Brainstorming a Sub-Genre

To simply have a magazine aimed at teen girls would be too broad, so our team brainstormed on a possible sub-genre. There were already many magazines that were for girls who are coming of age and transitioning. However, when we looked at the average age of those who read teen magazines such as Teen Vogue, Seventeen, and CosmoGirl, the average age were those in their early to mid twenties. We then decided to do a magazine for college students instead. The name "Dragonfly" would still apply because those who are of college age are transitioning from teenager to adult.

We planned to include not only fashion tips and recent pop culture news, but college advice as well. This would incorporate teen magazines and the standard college magazine that is available on campus. We decided to each be assigned with a different seasonal edition of the magazine. I would make the autumn edition, Tanya would make the spring edition, Caitlyn would make the winter edition, and Jillian would make the summer edition. Each edition would contain different seasonal tips that correlate with the different times of the school year, such as advice on summer classes, studying for midterms and finals, and conquering seasonal depression.
