Magazine Proposal

The name of the magazine I want to create is Mi Amour Magazine. I feel that is will be a great magazine that teenage girls and women will enjoy. This would be different form other magazine because in this magazine there will be stories on every type of relationship dealing with family, friends and one's other half. It help people cope with some problems that they may have in a particular part if a relationship. This will include breakups and makeups, fights with family or friends, issues one dating and many more not just pictures of fashion. Some competition that this magazine will have to face is seventeen and life. The magazine will be guided towards all women teenagers to adult as well as to some men who may need a little advise on dealing with women. This is for every race, no matter where one comes from people are interested in relationship whether is with a love one or friends. This is for people what wants to know about being in a relationship or finding a answer about a type of relationship. Some advertisers that would be interested are dating networks, match.com, gap, radio stations, psychologist, and band - aid healing one's pain. Five articles would be, Finding one's love, what to do if one find themselves in a violent relationship, being single and family pressure to find love, lies that friends tell one another, how to help a friend that is dealing with hard times. those are some times of articles that would be in the magazine.

Some of my favorite books that I like are the coldest winter ever, a piece of cake and Sula. They influence me with the lessons and stories in the books. In “The Coldest Winter", the author Sister Souljah informs the reader; about the journey of a girl name winter. The book made me have a different perspective on my life. I have a different lifestyle from Winter, so I thought of what my life would turn out like if I didn't have a strong family structure. In the book, "A Piece Of Cake", the author cupcake brown talks about her own life and how she overcame her struggles. It made me sad because I can feel the pain of the author as I was reading the book. In the book Sula it made me think a lot throughout the book because I had to find out some of the language in the story.

Media Impact

One thing that i think of when i hear media impact is body image. Many women and young women are influence, or compare themselves to who they see around them. Many people blame the media for putting out the idea image of what is normal and how one is suppose to look like. However, everyone comes from different background and shapes. What the media portray as the ideal women is one who is small and skinny. That ideal image creates a negative impact for women and girls.
The ideal image that is created by the media leads women to eating disorder. Eating disorder has a negative effect one women health and body. The models that are on magazine weigh twenty-five less than most normal women according the the article the media," The Media", by Karyn. This subject hits a close place to me because my friend had a problem with eating disorder and it took her a long time to get over that situation. I seen her at her worse and it was sad to me. I still supported her and was there whenever she needed me, so she didn't feel life she going though that struggle alone. This is why i think of eating disorder when i hear media impact because my friend wanted to change her shape to what she saw in the media. The is also other complaints dealing with the issues of media and eating disorder.
