Demographics

My featured article is going to be called 'LIFE' magazine and in order for me to make this product i have to search and see what the demographic should be for my product. I have already seen examples of poverty/pollution magazines and for one of the magazines i found 'Time'. I went to research the demographic for it and i think that 'Time' would be the best to choose from as its, really popular and everyone knows and recognizes it when they see it in a front cover. It originates from the united states which then went global around the world.

I went to see the global audience for 'TIME' and it shows that:
Male are 67.5%
Female are 32.5%
Median age is 43

These results show me that men would read a featured article more than woman, and in this case a poverty or a pollution one. Now i know what the demographics are for this specific magazine, i will put into consideration that my product will aim to both genders but more to men and write it in a more mature adult way as its over the 40s. This will help me as i need to know who would actually read my magazine and would they be interested.

Adobe Programmes

I am going to use adobe programmes like in design to create my actual feature article. I have researched different types of programmes i could use but i found that in design was the best choice. It actually was more convenient as it has all the pages that you need in order to make a article with the front cover. It also has all the settings like different types of fonts that i could use for the text and lets you change sizes of them. It also has different types of colours which i can experiment with to see which will suit best for my article.

i might need to use photoshop to edit my pictures that i am going to take for my article. I need photoshop for things like cropping, change the brightness, remove unnecessary things e.g the background of a picture. I could also use it to make a collage because i might make one for my article so i would need the opacity tool which is only on photoshop.
