New Ideas

        All day, I've been thinking about new concepts and ideas for my magazine. My partner, Juan and I had a discussion and we decide that we would do, drumroll please..... a TEEN CULTURE magazine! We both wanted to keep the title the same, so, Culture will still be the name of our publication but by making it a magazine geared towards teenagers/young adults, instead of minorities, we ensure that there is a specific target audience for every single issue that is published. Our goal is to make the magazine as unisex as possible. We decided to create a publication that was different from most teen magazines, because most of them are directed towards females. In this day and age, most young people don't allow the social construct of gender dictate what they enjoy, so our magazine isn't going to do that either. Our publication will entail what teens, today, are wearing, what music they are listening to, social media, trends, advice columns, and of course, original photographs of cool, trendy teens (aka, my friends). By creating a teen magazine, my partner and I are both able to relate to the topics being discussed in the magazine, and we are both passionate about it. Who better to create a magazine for teens, other than, a couple of teens. My partner and I both decided to have the monthly must-haves section of our magazine, that way, we are able to not only suggest a wide variety of current, popular products, but we could possibly advertise them as well. I think my favorite part of this project will be the photography. Taking photos of my friends, putting together cool outfits, it all seems so exciting. I truly can't wait. Also, it'll be cool to incorporate my favorites into my magazine, especially my favorite styles and music. I may have hit a bump in the road, but now I'm crusin'! (Cheesy, I know, but I had to :) ).
