Magazines
Title: Literal Image
Concept: I’m thinking of a magazine that combines photography and literature alike. Photographers would not only have their images published but also be invited to discuss their work and inspirations. Also included would be tips on how to take better pictures and how to edit images in Photoshop/Lightroom. For the literature part, there would be book reviews, criticisms and reflections as well as recommendations on various selections that range from challenging the reader’s own perceptions to light reading. I might even put short stories and poems submitted by readers and commentary by selected guests.
Readers: Bibliophiles and people who love photography; generally people above the age of 20
Competition: Rangefinder, Professional Photographer, literary magazines such as the Literary Review and the Paris Review
Five Advertisers: Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Starbucks, Borders, and local bookstores
