The Proposal

 Hi blog, 

   This is my formal introduction to my project! To start off, my name is Melanie, and I will be working by myself. I will be creating a lifestyle magazine. My magazine will be about food and will focus on the Mediterranean diet. I chose this because I enjoy cooking, and this will be a fun topic for me.

    My target audience for this magazine is young adults who enjoy cooking and want to incorporate new, healthy foods into their diets. It will also be for people who are interested in a cultivated, simple food rotation.

    Potential issues I will address are access to food and cultural traditions. I will focus on these by providing alternate food/ingredient options. This magazine is meant to focus on the Mediterranean diet; however, cultural traditions can differ in how the recipe is cooked or prepared. That said, I don't intend for this to follow every cultural tradition, but just the most common one.

    The software I plan to use is InDesign. I will have to touch up on my skills. I hope to get better at my editing and design skills.

    My plan for the portfolio will be to get a step done every week and keep constant progress. My style will be clean, sophisticated, and engaging. I will keep looking at different magazines and keep finding inspiration for my project!
