SHIFT MAGAZINE
My magazine will be a semi annual print magazine that will emphasize to the lives of students transfering from one college to another ( CC to UC, UC to UC, CC to WHEREVER) with stories of experiences, tips, deadlines, college previews and more.·
The readers will be from all walks of life trying to make a change in there surroundings to help them better fit themselves in an environment to achieve. It would most likely be targeted towards the 19-24 old demographic of all walks of life·
To my knowledge the only source where this information could be located are from your friends mouths, or the college biased websites.
IKEA would be prominent, online textbook retailers, trade schools and other university's, alcohol companies, and backpack companies (ie North Face, Jansport, Dakine)
Articles I would run, Doorms vs Off Campus, secrets of a third year transfer, Schools that excel in certain majors, Transferring out of state, and the Costs of directly out of HS and CC.·
The very first story I clearly remember, has to be hands down one of the most influential books in my existence. Where's Spot? by Eric Hill was the reason I know how to read. I went to the Fremont Main Library and looked for this book religiously. It was so simple yet so fun cause it was a pop-up book.

The book that I think I took the most from was The Great Gatsby by F.Scott Fitzgerald. This was one of the first real novels I actually enjoyed in High school. The drama, the characters, and the emotion were just too good. I felt for Gatsby and his yearning for daisy.
Huston Smith's Illustrated World's Religions is a very important book to me. This book opened my eyes to spirituality and enlightened me on the different aspects of religion. I was given this by my father and it was important to me because it helped me understand all the different views and aspects of peoples faith.
MEDIA RESEARCH PROJECT: Does our self-image obsessed society, take in a skewed view of whats normal? Do we have different views from people of different culture?
After reading countless magazines, the pictures of "normal" people in ads is an illusion. I want to do a research project to illustrate what us as a nation believe what is normal. I would do content analysis with various demographics in order to see trends in judgement. A random survey of people who enter a mall, would suffice. I would ask them to choose through a series of Picture A to Picture B questions, and at the end of the survey derive an answer based on there response. If I wanted to take it a step further I could go to another country and do the same thing. In our country a mirage of whats normal is placed, and I believe that it has become so embedded in our minds that the results would reflect that.
