Title: Cooking Light 


The cover of the magazine is a dark blue jean material and has two plates of food. There is bold white writing on each side of the magazine describing healthy meals and the pages the recipes can be found. The title is in a large red font to catch your eye.

 There are some articles that are about tips and tricks of how to use a certain food, such as, "3 Ways to use Turnips" (pg.36). A lot of the articles in this magazine are recipes, for example, chicken and mushroom stew (pg.6), creamy sausage rigatoni (pg.14), and roasted butternut squash and poblano pizza (pg. 19).

 There are a lot of ads about food.There was a lunchable ad (pg.11) and an add about a chef cooking healthy food in Maui (pg.1). Also, special K cereal (pg.31). Most of the food ads were ingredients that could be used in recipes. Not every add was about food though. There was a makeup ad on L'Oreal Paris wrinkle cream (pg.7) and medicine ads as well, for example, Linzess (pg.22).

 There is no Table of Contents but there is a Recipe index on the back (pg.100). It is categorized into sections. Some of these sections are desserts, main dishes, appetizers, etc. In this index there is one picture and it is of Steak Fajita Chili and under the picture it stated that the recipe can be found on pg. 76.  This is a staff raved meal which is why they wanted in to stand out on the page.

 The magazine is very colorful with lots of pictures in every article. The recipes are well described and the pictures make the food look delicious. 

 In general, they had a 9,360,000 print reach for the Cooking light magazines and their digital viewing is very large, which also increases their social status.

 In 2016, there was an article in the magazine that was nominated "The Healthy Cook's Guide to Fat," by Sidney Fry, and Robin Bashinsky for Cooking Light.

Project Selection- Film

I find film very fascinating and fun to watch. I've started to notice all the editing and filming techniques in movies. Based off the movies I have seen in class, I think it would be a fun project. All the films were well made, I especially loved the Ferris Bueller film. John Hughes was a very creative and hardworking person and his film was unique because Ferris was talking to the audience, but he made it work. He has inspired me to create a film myself. The skills I possess are my creativity and directing skills. I believe that I would be able to successfully direct the beginning of a film. I'm a hard worker and having good planning skills, so I would my dedication into making this film.  A challenge would be the editing process, but I just need to learn more about editing techniques. Also, a film can be very time consuming. I would have to plan it into my schedule which might be a little difficult. Another challenge is that I would need to find actors and right now I don...

My magazine or any magazine uses conventions to persuade the customer into buying it. Cover: My cover states the most delicious and interesting things, and mentions the amount of recipes that there will be in the magazine. There are Buzzwords on the front cover that will tell the buyer some of the interesting articles that can be found in the magazine. They are free and exclusive and for my target audience and this is used well to attract them.The main image represents the idea of my magazine which is healthy eating.
