CCR Draft #1

-
On my cover i used bold capital words because that's what i noticed in the different magazines i researched. I decided to not have words on my cover just so i could focus my readers focus on the photo since this is a photography magazine. I had a darker picture so that my title would pop more and it would draw in readers. In the picture i had the person pose around studio lighting since he had the main article and in the main article he talked about studio lighting. I chose a wide shot so that i could show as much as i could because it's important to not only show the person but also the equipment.Then in the table of contents i used different pictures so it would have variety. For the font i used a different font as i did on the cover page. My layout for my table of contents is conventional for the magazines i researched they all had similar layouts. Then for the first page of my article i used a big photo at the bottom, i took the photo with just regular lighting. For my article i put it in paragraph form and in a different font as the table of contents. I made the title of my article bigger and in a grey tone which i think looked good. For the second page i showed the effect of studio lighting just to show my readers the difference. Instead of putting the second page in paragraph form i put it in column form to make it look more conventional. I saw this design on mostly all of the magazines i researched. At the bottom of my second page i put my social media handles so that the readers could follow me and get updates and behind of the scenes of my magazine.

Target Audience-National Geographic

-
The target audience for my magazine are professional photographers and/or people aspiring to be a photographer. The gender could be male or female because photography is a gender neutral profession. The magazine would mainly focus on photographers in college and out of college looking for their passion. For my magazine i would advertise digitally like on Instagram and different social media sights. National Geographic: They advertise by having social media accounts, such as Twitter and Instagram. Also when you go on their website they advertise their newest issue. Another way they advertise is when you get your issue there are papers inside about how to order the next issue. Probably when you sign up they will send emails that advertise new issues and things like that.

Distribution

National Geography magazine has an app for people who want to read the magazine digitally. Once the person is on their app they can sign into their account then they can read different issues. If subscribers don't have a phone or tablet then they can just access the issues on their website, once they sign into their account. I would like to have a app like national geography does because most people today have phones and tablets and having a app would be easier for people to access my magazine.

Distribution

There are many different steps to distributing a magazine. After you plan and prepare your magazine a manuscript of your magazine is sent to an editor. After the editor reads it with the writer input the magazine manuscript will either be accepted for turned away. If the manuscript is accepted then it will enter the copy editing phase.
