Feedback and revisions

-
When presenting my midterm submission to the class i got some great feedback. I realized when transferring my pictures fro the cover it got distorted, also it has the american flag and when creating a Italian issue of my magazine it doesn't make sense to have the wrong country flag on the cover. So I plan on re shooting the cover photo to something more fitting. Also the 2 page article I had submitted was a little short and i could write more and re-structure it. I need a dominate photo on the top of the first page and maybe include more photos of the food at the restaurant because it is a food magazine. The last feedback I received was to make sure my group and I had the same fonts on the cover to make sure it looked like multiple issues of the same magazine.

I need to reschedule my photo shoots and find a new model because the one I used actually moved to the Orlando area. Also i want to find a different location that has more of Italian influence and not American. By doing these changes my magazine will look more professional and put together.  Another thing i could do is revisit the restaurant i reviewed and take more pictures and ask more interview questions.

3rd Quarter Submission

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...
