Magazines

Choose a magazine that you or someone in your household, or among your friends, reads in a physical copy. What is the specific audience for this magazine? How can you tell? From the title, the advertising, the graphics, the topics of the articles?

A magazine my mom uses is Make-Ahead Recipes hosted by Better Homes and Gardens Special Interest Publications. This magazine focuses mainly on married middle age women that have skills in the cooking category. Each page contains different at home recipes and a shopping list of what is needed. Like the title and side notes suggest it has everything its customers would need for a future dinner that needed to be made in advance or something like party or celebration. The advertising is aimed toward at home cooking and flower gardening which is common among married middle age women. The layout of the magazine itself is very neat and easy to follow making even the most complex recipes that much simpler and the pictures themselves just remind me of my mom cooking or when I eat the home cooking of one of my friends mom's.

Disney shows its dominance on the field with movies each year bringing new movies...
