Target Audience Research: SLAM Magazine

Image
My target audience's age range goes anywhere 10-50 years old because many people in this age range follow basketball as an interest. The gender of the target audience is mainly male but there are also many females interested in basketball. The audience can come from anywhere around because basketball is a world wide sport. One magazine that I researched was SLAM Magazine. This is a basketball magazine with a similar target audience as my magazine.

Many social media accounts for companies have links in their descriptions which ...

Before this project I had very little experience when it came to working with Publisher. After reading all the feedback my teachers and my peers I began to catch on. Also writing these blogs was very different but eventually I learned how to write them. My cover page took me multiple editing tries but after a few attempts it looks good. I had to take new pictures on a real camera instead of my phone to make it look more professional. Learning about the different techniques and little details and ways to edit develop my production skills significantly. My table of contents also took multiple tries. I learned of ways to change the color of the background, different ways of how to format it and also new picture are used. All of these things make my product look much more professional. Lastly, my two page article stayed r...
