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. 

Meetings

Layout

Front: Slogan:

Colors: Grey orange blue and brown cream colors

Side bar of common graduation for law students:

Cover: Internships, right attire for first trial, rookie story ( professional and modernized) /, stay conscience its for high schoolers, fashional attire, Hottest law internships for summer, Right attire, Mock trials tips to get you read, advice from supreme court judge, etc

Use gray blue and brown

Front picture: Young lawyer, flustered, possibly not.

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

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.

Now that I  have more or less  the ideas of what I want, I decided to search out different magazine layouts to determine what look I am trying to go  for. One of the main concerns I had was finding a layout that would appeal to my target audience which is teenagers. With the help of my peers I finally decided to create a magazine for teenagers by a teenager.  One of my main problems was finding colors that would appeal to both makes and females. And in addition to that I had to find colors that would be young and vibrant but at the same time would be professional and  classy. Another tides with my layout was trying to find a layout that would  hold a story but at the same time not overwhelm the reader. This is why during this post all I did was focus on the visual appeals of how the magazine would come out as a final product. Looking at all these different lays allowed to determine what exactly would be the best fit for my special case. My plan is to combine different layouts from the website above. I want to incorporate different  bright vibrant colors, different layouts with multiple images, and even large sized quotes in order to  keep the audiences attention. This post is only meant to illustrate my research and the different visual appeals  that I can use. The more sources I have the greater a diversity and inspiration I'll be able to take from.

03.05.15 The First Step

The First Step

  When I found out the objective of the assignment, my mind instantly drifted to law which is the profession I wish to pursue.

Scattered Mind:

Research For the media project. : Magazine needs to be able to argue the different articles

Teenagers and their involvement in trying to take different steps into the real world: Pre law student, first edition, second edition pre med student, third edition, engineer student, fourth edition engineer student and then take it from there…. this would appeal to students overall all because now more and more students are geared towards what they specifically want to do in life and this could really open the doors for them ( Attend cases, mock trial etc).
Law magazine- 1 - Public defenders, prosecution, paralegals, private investigators, etc…

Main ideas of each one and create a sentence and create a personal quote and statements.

Column form one person to interview, “perspective for a highschooler what they can do”.

SLOGAN: Magazine written from highschoolers all perspectives, For highschoolers from highschoolers (talking to someone, teenagers helping teenagers) “Finding our path”

VOCATIONAL MAGAZINE

LAUREL IDEAS: Kids introduced to law and media, leads up to keep the interest, there are already being introduced and even through the public school systems.

ASHLEY AND JAIME
MAGAZINE LAYOUT: Less content, we no like words, no too wordy with columns. Breaks. Bigger quotes. Big colors. Image appealing = legally blond, sorta inspiration, nothing super serious no serious and professional colors : Blue NAVY, White,

Staged picture, MOCK TRIAL pictures Medium shot; USE TEENAGERS IN ACTUAL SHOT

Although much of this post may not make sense, this is how my mind works. The lack of parameters allows my mind to completely wander, and as the process began I realized that there is so many different options to explore. The beginning of the post just illustrates my two main ideas and from there I got the opinions from three different peers. Ultimately, the decision was up to me but by incorporating their ideas I feel that my idea was strengthened and over all more well rounded. They helped me fix and work on many details as well as narrowing down what I wanted to showcase during this project.
