My Marketing Plan

For my magazine, which is targeted towards teenage girls, i plan to go on social media and promote the magazine. Belle is a beauty and fashion magazine that includes many new and cool trends as well as self-empowerment.

   First, i will promote my magazine by putting a picture of my model on a billboard and the title of the magazine. This will be seen by all the passing cars and get their attention. This will allow for a broader group of people to see the magazine and buy it.

   The second thing i will do is, make an Instagram account for Belle magazine. I will post little sneak peaks of the magazine to create some mystery so that people have to buy it. I will also include snippets of whats on the actual magazine.

The last thing i will do is have a famous person endorse my magazine at an important event, like a gala. This will get peoples attention because a famous person endorsing my magazine will get people to want it. 

Target Audience- Seventeen Magazine

The target audience for Seventeen magazine is towards 13-19 year old girls that like fashion and beauty. It first started as a magazine to inspire teen girls to become workers but soon changed course to get a bigger audience. At first the magazine would promote seventeen into other magazines they owned until it became its own magazine. Now magazine Seventeen can be found everywhere around the world and online.

Target Audience- Cosmopolitian

The target audience for Cosmopolitan is woman between the ages 18 and 49, a student or professional, single or married. Any woman who is interested in fashion, celebrities, beauty, health and fitness is the perfect candidate for this magazine. Most of the magazine is seen in stores and/or can do a subscription online for the magazine.

Target Audience-teen vogue

Teen Vogue is a magazine that is targeted for teen girls.  It includes articles on fashion and celebrities that teens would be into. At first the magazine would print actual copies and sell them at supermarkets and other accessible places but due to a decline in purchases they then switched to being accessible online. Teen vogue is now very successful with selling in stores and online subscriptions.

Revisions

There was a couple of small revisions that had to be made. For example, i have to move some of the sub article titles to the side to make sure they are not  covering the photo. It was also suggested that i make the font smaller to make it look more official. For the table of contents, i have to rearrange the titles so that they are out of the way and not covering the model.  The final little revision is to put the page number on the another side of the page just like it is in magazines.

Use of Conventions

My product uses conventions of my genre of the overall look and feel of my magazine and article as well as the layout, picture and color selections. The magazine was designed to mimic very popular fashion/women magazine. The pictures are very bright and very modern. Each photo was photographed in different locations to show off the area i live in.
 It represents social groups by primarily focusing on women empowerment and just women in general.

Mid-Term Submission

My cover didn't change much besides adding the photo of Cammy and i had to chnage the font size to make it a little smaller as well as change the writing color to white. I also arranged the title and articles to fit well on each side and to also see Cammy as the center focus.

The table of contents did change in a couple areas. I had to cut some of the sub headings out to make room to write a brief discription of each article. I also chnaged the black color to white words and added a black border for dimesion and to see the actual titles. The picture was also centered purposely to have Cammy's eyes bounce off the page. 

My first article page is titled "Key to Confidence" and it's all about having confidence and being yourself. The background is tinted lilac to show a little color. The title is in 'Lucinda Handwritting' to have a fashion magazine feel and the actual article is a standard font size 20.  Another picture of Cammy is the first thing that is seen and then the article starts. 

The second article page has the same background color and the same font for the entire piece. A picture of Cammy is included once again. With a pose that goes with the entire magazine and it's purpose. I used word art to make 'Labels Dont Matter' stick out because it's the main focus for this page. Finally page numbers were added to the bottom right of each page.
