Project Selection-Magazine

The use of print journalism interests me in a variety of ways. This is exemplified in how creative you can be in the structure and design of your magazine. For example, during our magazine analysis, we were able to see the different layouts of different magazines. This was shown in how the New York Times had a different marketing technique than a magazine by the Washington Post. The New York Times would have a more eye-catching and colorful cover, whereas the Washington Post would be more simple and modern, with bolder fonts and hardly any pictures. This was also true in the Nixon documentary, where newspapers were utilized to spread the word, and how powerful print journalism was during that era. Therefore, the magazine project would be a proficient fit for me because of my use of creativity and writing skills, along with being able to cohesively structure pictures and articles in a way that is pleasing to read. However, I may struggle with finding an interesting topic to freely write about without becoming stuck and the use of marketing techniques could serve as a challenge.
