As the leading publishing house in Europe, Nancy informed me that JPH was interested in closing a multi-million dollar deal with our fashion magazine, Zoelle, provided we changed the magazine's appearance to attract a broader European audience. As production manager, my job was to lead and supervise a staff of 30 to match Nancy's vision, working closely with the design team, photographers, production staff and marketing team. After three weeks of heavy brainstorming, we developed a fresh appearance for the magazine. I invited Nancy to a meeting with me and three of our executive producers. I shared with her the strategy we had created in order to solve our appearance problem, as well as estimated costs and complications. Nancy agreed that the direction our magazine was going fit well with her vision and audience, and that JPH would be happy to work with us within the next week. Although the team was excited to accept the offer, I was concerned that we were not prepared to complete the project so quickly. Though the executive producers did not understand, as our production team was to begin work on the next issue the following day, I explained that there may include deep financial consequences if we rush into the process. I wanted to ensure that JPH received a consistent layout from Zoelle magazine. Nancy agreed to wait until the upcoming issue was complete before beginning work...

...Comparing Two Magazines For my compare and contrast essay, I have decided to compare two magazines in the financial business. The name of the first magazine is” The economist” and the second magazine is “Forbes” The theme of the first magazine is to highlight, how and what type of businesses to start and make money without putting in much of the hard work. The very first page of the magazine shows an absolute image of the man and women dressed up with lots of money and a road of success. The magazine rapidity claims” Sure ways to make money”. It seems like editor is personally involved in guaranteeing the success of the business with highlighting text displaying “Make $40 Million with eco-friendly herbs and sprouts” or “Make 15 million in the first year with Dollar Varity stores” As I am turning and reading pages more and more, I realize that this magazine is not meant to show issues, techniques, pros and cons of starting up a business but it is more like infomercials showing the top returns one can reap from his investments. The magazine forces me to realize that I am missing an essential experience in my life by not starting up the business. The magazine displays beautiful color and picture schemes. The magazine also highlights few of the success stories of the entrepreneurs. Overall this magazine makes business as a seamless transition of normal day today activity to a profit generating machine, but to some extent it also highlights few realistic...

A look at the history of magazines reveals that they were mainly published to provide people with some fun-to-read stuff, which is presented in light as well as lively manner, providing the reader with some relief from the routine and also providing them with details of the news and events that they are interested in. The developments in the field of writing and publications gave way to the concept of specialized magazines, which are meant for particular types of audience and contain material especially prepared for them.

...TO: Michael Neystat, Office Manager FROM: Sofya Beckerman, Secretary DATE: September 8, 2011 SUBJECT: Obtaining a better magazine for our office Michael, At out last meeting together you have asked me to look for a magazine that would be beneficial to our neurology practice. In my recent search through all the current publications I came across three very similar magazines. I would like to present to you the three publications and explain in detail the benefits of each one. * “Neurology Now” is a bi-weekly publication. It delivers credible, most up-to-date articles for the neurology professionals. It touches on many subjects like Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease. It also offers a lot of new technology instruments like articles on eReader, Ealerts with Personalized Alert Management and CME XtraCredit. EReader would allow the physicians to read the latest articles on their electronic reading devices without having their laptop around. EAlerts would allow the physicians to know what is being published ahead of time. CME XtraCredit is earned when the physicians answer online clinical questions. * “Neurology” is a monthly journal. It is said to be the premier peer-reviewed journal for clinical neurologists. It is the leading worldwide neurology journal directed to physicians concerned with diseases and conditions of the nervous system. The articles are up-to-date on all major issues in the neurology...

