My name is Sofia (or Grey) Rodda and I will be completing this magazine myself. The genre I chose is inspired by mainly contemporary, luxury and lifestyle magazines, and as I had previously stated on a post, I chose this 1. out of personal interest 2. The conventions of this particular magazine stand out to me and I felt the issues I wanted to speak out about efficiently fulfilled the requirement of social significance and it's something I'm passionate about as well, so I kind of viewed it as a two birds one stone type of thing. '
My intended/potential audience are people with interests in fashion and culturally/societally aware of modern issues. The majority of fashion magazine audiences are female, so that will likely be my primary audience. However, I'll try to best tailor to an androgynous audience, because I don't mind who reads my magazine as long as they are engaged lol.
I'm assuming my audience will also be more of a youthful audience (teenagers-40s but predominantly teens - 30s)
The social issues I intend to target are the societal implications given to pieces of clothing and perceptions that are prepossessed by individuals who have never had any previous interactions to construct or warrant that particular perception.
I will continue looking over similar magazines for reference points and I'll ask for external insight or constructive criticism on my ideas for my magazine.
My plan is (obviously) to create a hybrid contemporary/luxury magazine, attempt to visualize my ideal magazine layout, ask my friend what outfit she thinks best conveys the message and preparing it, keep an eye out for an intriguing pull quote, attempt to buy hard copies of this particular genre for inspiration, and establishing the tone and color palette for this magazine.
