YOUR LIFE MATTERS.

THIS ISSUE IS ALL ABOUT TAKING CARE OF YOU.

For my magazine concept, I have decided to create my own magazine, titled Senses. The reason for the title in this case is that I have created a magazine for young women {and those who have a feminine gender expression or consider themselves non-binary) that covers various topics related to the fie senses – sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. Each of these fie senses are covered within the magazine throughout various articles.

There are similar ‘women’s lifestyle’ magazines that are out there in the market of today. These include Cosmopolitan, Real Simple, Good Housekeeping, and Self. However, there are a few things that set Senses apart from these magazines. First of all, magazines that t within the women’s lifestyle category are primarily directed at middle-aged and older women. Senses aspires to change the narrative that lifestyle magazines are for the older crowd. Rather, Senses seeks to target people with a feminine identity who are passionate about style, prominent issues, and improving all aspects of their lives. Senses wants to help the younger crowd who are just beginning to navigate the real world, live their lives to the fullest. In addition to targeting a new demographic, Senses bridges topics within each of the senses together to create a well-rounded experience. While other magazines, such as the ones listed previously, may only touch upon two to three of the fie senses, Senses covers it all. No longer are there the times where a high-fashion magazine might suggest a new playlist, or perhaps the occasional throw pillow. Senses’ goal is to provide suggestions for the best of the best, accommodating individuals with even the most selective tastes.

As mentioned, the appeal of Senses is its ability to cover a breadth of topics in a way that is appealing to those who appreciate the best – a lá Vogue, in feel – but, of course, much more diverse. These topics will be scattered throughout the magazine, but in the magazine’s table of contents, appear under the fie categories: SIGHT, SOUND, SMELL, TASTE, and TOUCH. “SIGHT” will cover fashion, art, and activities (“sights”); “SOUND” will cover up-and-coming music, and important news (classifiedunder a subtopic titled Did you hear?); “SMELL” will cover fragrances, and occasionally house-plant cultivation; “TASTE” will cover recipes and restaurants; and “TOUCH” will cover makeup, beauty, and home décor.

Of course, anyone can make articles about life and style. What Senses does, is keeps them interesting. Somewhere between high-end and alternative in nature, Senses as a magazine eliminates the probability of getting boring. While some magazines are confinedto plain spreads with increasingly dull topics, Senses takes pleasure in avoiding the mundane. How might the magazine do this, and entice its audience? Well, besides just sticking to one genre of style, as a semi-alternative magazine, Senses decidedly covers many genres. For example, while runway fashion might be shown in one part, alternative street fash-

Somewhere between high-end and alternative in na- ture, Senses as a magazine eliminates the probability of getting boring. While some magazines are confinedto plain spreads with increasingly dull topics, Senses takes pleasure in avoiding the mundane. How might the magazine do this, and entice its audience? Well, besides just sticking to one genre of style, as a semi-alternative magazine, Senses decidedly covers many genres.

For example, while runway fashion might be shown in one part, alternative street fashion might be shown in the next. Additionally, across other topics – when referencing recipes, many magazines oftentimes only publish recipes catering to omnivorous diets with no allergies. Senses may include gluten-free recipes, vegan recipes, dairy-free recipes… and restaurants to match. 
