EXTENSIVE GENRE RESEARCH: Editorial and Topics

As far as my genre of my magazine is concerned, it has a different type of editorial and of course a wide and different variety of topics or articles that make up the Dog Care Magazine.

In a dog magazine's editorial we notice a certain style of writing and a specific tone in which the editor writes the editorial. The language is really friendly and the readers can easily assume that the editor themselves is either a dog owner or a dog lover, like they use the statements "I know I'm not the only dog owner who feels....". This makes the readers more satisfied that the person who has compiled or written the magazine, would be an experienced person in the matter of dogs.

The editorial majorly talks about the theme of the magazine too in one or two lines for instance the kind of articles it contains or the kind of topics the magazine talks about so that the readers know from the first page (the editorial) of the magazine if they should buy it or not.

Most of the editorials in dog care magazines used adjectives and words for dogs that seems appealing and catchy for the readers who would be dog owners or dog lovers. This includes words and phrases like "terrier charms", "strengthening your bond with your dog" and vice versa.

Similarly, dog magazines consist of topics and articles that focus on the grooming, the treatment, accessories, food, and many more kinds of information regarding the dog and information that would definitely help a dog owner out to some extent.

As we can see in this example, some of the articles include "dog shopping",

"all about breeds", "the right dog" etc, which seem like helpful and informative articles.

PUBLISHING HOUSE

The publishing house that I chose for my animal magazine would be DAWN. DAWN is a well known publishing house since its the oldest english language newspaper/ magazine in Pakistan. They usually have their spotlights on a variety of topics so in my opinion, they will feel no hesitation to publish my genre as well. Another reason of the less likely chances for DAWN to reject my magazine is the number of people with dogs as pets in our country is quite high, which means that the genre of my magazine will be proven beneficial for many people since it is highly representative.

PHOTOGRAPHY RULES

Photography rules and their information is as important as anything else in media. We discussed a number of rules that should be considered while we take a photo, and rules that we should knowing while taking our shots. Here are some of the shots I took and the rules that they belong to : DEPTH OF FIELD: 'Depth of field' is used for objects in the background and the foreground. It focuses on the main subject. LEADING LINES: 'Leading Lines' show the effect that the viewer is being dragged towards a specific subject and draw the viewers eye to a specific direction. NOSE ROOM: 'Nose Room' is the space between the subject in a photo and the next moving or still object being looked towards. HEAD ROOM: The 'Head Room' is the space between the subjects head and the top of the frame ie the space of the room.

DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY

As far as the distribution of my magazine is concerned, it will be made available in majorly all urban areas that are highly populated. These would be Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, and Multan in particular since statistics and research states that mostly dog owners are found in these urban areas. I will be selling my magazine's copies at a fair price in the number of 1000. These will be available at big shops and stalls where mostly the upper class, upper middle class, and the middle class people will have their reach.
