Creative Critical Reflection #2 Draft

Our product plans to engage with our audience by keeping them up to date with recent sports news. Sports are one of the most popular, celebrated, long-lasting traditions within the United States. By informing our audience of the latest sports news, this will want them to keep up with each publication. Then by having the information as local, the makes locals want to read about what is happening the southern Florida, since it's their home. Also, including a featured player on the cover engages with the audience. Especially, within schools, this makes teenagers want to engage more with school athletics when they have a star athlete feature on the covers of magazines. Some other parts of the magazine that some people may not notice aids in making the reader engage is the design of the text. The text was intentionally made to stand out with the beveled effect and drop shadow, which draws the readers eyes directly to it. Also, a specific color palate was used so that the entire magazine would fit together and not throw anyone off by having a wide range of colors being thrown at them. This makes the magazine more appealing, resulting in an engaged reader. For our magazine, our main target audience is going to be high school students. In order to get their attention and have them actually purchase the magazine, we will have to go out of the traditional method for distributing magazines. With the help of South Florida Premium Distribution, we can have copies of our magazine publishes, printed, and sent to various selling locations. Ads will make up the majority of the expenses for this magazine, which will allow us to sell editions of 'SoFlo Sports' for a cheaper price. In order to get word out about the magazine, we could attend high school sports events and pep rallies and either sell or give out free copies of the magazine. Word will spread about the magazine once friends of those featured in the magazine see them and then want tell them and other about it. Overall, this is the best method for distribution of the magazine.
