Today, my partner and I decided we ought to first look at other travel magazine layouts in an effort to select a house style for the issues we will each be responsible for producing for the exam.
Below, are three examples of travel magazine layouts that my partner and I liked.

After discussing these examples further, we both decided that the last picture, the notebook style, would suit us and our premise on South Florida travel much better than the first two options for magazine layout that we had previously come up with. This is simply because the notebook aspect brings about a real feeling of 'authenticity' to the piece since it gives an impression that you are reading actual notes from one's travel journal.
Because this particular notebook layout for the magazine gives off an impression of authenticity to perspective readers, it will then provide this travel magazine with an implicit blanket of credibility, even though it will have only recently been thrust headfirst into circulation and is not necessarily well-known. Credibility is essential, especially if you are trying to get people to visit certain places. This is because they cannot make any decision from your magazine unless they believe you because it is focused on travel, which of course requires one's time and money.
As for the title for our magazine, we have come up with, "South Florida EXCURSION."
On the cover will be a 'wordle,' a graphic that uses many words revolving around the same theme and artistically arranges them on the page for each issue to use as a house style. There may be a picture of our particular place for the issue attatched with a paper clip, furthering the authentic appeal. Inside, there will be more a Journal appeal to stimulate a traveler's log. This is why my partner and I decided that we would want to use a standard size for our magazine.
