Magazine Genre Research- Food Network

-
The cover of this magazine is more busy compared to others. The main focal point is the turkey that is sitting on a white plate surrounded by green plants. The Food Network logo is in the top left corner and is purple and red. Next to the logo is pictures of 3 of the popular Food Network Chefs, and it shows who made which recipes in the magazine. In the top right corner, there is a picture of a slice of what looks like either strawberry or rhubarb pie. Along the left side of cover are 3 pictures of signature dishes that are in the magazine. Along the right side of the magazine, the title of articles are displayed. "102 recipes: plan your perfect menu". Also the words "Happy Thanksgiving" are displayed along top of the turkey plate. Overall the cover is bright and uses the pictures to convey the message. The ads throughout the magazine are focused on food related products such as a nespresso maker and Campbell soup ad. The articles are all focused on the theme of Thanksgiving and either decor or recipes. Ten issues come out ever year and they have been around since 2008.

For my revision deals with my two-paged article. My first version didn't have enough text and I needed to fit my pictures. So, When I went back to fix it, I used Adobe InDesign instead of Publisher. I fixed my body text and even added a quote from the owner that was off their website. Also, I made the title bigger and added a dominate photo underneath. On the second page, I fixed my other pictures and text to fit around them. It looks more professional and put together and I made sure to fill in all the extra white space I had without making the text itself look too big. Also added branding and page numbers to the bottom pages. Overall, I'm happy with the changes I made.  On my table of contents, I didn't change much. I added branding and the page number to the bottom corner. As a group we finalized the fonts we would be using, so I changed the font on the "contents" to one I had on my cover. I slightly rearranged the article titles to be move even but over all I...

Audience Engagement Research- Sale & Pepe

-
Image
Sale & Pepe is a popular Italian magazine in Italy. They have a website that can be translated into English and other languages. and it includes recipes and subscriptions to their magazines. Their target audience is similar to mine because it focuses on aspiring cooks and people who just like looking at food. I looked up Italian based magazines and they are one of the first to pop up on google. So they must pay to have that top spot. Also they Offer them in other countries. I would take examples from here and use them in my own magazine on how to market them. Also they use Instagram to promote their magazine. I would also use Instagram and maybe Facebook for my magazine because its free and easy to use. Also because its so popular, many people will be able to view my content. But because its an Italy based magazine, I am not 100% sure if they use other marketing tactics like billboards or commercials. But i would use those to help get more locals to buy my magazine.

CCR Question #2 Draft

"How will your product engage with audiences" "How will it be distributed as a real media text" The magazines i researched focused a lot on certain types of food. Like the issue was based around one item or one culture.  Also majority of the magazines i researched, had other forms of  media for their brands. Bon appetit magazine also has a you tube channel to share content and information. Food network magazine has a whole tv network but also utilizes a website to help market and sell their magazine. With my magazine being  local based, I had the idea of creating a billboard on a main road in Sarasota, where i could spread publicity easier.   Basically for my magazine i would like to create an Instagram and other forms of media to lure/engage people in. Also by using a website and social media, i can gain different age ranges. Younger  generations use social media to get information, so Instagram would be very beneficia...
