The Real World: The Deadline Magazine Project

Decent Essays
The Deadline Magazine Project taught me many things about the “real world,” such as how people evaluate magazines and the many parts that magazine editors have to go through to complete their magazine. I didn’t realize how many parts there were to a magazine and I thought that it was fun to be able to make my own design for my titles, cover, and ads. When we had to judge the magazines and vote for who’s was best, I tried not to just vote for my friends and I judged a lot of them by the covers. Some covers weren’t well organized or looked like they had been done at the last minute. I noticed many people just voting for their friends or by how the cover looked and if I were to write another magazine, I would probably keep that in mind. A few

    They chose to use paid subscription magazines since these are sent to people who want to read the magazine deliberately, and are most likely to read the whole magazine and view all of the advertisements in it. The magazines also were at least monthly, since weekly or more frequently published magazines tend to be more news oriented, so people may tend to not view the advertisements as much as something that they are reading for leisure. The magazines that they ended up studying were published in November 2009 and consisted of Elle, Allure, Glamour, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, InStyle, Family Circle, Good Housekeeping, Better Home and Gardens, Ladies Home Journal, Redbook, Southern Living, and Woman’s Day (Conley & Ramsey…

    Originally, I thought that The Story of the Hour, by Kate Chopin, was going to be about a woman losing her will to live when she found out that her husband had been killed in a horrific train accident, instead I soon came to find out that she was feeling truly trapped and unloved in her marriage. When Mrs. Mallard started whispering “free, free, free” it became very apparent that she was not looking at the inheritance that she would be receiving, instead she finally gained the right to unhide the hidden part of her personality. In a time when women really had no voice in society, this woman finally felt free when she thought she had become a widow. It appeared that she was suffering alone and in silence by her sister’s reaction to her breakdown. I really enjoyed that the author set the scene, was very descriptive with how the weather was that day, and made you feel as though you were watching the scene instead of reading it.…

    Given that my MWA 2 was on the topic of child beauty pageants and their corruptive traits, I have decided to transform my commentary to that of an article that would be published in a parenting magazine. I did so because I wanted my audience to be primarily mothers and fathers, and anyone with a child that would read material that gave parental advice. Which also ties in with my purpose. Because my commentary had a argument that claimed child beauty pageants to be toxic to the youth, my purpose is to warn parents of the dangers that come with allowing children to participate in such a mature competition. Some may be unaware or conflicted on such controversial activities, so what better way than publish an article stating all of its flaws and…

    I would say that I learned the most about what it really means to have time management after this semester. Entering my first semester of college I had blind faith in the University, and myself because I believe everything would just work out and I would pass because it was meant to be. However, fate and hope are no the things to help you life as a new college student. The drive to wake up, attend class, finish homework, and accept the new responsibility that had been placed in my novice hands diminished greatly as the non-academic temptations became to creep in my head. I must be honest with you and let you know that I did cave and willingly participate in the sweet release of social experiences.…
