Project Selection-Magazine

I incorporated technology into the process with many programs. I used publisher to start my outline for my magazine pages to see the basic setup of them for a draft. Then i changed to Indesign to make the magazine pages look more professional and completed. I was adding pictures, page numbers, and just making it look overall more cleaner. I also used and made an Instagram for our food magazine to spread it out.

My production skills changed a lot throughout the project. The first month i was very confused so i barely did anything to the project. But as i started looking more at it i found out how to do things productively. I started to turn posts on time and doing the right things in the posts. I learned how to use indesign to make my magazine pages a lot more clean and professional looking. And my research changed over time after the first month of two, i started to take real notes and printing sites out to help me understand how a real food magazine should look like and outlined.

2. Our magazine engages the audience because its colorful but not to much. It also has a delicious dish on the front of each of our magazines, doesn't matter what type of culture of food it is. And our marketing plan will work because we are on social media and most people now are on some type of it. On it we will show a sneak peak of what we have to offer and have information about it, so if they are interested can buy our magazine. I learned from our distribution research that we need to show that we are interested in our customers and we need to be out there to be effective. For instance a TV commercial would be effective because everyone watches TV and there needs to be some people who watch TV that likes food and recipes. It will be effective because a large amount of people will be on where we advertise our magazine.

1. My product uses conventions because it is a food magazine and to make it we took influence from other food magazines like food and wine. For instance the cover has a big picture of the type of food that you will see in it. We also made the articles like it, it is two pages and has a mix of pictures and words, also like a lot of magazines we put ads in some pages, usually every 3 or 4 articles. Our magazine represents social groups like people who like to cook and maybe more towards the women side because they tend to cook more than men. Also maybe people who want to learn more about the Asian ethic food. It shows a lot of interests, it has food, shows how to make it, and some cool information about it.