...Look at a Vogue magazine; welcome to the imaginary world of the "ideal." Nobody has a bad day, as they are too busy being perfectly happy, perfectly rich and perfectly successful. Everything is make-believe; so much for aspiration! However, walk down the street or look in the mirror and it becomes a case of welcome to the "real" world, us. Where everyone is in all shapes and sizes, colors and ages. Like in the book The Mouse that Roared, the authors shows how Disney attempts to hide behind a cloak of innocence and entertainment, while simultaneously exercising its influence as a major force on both global economics and cultural learning. In the fashion industry I feel that it is the same way, while forty percent of the United States is obese, Vogues magazines and many others show those unreal skinny bodies that everybody is dying to have. The fashion industry has shaped women’s ideals of what to wear and what to look, and until the industry can shift from encouraging people to be a shape which nature never intended them to be, however, the media will continue to form young people’s view of the world, a world that is apparently populated by only thin girls. The words "eat" and "boring" are usually never found in the same sentence, but leave it to a supermodel to accomplish this task. Bodies in a bathing suit, underwear, or a skimpy tank top flood magazines magazines today. How many times have you flipped through the pages of a Vogue magazine and spotted an article...

...Evaluation The brief I chose to work with for my coursework was Brief 2, which stated that I was to create a new lifestyle programme for the company Synopticity Productions. I chose to produce a two-minute segment from a television magazine programme that focuses on a lifestyle issue which in this case is fashion and beauty, and a front-page cover with additional two pages for a specialist magazine, to encourage the hype for the upcoming programme. For my broadcasting piece, I planned to create a review of a lifestyle related event, which will be a fashion show for the summer season. Therefore, I created a review called ‘Poise Summer Fashion Show 2014 Review.’ The basic idea for this moving image piece is to resemble similar codes and conventions to that of a reality television programme or event such as Project Runway and the Victoria Secret Fashion Show, in which the actors in this piece are continuously filmed, as it is designed to be entertaining rather than informative. The primary target audience for the fashion show review is initially targeted on a strong niche group of females between the ages of 16-35 years, who will most likely have a strong interest in high-fashion. However, as this moving image piece includes both genders, male audiences may also have an interest in it. Therefore, in order to appeal to our secondary audience, we try and balance this by incorporating the use of interviews...

...Psychology of Advertising Term Project Mike Czarnik (RU: 900276595) April 20th 2014 Professor Sarah Jones Advertisement #1: Heineken Beer This advertisement is made for the beer Heineken. It was published in a 1974 edition of Playboy magazine and took a full page out in order to grab reader’s attention. According to Playboy Magazines media kit, almost 80% of the readers are male and the reader’s median age is roughly 39 years old. Because of this demographic, an assumption can be made that Heineken was trying to target this group of people. Playboy’s media kit also offers further information on their readers. It states that their average male house hold income is about $71,000 and that nearly 65% of all readers are single. Although these facts are for the 2014 media kit, it can be assumed that for a men’s entertainment magazine the demographics have not changed substantially. Heineken was most likely trying to appeal to this male demographic when they placed their ad. The ad itself was showcased on a full page of the magazine. It displayed an unopened bottle of Imported Heineken Lager beer resting at the edge of a beach. Water from the ocean is coming up around the bottom of the bottle and nothing but ocean can be seen in the background. This is the main focal point of the ad. The secondary focal point and another focus for the reader are above the bottle. The words read, “Oceans apart from the ordinary.” The words are the boldest on the page and in the largest font...

...Ron Birch, product manager for the new pasteurized king crab of Phillips Foods, needs to make a decision for the phase II of launch of king crab. He planned to continue the magazine strategy used in phase I, but Cherry Stockworth, vice-president of marketing of Phillips Foods, recommended him to use the budget to support half of cost of International Boston Seafood Show. According to the information given in this case, I don’t think this is an either-or choice, and my recommendation for Ron Birch is to decrease the cost of ads in trade magazines, change the content of ads in magazines before and after the IBSS, and support the IBSS in March SWOT Analysis of King Crab of Phillips related to Trade Show Before analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of two strategies, I would like to conduct a SWOT analysis of king crab, because making a suitable strategy for king crab required us to understand the current situation first. Strength: Phillips is a well-known company which has 14 plants around the world. The economies of scale could help Phillips decrease production cost, and the save from production could be used in marketing campaign. The new product, king crab, of Phillips has enough appeal to customers because of publicity of media such as the Discovery Channel, which would subsequently attract business customers. Phillips’s king crab have an 18-month long shelf time with pasteurization, which could also benefit the buyers because of less pressure to sell it in a short time...
