Three Genres of Magazines (01/19/22)

Genre 1:

Videogames: Nintendo Power 












Nintendo Power would likely yield video game promotion for Nintendo games and possibly carry ads for others as well, but even then, any given issue's tone would probably be kid-friendly. It would make the magazine likely more interesting if it contained insider information of games' development, and/or celebrated old games and their developers.



Genre 2:

Soccer: Late Tackle 











Late Tackle might include information on the salaries, victories, defeats, stresses, resignations, etc. of players in major leagues, but it could have a greater worldwide appeal if it also allocates pages towards non-European nations' leagues as well as the international stage. However, fans of relatively minor leagues likely wouldn't read that magazine for information or amusement on those leagues' teams anyway, so attempting to include every soccer league (unless just focusing on the U.S.) would be necessary and therefore unexpected/unanticipated.


Genre 3:

Literary: The Yale Literary Magazine

The Yale Literary Magazine, if affiliated with more than a sponsorship from the prestigious school, would likely include opinions on literature from well-read teachers and professors, more likely from Yale than not, on current and probably past novels as well. This could also offer help for writing well in a myriad of styles and genres.

Portfolio Plan (01/26/22)

     I planned the portfolio for my magazine by choosing a genre I was rather knowledgeable about and interested in, which likely wouldn't and ultimately didn't yield many notably popular or long-lasting sources. However, I had experience reading weather articles from books and websites, which had a picture-text symbiosis that never ran out of visual depictions of weather. In that regard, the idea has limitless potential and few boundaries, so creativity likely won't be a challenge of this magazine. The research, however, will be intensive and likely needs to be credited, and gaining information from interviews will be as difficult as usual.      The magazine is not meant to alienate non-weather nerds/enthusiasts, which would be easy to do (by presenting information mostly in a factual and interesting rather than purely statistical way), except for the lack of local or even general regional daily and weekly forecasts due to unlikely accuracy in forecasts is...

#14-Spread Plan

Image
     For the story on Typhoon Tip and Hurricane Patricia, the spread lacks a dominant or secondary photos, since I couldn't take a picture of a hurricane or hurricane-related conditions while planning the magazine. The headline is meant to be part of the article, possibly indicated by the addition of a comma to help the audience comprehend this while still keeping it at a larger font on a distinct colored background for it. The byline of articles in the magazine would indicate the sources as well as the writer, as these are informational articles, and would be placed at the end of each article. Rather than one 'feature story' (due to my varied interests and the wide variety of meteorological events that can occur in Spring in the U.S., there are planned to be two; this one, and one on Space Weather. Secondary content might include definitions and long-term forecasts. The Space Weather article will have a sub-section of information, as will the Tip v. Patricia article. ...
