 1886 and what started off as a magazine for women about well-being and taking care of their families. With headlines on the cover back then such as “Physical Training at the Universities” and “The Progress of Science” while displaying images of women on the cover wearing broad hats and conservative ruffled shirts. The magazine took a turn in 1970 when Helen Gurley Brown became editor-in-chief and brought the failing magazine back to life by focusing on sexuality while portraying women in a sexual manner on the covers. Models were displayed on the covers showing an abundance of cleavage showing a lot of skin. The magazines popularity soared. Women had become more independent and liberated.
