Magazine Guidance

Passion in Profession

Having an opportunity to work for magazines provides a myriad of topical coverage. Writing about every category, from gossip to gardening, magazines’ physical and online presence influences audiences all across the globe. Depending on your interest, however, simply working for a magazine can be a drastically different experience due to the specificity of their topics. Therefore, as anticipated, those from the producer side of the business have a type of favorability when choosing their management. 

Motivation of a Magazine

My own favorite media genre is world travel and exploration. Therefore, National Geographic, the most well-known company in this genre, is the highest goal motivating my work. While deciphering my most significant interests, the subjects of global perspectives, travel abroad, graphic design, and volunteer projects combined to solidify my overall passion. For that reason, being able to work for a magazine and utilizing those subjects is the best plan for my future. While pursuing a degree in graphic design, my place within a magazine would also follow that path.

Global Interest

National Geographic today is most known for its photography and world stories. Their magazines allow people to connect through the stories they write and visual elements despite having never been there. The audiences reached through this writing range from well-traveled explorers to historians to even kids, all simply curious about what the world can offer. People who have grown up knowing only one environment are often limited by the perspective it shapes. However, National Geographic opens opportunities to counter those limitations and explore their global interest. 

Stepping Stones

Being a graphic designer for National Geographic is my highest goal. Even so, there are plenty of stepping stones to reach that position. The aspect I have found most intriguing through the process is broadening my perspective by diving even further into subjects I have no history in. The stealth subjects, the ones that are not expected to have an impact on the main goal, are the authentic influencers that round future approaches to passion. Filling in the cracks between subjects, these subjects create a versatile mindset that can adapt to a broader variety of situations. Altogether, working towards an audacious goal is important; However, absorbing the present surroundings in the steps to get there paves stability in the long run.
