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

    By stating the various ways in which teens pursue their fashion and how the industries target certain groups and ultimately how they want to fit in. While returning to the introduction’s hook in the conclusion is a frequently-used strategy, the authors throughout the article start slow by giving us an image in which to picture and feel, then they give info and quotes on how the industry targets certain groups and or body types. they then flow into how teens feel about fashion and even their own fashion by doing this she implies that young teens should not care about fashion but of their own happiness. Returning to their quotes and facts, the authors make their appeal to ethos, pathos, and logos which help establish their article firmly. The magazine articles the author tells us about help show how they target and ultimately persuade which we all have seen, and the quotes from professionals help shine light on the authors purpose of the article which is that happiness is key to a young females life and that the cultural standards are not what matter but…

    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.…

    • 6 Pages

    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. The 1980’s portrayed even more sexuality on the cover, the 1990’s took it even further. (1)Today, even with its many critics, Cosmopolitan Magazine is one of the most popular magazines in the United States and throughout the world. Aimed mainly at woman age twenty and up, this magazine dictates the popular trends and ideals among its readers.…

    Analysis Of J-14 Magazine

    • 1515 Words
    • 7 Pages

    One article that seems to be out of context on the magazine is located on page 46; this article talks about a shooting in Las Vegas. The issue here is to decide whether it is morally correct or not to put this article in a magazine like this one; probably the editors put it there to call the readers’ attention. If this is the case, it would give a highly deceitful image of the magazine. Also, on this article they wrote “What to do if you’re in a shooting” (J-14 p47), here, they are giving advices as they were professionals on the topic. Sure, they are trying to generate conscience and to help in some way, but there are no reliable sources that can confirm the rightness of the statements. Another topic that the magazine tries to take advantage of is entertainment. J-14 exploits movies and TV shows by making reviews that have no support or examples of their criteria. This magazine does not focus on one topic and that is valuable, but if they deepen in other topics they should form supported assertions and have a base. Here, all the suggestions could be randomly made every week. On the other side, there is one article against sexual assault on page 44; although the article is not done in a professional fashion, it has favorable arguments and tips. It is positive that they create some conscience on teenagers, but they should have a professional guest that could write with feasible facts and with the complete sureness that those are the best advices. Teenagers’ and kids’ security is a priority and should not be taken…
