#18-Reflection #2

    The product has limited engagement with audiences, as it is a magazine article rather than an interactive medium, but the tone of the writing in the two articles it has is meant to make scientific information comprehensible while still true, appealing to weather geeks and everyone else that hopefully would have a greater interest in weather by reading this. Regionally, this is limited to English-speaking countries, but could have altered versions per language, and is far more accessible in other nations than I thought it would initially be due to non-U.S.-based content. The forecasts would be difficult to implement without forging that barrier, but it is possible that different regions could have different forecasts if marketing for Weather or Not would be that ambitious. Per the technological usage of today, the magazine would likely be electronically copied for online reading, and might stay that way for saving resources. A new magazine would come out every month or three weeks for enough creation time and difference between editions for significant weather events and constantly updating forecasts.

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. ...
