What to do... What to do...

The moment has arrived and it is time to start planning my magazine!
When thinking about what genre to choose for the magazine, I did not know what to do. I have a passion for food and I love discovering new places. Which is why I had to do research on both subjects to help me decide what I am officially going to do.

When researching about the cooking/food genre (which is something you should not do on an empty stomach) I looked into well-known magazines of this genre such as bon appetit and Food Network. I found that these kind of magazines normally consist of recipes, current food trends, interviews with experienced chefs and much more. In addition, when creating a food magazine the chef has to create an aesthetically pleasing dish, make it look presentable, and have the picture taken in the perfect setting to have the dish look appealing to the audience.

In my research about traveling magazines I based it off famous magazines such as Travel & Leisure and Conde Nast Traveler. These magazine genres promote tourism by featuring seasonal recommendations of places to visit, interviews with travelers, tips on traveling and more. Moreover, most of the pictures on the magazines all are executed on location rather than having a studio.


Based on my research I finally came to the conclusion and decided that I will do a travel magazine. I believe that a cooking/food magazine will be a harder genre for me to execute since I do not have so much experience in cooking and I am not as interested in taking pictures of food. On the other hand, I am more experienced taking pictures of landscapes and this is something that interests me more. I really look forward into doing this traveling magazine and I hope you will enjoy it!
