MY MAGAZINE
In this project I was asked to create a magazine with a specific theme and a feature. I chose mountain biking as my theme however the magazine was mountain bike product reviews. So the features in my magazine were reviews to mountain bike products.
Context/Planning and production:
I initially struggled to pick a theme as the themes I wanted to do were quite hard to do as I'd need people to give up their time for me. However after a few days of wondering I finally came to the the conclution that i wanted to do reviews on mountainbiking products. This is because I already know a lot about mountain biking and it's my favorite sport. As i have the products I need it was easier for me to do.
Research:
As I already do mountain biking and already read mountain bike magazines I know what my target audience need and want. I also know a lot of people who are my target audience and I know what they want and need.
Here's my initial magzine theme ideas.
Here's my final idea and why I chose it.
