Initial thoughts and ideas

 My initial idea is to make a regional running magazine, aimed at people aged 16 upwards. I have chosen this because running is something I am very interested in and like to read about. I know that it is also something a lot of people in Cornwall are interested in because of our amazing countryside and endless trails to run on. I think it could be a really good idea and work well in our regional area as I feel there is a gap in the market.


I like the style of Runners world magazine. I think I will use a magazine like this to take ideas from when I create my own. However, because my magazine is regional, I would like to take ideas from a regional magazine in my area. For example Cornwall today. If I could incorporate running with the scenery of Cornwall I think that could be a really great idea.

 

I think the content of the magazine should be simple, factual and to the point. Runners like to know facts. Things that will aid them in their performances and new kit to help them along the way. The image below is a key example of what I would like to do. Simple, yet effective, this cover shows facts and style. With a simple colour scheme matching the scenery and the athlete.
