...And I have returned once more to update everyone on Relatable Magazine's process!
So, the quote above discusses gardening. While I myself love gardening, as do many women in my family as the admiration seems to have been passed down, I unfortunately will not be discussing gardening. But it's okay, don't cry; truthfully I will discussing something better.
My reasoning behind providing the quote above was because it spoke of seasons and months, aspects of a year. Recently, my group and I decided Relatable Magazine will have twelve issues a year, one for each month. With this decision begs the question: what is so special about having monthly issues?
For starters, Relatable Magazine is not similar to magazines such as People or US Weekly. The magazines greatly differ in content to Relatable; they can be considered as 'news' magazines, and thus explains why they produce so many issues over the course of a year. Because Relatable is fashion and lifestyle and not news, an issue does not need to be provided weekly. Weekly issues may seem like an overload to our intended target and could cause them to abandon Relatable for a competitor. This is something my group and I desperately want to avoid.
Monthly magazines keep trends fresh. I know that whenever I read a fashion and lifestyle magazine, I feel inspired to alter my style to be more 'trendy.' If Relatable was published weekly, it would lose this sense of 'freshness' that I desire for it to obtain. (For reference, I referred to the Teen Vogue monthly issues. A link to view some of Teen Vogue's covers is located at the bottom of this post!
So, with all of that being said, my group and I decided to come up with twelve different topics (one for each month of course) and we would each choose one; three issues of Relatable will be produced for my Foundation Portfolio. They are provided in the picture below.
