Media Studies Blog

     Overall I received a lot of constructive criticism on my magazine. On my title page, many of my classmates suggested that I move the page numbers closer to the article titles, as some are a little too big/far away. Also, at the bottom where it says "This Month in Sports," it was suggested to define which month it is from. On the TOC I did not receive much feedback, but I'm going to define the text more and make it a little smaller to maybe fit more. As far as my article goes, I'm going to add a main photo across the top of my first page, justify my columns, make my text a little smaller, and add page numbers.

How does your product challenge conventions of your genre?           The magazines I researched were mainly Sports Illustrated issues, and I took many ideas and incorporated them into my magazine. I tried to replicate the exact title font, and took ideas such as the page numbers being included on the title. I also added my own twist to the generic Sports Illustrated issues. How does it represent social groups or issues?      The social groups my issue are mainly targeting are High Schoolers and just people in the area that may be interested. I plan to hand the magazine out at school and hopefully go to some local businesses to see if they will have my magazine at their store.
