teens monthly.

teens monthly is a magazine which covers topics that are trending in the moment topics that click with the younger audience which is who it focuses on. i'd be focusing on trending topics, upcoming musicians, artists, influencers, not to forget rising problems phasing the generation. 

one major thing i want to focus on in the African culture we're exposed to on the daily to be one of the main themes because most of the magazines we are exposed to are western media, western influence and the generation of today dont really understand there is really no difference between us and the western culture. well maybe there is more of an influence in the African culture setting than the other, with the magazine i want to expose and show case the talent, the trends, the influencers we hold.

i got inspiration from these magazines:

the remaining contenders

After much discussion and research I've decided to continue on the path of either the foodie magazine or the teens daily. ( well those are some of the names I've thought about for the mast head )

For my food magazine I've been getting inspiration from the yummy magazine, BBC's good food magazine and the foodie magazine.

 

from these three magazine examples they all have various different styles to them, starting from the simplicity in display on the cover pages of the foodie magazine which seems to be the theme. its main focus is the cover image and there is little to no plug info or puffs unlike the yummy and goof food magazine covers.

so it either to take a minimalistic or a maximalist approach on my magazine.

magazine ideas

 for my magazine i came up with around 4 concepts that I am genuinely passionate about they are:

a business monthly magazine ( which would focus on the trending business ventures at the moment for example the coming up of mini marts)

another would be a magazine on religion and cultures all over the world ( going into different countries different regions and exploring their cultural and religious backgrounds )

a food magazine is another idea. it would display trending foods, healthy lifestyles, interviews from upcoming chefs and restaurant owners as well as restaurant reviews and recommendations.

last but not least would be a youths magazine. in short it would be a magazine focusing on the youth the problems they face some solutions or recommendations to their problems, at the same time to show what is in rn ( what has being canceled, things that should be brought back into fashion or use ) also mentioning role models and what they have accomplished giving motivation to the youth

im still exploring all these different ideas seeing which i connect with more knowing it will be easier in the making and editing process. for me im leaning ore towards the business and youth magazine but who knows anything can change
