Publishing House Case Study
Harris Publishing Incorporation is a publishing company that includes a variety of 15 niche publications and 5 specialty events in those areas.
Harris Publishing is well known and valued in these industries for its writing, photography and design. Harris Publishing began in 1971, and launched three magazines: “SnoWest” “Potato Grower” and “Sugar Producer”. Through the years, other publications in boating, golf, trucks, lifestyle, snowmobiling, and industry publications were added.
In publishing these niche titles it was obvious there was a need for related events. Harris Publishing Inc aims their magazines at people that take an interest in boats, snowmobiles and golf. Thus, Harris Publishing filled these needs in the boating, snowmobiling, and golf areas and started the National Houseboat Expo, On the Water Expo, Intermountain Snowmobile Show, Idaho Snowmobile Show, and the Mountain West Golf Expo.
In keeping with their tradition of setting the velocity in the market they have partnered with the leading digital and print fulfilment company.

Harris Publishing may target different audiences to broaden the amount of readers they can get. By doing this, the more readers they achieve the more profit they receive. However, if they only targeted one type of audience, it would be likely that they would achieve a less audience.

Feedback:
Gabriel- your magazine looks really good, well done! and your blog is looking really nice and tidy- not sure about the template you've used though- its a bit narrow- can you change it so that the centre section where your blog posts are is wider, as it is difficult to judge how much you have written in each post.

Music Mag Draft : FrontPage
This is a draft of my music magazine that i will create later on. the color scheme of the page will be red, black, white & yellow. The masthead will be kept in it ideal place, which is the left third of the front page. The selling line will be at the top of the magazine on top of a highlighted background to make it stand out. The cover lines will be aligned at both sides of the page, but the main cover line will be positioned across the chest of the artist in the main image. The main cover line will in red and black colors, outlined with a white stroke around it. The dateline will be placed on top of the main cover line but will be left in white font but will have an outer, dissolving glow of maybe white or red. Underneath the main cover line At the bottom right hand corner will be the position of the bar code and above that will be the price of the magazine. At the bottom of the magazine is the name of the website for the magazine, this will be in yellow or white colors so that it can still be spotted by readers.
