After Several Sessions of Intense Brainstorming..

Due to my love for lists, I have compiled several of them regarding my ideas for the table of contents, double page spread, and font page. I racked my brain for a couple of days and came up with some ideas that will allow me to start playing around and creating. These ideas are in no way set in stone and are most likely going to be tweaked.

Front Page-

I am making the front page image relate to cocktails and fitness because I felt like that option would be more of a visually appealing one for my target audience, rather than doing a visual about ways to earn credit card points. When readers see a girl around their age, enjoying cocktail at the beach, they will want to read the magazine in order to see what they can do to also be on vacation sipping a drink, which will make the magazine's demand rise. Not only was this option more appeasing to the eye, but it was also a way to market the magazine to our audiences 
  • Girl at the beach holding a dumbbell in one hand and a drink in the other (something fun like drinking from a coconut)
