Planning - Photo Shoot Scheduling

The Sarasota Sailor Varsity Soccer Team currently has 3 games during the week of December 17th, 2017. The games are earlier than usual. Typically, the Sailors play around seven at night, after the Junior Varsity Soccer Team plays, however they currently do not have any games, which means the Varsity boys will have to assimilate to the sun's heat which they will not be used to.
UPDATE:
The game on the 18th was cancelled due to a no show by the referees. The game cannot be carried since no officials were present, a scrimmage was thought to be a solution but a unanimous decision between the coaches was made to not scrimmage in order to avoid injuries. However, some photos were able to be taken of the teams were warming up, since they expected the referees to show up right before the start of the game. These can be utilized in the magazine, but more will be take again on December 20th when the team plays against the Sarasota Military Academy. The boys then play Port Charlotte High School the following night.
UPDATE:
The photos were a success, there was at least one photo of each individual player, and it was a 4-0 win for the team so some photos of the goal scorers were taken.

Target Audience Research

ESPN the magazine, has is one of the top competitors with sports magazines. They are at the top of the game alongside Sports Illustrated. Their magazine gains a lot of attention since they also own one of the largest sports broadcasting channels in the United States and in other foreign countries. They feature a variety of sports, some unknown or not as popular sports such as rugby. This widens the spectrum of viewers immensely, since magazines such as Sports Illustrated does not feature sports such as rugby or cricket. The magazine has typical features that would attract your younger audience, such as featuring current top players within different sports. They also have sponsored athletic complexes at places such as the ESPN World of Sports near Disney World in Orlando Florida. This means that who ever passes the sign, now is aware of the brand itself. This is how they gain majority of their exposure for the magazine and is overall a good tactic. 

Feedback/Revisions

Overall, the feedback was good. There were minor issues with the magazine such as some white space, lack of photo variety, and needing to justify the text. For the magazine, the plan is to add photos in the table of contents of different sports such as basketball or other sports in general. Also, the pages as a whole may need to be redone, but maintain the exact same design. This is because in the process of making the magazine, the pages were exported at different resolutions, making some pages have a lower quality look than the others. The cover needs more text or better use of space since there is a large gap in the middle, so that page will be edited. Another important change that may occur is a change in the title. The magazine is targeting specifically one school, which does not open the viewing to many people other than those who attend Sarasota High School. In order to make the magazine target a larger audience, the title may be changed to 'SoFlo Sports' in order ...
