Project Selection- My Decision

I decided to do the magazine project because when I looked at my skills and challenges for each project, I seemed to have more strengths in the magazine than I did in film production. I have more experience in print journalism and writing articles, which are both crucial in the body of a magazine. As well as my experience in photography, which is accommodating in the design and selling portion of magazines. Due to my characteristics of being neat and detail oriented, I believe I will succeed more in print journalism, because of my challenges in directing and decision-making in the film project. I have decided to do the magazine project with 3 other people as a group. We collectively concluded on an active/health lifestyle type genre of magazine, focusing in on the city of Sarasota. Our target audience is teens and young adults who are currently pursuing to have a better, healthier and more fit lifestyle. One member of the group is going to go to a local skate park and interview the teens there, seeing how they stay fit and active with skate boarding. Another member of the group is going to go to a nearby athletic center and talk to young adults on why and how they decided to stay active, and if they have any tips. I have experience in dieting and the food aspect of staying healthy, so I will be interviewing healthy food places and giving tips on daily food lifestyles, showing the benefits of them. Lastly, the final group member will be talking to someone who isn't common to work-out or live an active life, and will ask how they maintain a steady fitness related diet.
