Magazine Project Research- 5

EDIBLE SARASOTA COOKS!
Edible Sarasota is a free magazine available in local restaurants, hotels, coffee shops, etc., that highlights Sarasota's local markets and restaurants. Their mission statement states that they "aim to connect consumers with these local growers, retailers, chefs, and food artisans, enabling those relationships to grow and thrive in a healthful, and economically viable way." Edible Sarasota claims that they are "part of a growing national movement throughout this country that is encouraging people to eat more locally-grown and locally-produced foods."

 COVER PAGE
The cover page of this magazine highlights one of their main articles about Michael Saunders, a local real estate agent. The cover image is crisp and has very vibrant colors, that attract the reader. On the right hand side of the magazine the main article is displayed along with a few smaller ones. The use of the "+" to connect the article titles is a great addition. I like the way this is presented and plan to do something similar when recreating my copy.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
The way this table of contents is presented is very interesting. The background for the entire page is a whole picture with text on top of it. This makes the page look put together and eliminates white space in the background.

ARTICLES
The articles in this issue of Edible Sarasota have large half page pictures followed with the article itself. This catches the eye of the reader. By including pictures into the magazine, the reader assumes that there is less to read, or becomes interested in the article because of the pictures.


ADVERTISEMENTS
Advertisements included in this magazine are all for local restaurants. Because this magazine is free to the public, I think the company uses the advertisements to pay for the production of the magazine. This magazine has a lot of ads, something that I would not want to include in my issue.

Table of Contents Template

TABLE OF CONTENTS Most magazines have similar table of contents template/outlines in each of their issues; however some, such as Taste of Homes, do not. My partner and I decided that each of our magazine issues would have a unique table of contents design. This way the reader sees something different each time they open one of our magazines. For my table of contents, I decided to use this picture I took while at Shore on Saint Armand's. Over the picture I created a table of contents title, as well as text boxes for each article title. Below is an image of the table of contents template, followed by the table of contents finished draft.  TEMPLATE DRAFT

Photo Shoot- Shore

SUNDAY BRUNCH AT SHORE For my visit/photo shoot at Shore Restaurant on Saint Armand's, I decided to go during brunch. Every Sunday morning Shore serves Brunch from 10am-2pm. They have a life DJ and a crowd of people every weekend that come in just for the special brunch menu. Included below is a picture of the brunch menu, from Shore's website.  CRUNCHY CHALLAH FRENCH TOAST For brunch at Shore, I decided to go with something I usually wouldn't order. The Crunchy Challah French Toast is a beautiful plate of four pieces of french toast and seasonal fruit, topped with a scoop of house made whip cream. My usual brunch meal from Shore would include a Kale Salad or the Shore burger, but for the purpose of the photo shoot I decided to go with something that would look great on the cover of a magazine. The Challah French Toast is a beautiful plate that I knew would be cover worthy! PHOTO SHOOT PICTURES  When taking pictures of the Crunchy Challah Fre...
