When I think of the word magazine, two up and coming, Cosmopolitan and Success. They are both trendy, yet sophisticated. I want to attract not only one gender, but both. So how can I do this?

When looking at statistics of a business magazine source (InBusiness) sources show that 88% of readers are college grads.  The key word here is 'graduate'. How do I get around this word, and attract college students, and/or soon to be graduates. So, my idea has been decided. I will create a monthly business magazine with a twist- graduation edition MAY 2016!

READY...SET...GO...

As I write my first blog post, I pondered, what is my reasoning for all of this mania?

So I write this post with confidence, that this blog, along with my AICE Media Studies portfolio will portray my thoughts, ideas, and creativity through a source of medium. So why choose to make a magazine? I question my self saying, what really is a magazine? Magazines are defined as a periodical publication containing articles and illustrations, typically covering a particular subject or area of interest. But when creating a magazine, I feel I am trying to mock million dollar magazine corporations such as TIME, National Geographic, Success, People etc. But how can I make my magazine DIFFERENT. I want mine to stand out, and be known for something different, I want it to be one-of-a-kind. 

So lets start here...

1. Lets target a different kind of audience, an audience that know magazine tries to catch their eyes...

COLLEGE STUDENTS-COLLEGE GRADS!

How can i get their attention?

What draws them in?

Stay tuned for my next blog post... As I dive deeper and deeper into the art of designing a magazine.
