Advertisements 

For another project in Aice Media, we had to create advertisements for an office utensil for Office Depot. These pictures had to be taken and then edited in a manner that appealed to the target audience. In my special case we received a folder by "See Jane Work". This brand is targeted for women from all ages to showcase the integration of the working woman. What we decided to showcase was that just as a woman's necessity is her purse, the folder by "See Jane Work" is also an essential. 

Another item we had to advertise was a sharpie. For this school supply I took a more childish route. I decided to showcase how with a sharpie you could express yourself, which is showcased through the different facial expressions of the fingers. The center of the picture really is the sharpie. 

Now I will just add a few more of the advertisements I created and then from there just determine which ones would be most appropriate for the adds on the magazine. 

Layout and Font

Pretty Meets the Eye?

Due to the fact that the majority of my two page spread is based on interviews and actual conversations with people, I have decided to spend much of my time researching what it is that attracts teenagers to pic up a magazine and actually read it. Due to the technology evolution it is rare for teenagers to read much less tangible books/magazines. Forms of print have know become digitized changing the way teenagers consume print. For this reason I have decided to debate my magazine cover.  

This is one of the pictures I felt would be an option for my magazine cover. Because of the position she is found, the lighting, the bright color and the fact she is a teenager I felt this would entice its target audience more than other pictures. 

This is the other picture I was thinking of using for my cover page. Although I think the sense of union and teamwork, this picture would not suite the cover as not only is the picture blurred but rather it would mostly exclude the male target audience which would be a negative as the magazine is targeted towards gender neutral teenagers.

Magazine Layout

Magazine Layout

The screen shot taken from above is the magazine layout I would like to incorporate into my own magazine. I feel like that although the magazine topic itself is completely different than what I chose to portray, the font and visual appeal would make it best suited for the target audience which is teenagers. I will edit the background and the content of the whole magazine to ensure the work is original. The layout will allow me to add and advertisement behind the cover page and before the table of contents to ensure a more realistic feel. Also, the fact that the two page spread is divided into columns allows for the reader to flow through all necessary information.

This post isn't long but these group ideas help me make sure I am hitting my goals. Peer critics, and peer discussions only ensure growth.

Because the magazine is targeted for teenagers, I figured that an online magazine would be the best way to reach not only a greater audience but a more diverse one as well. An online interactive magazine would be the most appropriate for this age group due to the high influence in technology. I,as a teenager myself spend most of my free time online on social media, or even reading, but in a digital manner.  I try and even avoid buying tangible books simply because it is easier to purchase them online.

Resources

Because this is a vocational magazine what I wanted to do was actually talk to professionals who not only can guide students into their majors but can offer personal opinions as to what they should and should not do. This is a topic that I am extremely passionate about, so I figured why not gear this whole magazine towards an audience that would gain from it the most. I have personal connections with public defenders, prosecutors, and judges as I had an internship at the public defenders office the summer of 2014. With these connections I hope to be able to one on one discuss their own journeys as well as guide those around me. For this reason I have decided to email a few different people who specialize in this field. In addition, I also wanted to talk to college professors to determine what it is they look for and require from a student who wishes to pursue this occupational field. A person who has become like my mentor is Dr. Elena Grau- Leveria.

Although she is not per say directly involved with the legal field she has helped me talk to different professors that teach in majors that are associated with this field whether it be psychology, criminology or even international studies. She is an especially good resource to me as she is a professor in Spanish and can help me develop my native tongue that can help aid me in this journey. We have exchanged email back and forth and she now connected me with different professors.
