This means that a certain magazine has to dominate the market, which could put a new magazine firm into liquidation. Social Lifestyle trends may negatively affect whether people buy magazines, as society nowadays is ‘time poor’ which means they don’t have time to go out and buy magazines to read, as they don’t have as much spare time.

The majority of these article are about lifestyle, architecture and luxury. It’s one of the successful magazine running in the industry. While looking at the magazine the cover of the magazine grabbed my attention. It had Jennifer Aniston sitting naked wearing a tie which covered some of her body parts. While on the other side of the magazine it shows George Clooney wearing a luxury suit and he’s all covered up. As we can see, the media is giving the society a negative portrayal of woman, where they are shown as an enjoyment for others (usually men). As seen, in this picture the model is the centre of attraction to get males attention or approval. While on the other side. the male model is shown standing with confidence and luxury.

Right of the bat, the 1950s saw magazine and publishing companies facing an exponential growth in popularity. Due in part to the public’s fear of both the “Cold War” and the “Korean War”, family oriented magazines like The Saturday Evening Post and Look continued to post articles highlighting current events, fictional stories, family life and illustration. As they grew to the top of the consumer market, women became the primary demographic for these magazines. The most prolific magazines in the women's market where Ladies Home Journal, Woman’s Day, Woman’s Home Companion, Good Housekeeping, Redbook, McCall’s and Cosmopolitan. (www.illustrationhistory.org)
I’m going to give you guys the top 10 tips for diving into commercial magazine photography. Every amateur photographer who’s ever flipped through a magazine has shared the same fleeting thought: I could do this. I am this good. The difference between a working professional and a dedicated amateur is fairly minimal these days, and it has a lot more to do with business decision-making than talent or equipment. The full-time professional starves his way to the top. Typically a full-time pro goes to photography school, where he learns darkroom techniques, film chemistry, light physics, and the hard, cold reality of living paycheck to paycheck for decades. Breaking into commercial magazine photography is becoming easier every day. Many amateurs
The purpose of this memo is to compare and contrast two individual magazine websites: Seventeen and National Geographic. From their titles alone it can be understood that they cater toward extremely divergent audiences. Seventeen which forms a convenient source of celebrity gossip, fashion advice, and more, reflects the adolescent values, needs, and attitudes.

It is designed for a more mature, intellectual, adult audience

Playboy has been a very controversial magazine over the past 50 years but has somehow managed to become an important brand along with the man who created it, Hugh Hefner. Both have come to obtain amazing status worldwide and have become symbols or icons in the United States, Hef as a sexual icon, a ladies man who built the magazine’s enterprise on his own and the magazine has strived and produced interesting, unique and controversial topics for men around the country. It’s interesting to see how today, when magazines have been on the losing end of news and entertainment it’s still striving and has become ever so important in the American life, no longer a simple magazine, playboy has become something much more and for that reason I have decide to investigate how is it that a magazine as controversial as Playboy has become a national icon in the US?
My production would be very successful and popular with the market in the final production. I think this because I feel that my magazine has a distinctive appearance and fills a gap in the market, by using cross-genre. I did this buy doing research of genres, and finding that two of the most popular with my audience are both gossip and fashion/style magazines. So I have decided to create a magazine which is using a lot of aspects from both these genres of magazines, to create something that will bring in the readers of both these types of genres, making the magazine audience a lot wider, as they can get the same amount of information from just the one magazine rather than going out
