3. Research
• My strengths were it was good to look up information and pictures on the
internet about vegan ideas and some ideas of what I would include in my
vegan life styles magazine. I looked at makeup, skincare, handbags, vegan
celebrities, vegan foods and vegan magazine. I used all of the research apart
from the handbags because I didn’t have time.
• I could have looked into vegan life styles magazine more. To get inspired, I
could have done a little survey about how people would like a vegan lifestyles
magazine.
• I could have improved by looking at more vegan lifestyles magazines and
talked to more people about how they became vegan and their tips of how
they became vegan and what they like about the vegan lifestyles and foods
they eat and the makeup they wear and where they buy the vegan makeup
products from.
• What effect would this have had?
• It could have made my content more detailed. I could have interviewed vegans
to find out how they became vegans.
4. Planning
• Strengths
• I came up with 3 ideas like baking magazine and travel magazine and a vegan
magazine. I chose to do the vegan magazine because I am into the vegan
lifestyles and vegan makeup, and vegan skincare, and vegan fast foods places
and vegan supermarkets. The plan helps me plan what I wanted to include in
each page. And it helps me plan my layout.
• Weaknesses of planning
• I could have looked at a real magazine in a big supermarket and the different
layout that they used in their magazine. This could have given me more ideas
about what people like in a vegan magazine and then I could have put more
on my front cover.
• Improvements
• I could have made the content longer and I could have added a vegan handbag
page.
• Effects it would have had
• I could have included a section on vegan clothing including shoes and clothes.
This would have made it more interesting.
5. Time Management
• I think I managed my time well and I did some
work out of class. I completed my project on
time.
• I could have done more pages for my
magazine. I could have done a vegan fashion
page and could have done vegan shoes page
and could have done a vegan handbag page.

8. Audience Appeal
My magazine would appeal to young women who like makeup
and it is fashionable to become a vegan and because it is fun,
colorful. It is a lifestyle choice that you have to make. Young
people like to look at celebrities and get inspired by different
makeup looks. The background colour is funky and bright like a
rainbow. And young people would like the different fonts and the
different styles and they are on different angles. The images
would appeal to my audience because they standout on the
page.

effect.

are known for and brief details.

have toned it down a little by using more muted colours, so that it would fit in with
your overall style.

like the combination of colours. The images work well
together. And the bold title page. It is colourful, eye
catching and the colour schemes are consistent. There is
a good selection page to do with the vegan lifestyles.

bright. I could have toned it down by using
more muted colours.
