A good start

Yesterday, I began researching the conventions of a lifestyle magazine. I noticed a few key elements such as having a mixture of content. With this knowledge we began choosing our layout stories and general themes for our separate issues. We came up with the idea that Annie's issue would be based on healthy living, eating and workouts while my issue would be focused on skin care and health routines. This allows for a mixture of content in both issues and also also the content of both issues to continue an overall theme of bettering our self, while talking about two separate very important things. While separate we also notices that the target audience for this genre is typically older adults where we want to target an audience of young adults, especially woman. Because of this we decided to take that twist on the average lifestyle magazine giving a newer, fresher and more current theme to attract the audiences we are trying to target. We also believe that the content we are providing is most relevant to the people of the young adult age. We subject matter is also very diverse but is also universal, meaning that the majority of woman regardless of personality or personal ideas, are all striving for the similar goal of being healthy and keeping themselves the best they can be. We put a lot of thought into the content of the magazine but we still have so much to do. Tomorrow, hopefully Annie and I will begin thinking of headlines and issues for our magazines.
