This week we got the opportunity to meet with our classmates and receive feedback on our progress within the projects. I was actually very happy that I was able to introduce my ideas and get different perspectives. As I started to present, many of my group members were beginning to get confused on how I would market my magazine. Honestly, I didn't have that fully figured out, but because I’ve seen most fitness and teen magazines sold in grocery stores, I thought that was an appropriate location. This then was followed by another concern with the target audience. Some members believed that the audience age is too young and are usually not influenced to buy this types of magazines. So, I took this into consideration and decided I would expand my target audience to women in their mid-30s. One last suggestion that was brought within the discussion was that I also should expand my genre. Instead of my magazine only focusing on fitness, it could also be about eating, health care, make up, etc. I will stick with my message about how having physical and mental strength is true beauty, however I will now include these other topics. Thus, it now changes into a more lifestyle magazine. In the end, this really helped me to advance in my magazine and allowed me to also view other people’s blogs and ideas within their projects. I’m hoping that our groups could meet again when the projects are closer to the final due date.
I’ll see you soon with a title and images for my magazine!
