Magazine Genre Research

The fifth magazine I researched was Rachael Ray everyday. Its a Thanksgiving issue titled "It's all gravy & turkey & sides & leftovers!".  This magazine is all about Thanksgiving so its closer to the theme of my magazine. In the magazine they have different recipes for different types of Thanksgiving food. The cover is three slices of turkey with gravy on top, mash potatoes, stuffing and, cranberries sprinkled on top all set on a white plate with a fork next to it. The advertisement in this magazine is on both sides and consists of clothes, houses beauty products and, different ingredients for food. Rachael Ray is a very famous women, she has a television show on cooking as long with her magazines, she's won many awards for her amazing recipes.

The fourth magazine I researched was Living with Martha Stewart. On the cover there was a turkey leg and slices of ham organized neatly surrounded by pomegranates, sliced grapefruit, and leaves on a plate. Beside the pate there is a list of topics the magazine consists of. For example, Like Tastier Turkey, Brighter Side, Prettier Sides, 47 Ideas to get your home holiday ready, and Stuffing Perfecting. All the articles in this magazine help with my magazine because they have the same themes. The advertisement in this magazine are mainly in the odd pages and they advertise cooking utensils as well as ingredients and different types of food. Martha Stewart is extremely popular with a 21 Million responsive subscribers.

Their advertisement is on both sides of the pages and it also varies on what's on them. They have cooking ingredients, credit cards, beauty products, medications and feminine products.

Project Selection - My Decision

Ive decided that the magazine project would best fit for me. This way I don't have to rely on a whole group of people or write a script for a film. I will be working with 1 other person which is Delhi, I know that we will work good together because we have the same ideas and characteristics. Delhi and I are both very organized and like things a certain way. For the topic of the magazine we are doing Thanksgiving food recipes and Christmas desert recipes. The reason we want to do this is because we both really enjoy cooking and its our 2 favorite holidays.

Project Selection - Film

I wouldn't like to do the film project because I don't like group work. When doing projects I don't like to rely on others and because of that I end up doing the whole project. I'm a perfectionist I like things very organized and neat. While watching the News room you can see that it takes a lot of people to make sure Will is on the air at the correct time and saying the correct information. I think that if I were to do the film I would be good at organizing it and making sure everyones doing what they're supposed to but, it would be very stress full. I can be bossy when needed but its not my favorite thing to be the boss of people.
