Project Proposal

 Hello Beautiful People! So I've talked a lot about my plans for my magazine throughout my research posts, but I haven't properly introduced myself or my project. My name is Jana Bassiouny, and for my AICE Media Studies brief, I will be doing a Magazine. I will be working alone for this project. 

I chose to create a sports magazine because sports have always been a huge part of my life, and compared to popular genres like fashion and lifestyle, I feel like sports magazines have always been unpopular or outdated. I noticed in my research that a lot of the popular sports magazines have the same old-fashioned colors and fonts, and I wanted to create a more modern-looking one. 

I'm writing my article on gymnastics because I have two younger sisters who are gymnasts, and I'm probably going to end up taking photos of them because it's easier. Because of this, my target audience is going to be teen/tween girls that do gymnastics or other sports. I want it to be kind of inspiring and address the social issues of women's and youth representation in sports. Like I said in one of my past research posts, I really like the layout and aesthetic of Inside Gymnastics, and I want to make something similar, but more focused around girl's gymnastics/sports, and younger athletes. 

To create my magazine, I will be using Adobe Illustrator since I've already had practice with it for one of my previous magazine projects. I might also use Canva to plan, but I can't use it for the actual magazine. I'm probably going to make a plan/mockup for all my pages so I know how my layout will be.
