Question:
 How does your project use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?
Answer:
My magazine uses conventions of my genre because I was able to incorporate quotes and big bold words of my cover page, just as a health, fitness, or wellness magazine might. I used these conventions because i saw them being used in the Women's Health magazine and the Men's Health Magazine. My magazine represent women in their early adulthood and how they cope and deal with their weight "issues". Since obesity is a worldwide issue this magazine helps to show women or people all around the world what things they could do to transition onto a healthier lifestyle.

Distribution Plan

Based on research, my plan for distributing my product would include having the long, capital letters for my title, using white pages, and having a quote in it. These things will go into my magazine because most of the magazines relating to my topic that I've researched had these things in them.

Target Audience Research #3

Our target audience is similar because we both want to provide inspiration and the information people need to eat a healthy, yet delicious meal/snack, while also feeling good about themselves. Eating Well, markets their product on their website, grocery stores, and they are also on social media platforms like: Facebook, Pintrest, Instagram, and Twitter. As i said before, I'll use social media (Instagram).

Distribution Research- Addition #2

Eating Well Magazine:
Eating well magazine is similar to my target audience because it is "a cooking and food magazine dedicated to inspiring readers to eat healthy and its mission is to prove that good health can have good taste" and My magazine is to show that healthy things don't have to be nasty and that you can easily transform your favorite foods into a delicious healthy meal/snack. 

 

They have a website for their supporters to subscribe to so that they always get the latest updates and continue to support and read their magazines. This is also another option for me, to distribute my magazine digitally.

Distribution Research- Addition #1

WOMEN'S HEALTH MAGAZINE:

The women’s health magazine has a similar target audience to me, but on a more broad level and mine is more specific. Their digital distribution includes using amazon. Amazon is one of the largest online retailers in the world; people use amazon to shop for anything like clothing to accessories to electronics, whatever you want they’ll have it. With that being said, for the women’s health magazine to allow fans and supporters to purchase their magazine off of big online website like amazon is a huge deal because almost everyone uses amazon and if they don’t they know someone who does it has at least hear of it before. I could incorporate this method be making my magazine available on popular shopping apps.
